Celtic v Liverpool Dublin August 10th (K.O 5pm).

Friendly or not, I hope we beat the *. Also is this now the official match thread for the game?

 

It's been Dublin Decided.

 

Finally got my ticket for this which end am I in with a ticket for the east stand lower block 110

 

Probably going to miss this. Hope we do them.

 

Our squad is a mixture of first team and development squad players, and they have went with a full strength squad!

 

Cant wait for this trip now, gone be good and i hope its like every other away day, with nea trouble just fans enjoying themselves, like the way you could at home games once

 

Cannot wait for this now!

 

Hope Celtic fans arent expecting too much against Liverpool

Neil Lennon has just announced that only 3 players who started the game against Elfsborg will travel to Dublin. We'll pretty much be fielding a second string team.

Bit disappointing for our Irish based supporters. I hope Liverpool arent taking this too seriously and field a full strength team because we could end up getting gubbed. That wouldnt look good and would do nothing for enhancing our reputation in Ireland.

Lenny will be wanting to avoid injuries to our first team players and keep them fresh but do you think he should be taking this a bit more seriously?

 

Similar team as brentford then.

It will still be a good day out.

 

Not really paying much attention to it to be honest. Celtic have to make qualification for the Champions League their main priority and this is only a friendly.

 

Aye the fans will still have a great time im sure and Celtic are still capable even with a weakened team.

 

Good, friendlies are a complete waste of time, the sooner they get rid of this calling off league games to suit friendlies the better

 

I think they will be surprised by us tomorrow, we might * a draw.

Can see Liverpool winning this unfortunately

 

Liverpool will probably play a strong team since it's their last friendly until their league starts.

 

I hope the youngsters play well..

Not fussed about the scoreline too much as long as we give them a game..

Zaluska

Fisher
Mouyokolo
Ambrose or Irvine
Waters

Kayal
Brown or ledley
Rogic

Mcgeough
Watt

Balde

Think it'll be something like that..

 

I understand the logic in playing in Ireland and all the great PR we get etc but why on earth can this fixture not be arranged earlier, the last one in Dublin 2 years ago was the same, these frendlies in Dublin have their merits but not at the expense of competitive fixtures!

Last week of July would be the logical time!

 

good to see the youngsters getting a chance

 

Expected Liverpool team:

Mignolet Johnson Toure Wisdom Enrique Lucas Allen Gerrard Coutinho Downing Aspas

Subs: Jones Alberto Assaidi Henderson Sturridge Coates Borini Sterling Kelly Flanagan Ibe

 

I'd put out a very defensive team.

Zaluska
Matthews Balde Mouyokolo Izzy
McGeough Twardzik Kayal Ledley Stokes
Watt

That's right, i'm a dafty - Balde at center half, just for old times sake
