Have to win, but i'm still digesting the 93rd min goal to make it 1-1 versus the new club from the highlands.

1-0 away will do. Hopefully have a few more players back from injury.
-
Anyone know what size the Helsingborgs pitch is like?

Need a top performance for this one. We are so close. Same team as against HJK but obviously Kayal in for Wanyama.

A score draw would be smashing.

Alright. Not ideal, but we should be prepared for this type of tight game, by now.
Keep it tight, then * them at Paradise. :50: -
Lenny's single most important game to date as a manager, in my opinion. The games against the old Rangers were very important in the context of the title, atmosphere, and bragging rights, obviously, but in footballing and financial terms, this is absolutely massive and a must win.
It's time to regain our rightful place in Europe's premier competition, lads. It has been way too long.

Hooper
That would be the team I'd go for. Normally, big Vic would be sitting in behind the midfield and protecting the defence, but such is life.
I can't even contemplate us losing this. A score draw would even be great for us, if it came down to it, as we would more than likely finish the tie at Celtic Park. Simply can't wait for this. -
Under no circumstances should Gary Hooper be played up front on his own. It has been tried and it has failed.
I am seriously hoping that Hooper is 100% fit for the game, and that the young and fearless Tony Watt is given a chance.
It may be a bit of a gamble, but one we really need to take. -
if we play like today we may aswell not turn up on the 2nd leg....but if we play to our best ill say 2-0 hooper fgs
-
:97: We shouldn't be taking any gambles. Hooper may struggle in the lone-role, but he delivers. Go with what we know is tried and tested; go with what got us here in the first place.
Just puts the onus on our midfielders to be creative and support him! -
A draw 1-1 would be * outstanding result IMO commons to score a screamer. Or hooper to just be in the right place like normal. When hooper gets moving he's unstoppable. Away goal will prove vital as I think that's what will get us through this tie

Hooper toils in ever game he plays as a lone striker - it's true.
He either feeds off his partner, or works hard to feed him. He is unable to take the ball in the air, and struggles to hold the ball up long enough for the midfield support.
If Stokes/Bangura are fit, then they need to partner Hooper.
If not, then Watt must be given the jersey. -
I would have Watt well ahead of Bangura. At least the former has actually scored goals in the first team.
-
So would I, but Bangura has experience of scoring numerous goals in Sweden :50:
