    Who's Croatia's CB pairing atm. Any reason why he wasn't called up for their senior squad?

    Vida and Corluka I would guess. Two good players tbh.

    Should certainly have been in their squad though.

    Corluka has to be slower the even weir by now, jozo should be getting ahead of him if corluka is actually in one of the cb roles

    Scott Brown is older than Corluka. He was a young lad at City.

    Jozo Simunovic will start tonight on the plastic at Hamilton and then be at the heart of the defence against the French.

    Rodgers added: “He’ll play at Hamilton, and that will be the last of the plastic for a little while. But he needs some minutes out there before he can be available for Tuesday.”

    Nah Lovern has been in instead of Corluka, not any better right enough, * I'd prefer Corluka.

    Incredibly wary of him starting on this pitch.

    Don't know what to make of him starting this game tonight.
    On one hand he needs as much minutes as possible as he's not played alot of games of late domestically or internationally. But the plastic pitch at accies gives me the fear and we cant face Neymar, Cavani and Mbappe with Ajer and Bitton.

    As do I but one wrong turn on the pitch is out of even his hands.

    Hopefully the problem isn't as bad as before. I'm sure it isn't otherwise he wouldn't play.

    One wrong turn on any pitch can do that, I know the plastic ones are different but if Brendan and the medical staff think's it is ok, you have to trust that judgement.

    Tis a risk indeed but as is sending our only CB into a game against one of the best front 3s in the world without having played a game in weeks

    Exactly. Do an efe ambrose and he may never recover mentally from it.

    Very risky from Brendan to play Jozo tonight, but it is the right choice.

    He is our no.1 CB, and we need him match fit for PSG.

    I think that he needs to play tonight.

    He's not had much game time recently and that may be a factor throwing him in against PSG in terms of match fitness.

    Anyway, why can't he play on a plastic pitch? Ffs, he's a big strong man.. it never ever done any of us any harm growing up.

    I'm sure he will be fine.

    I know why we don't like playing him, it just * me off. There's a few players that aren't allowed to play on plastic pitches and I don't think old players would have had a problem with it.
