    After a comfortable and excellent wins against Raith midweek and Motherwell today we return to CL on Tuesday which should see Lenny have an almost fully fit squad to pick from and he will certainly have a selection headache in midfield.

    Who will he leave out and what will the tactics be?

    There's no doubting Spartak are a classy side but I think if we create and take our chances whilst keeping it tight at the back, we can go over there and come away with at least one point and maybe even surprise a few with a win.

    I can hardly wait for this one.

    a whole different ball game as Spartak are on a whole other level to anything we face in Scotland.

    will be delighted if we can get a point though I've got a sneaky feeling we might just sneak a win, especially with the form Hooper and Commons are in at the moment! :50:

    It's now got to the point if you somehow manage to pick who will play and where you deserve a medal. Options in every single position now, the only one you could say with any conviction would be Forster in goals barring injury.

    Today filled me with confidence personally, the possession play at times was superb and very 'European'. If we can defend well and keep the ball well as we did today I can see us taking a point, we have to remember this Spartak side earned universal praise for their performance in the Camp Nou. This is the big boys we're in with now.

    I am worryingly optimistic about this. Thinking 2-1 Celts.

    Think we can do a job in Moscow and atleast get a draw, as long as we dont concede an early goal that will knock the team's confidence.

    1-1 for me. A draw would be an amazing result.

    Anyone of Ambrose, Rogne or Wilson could partner Mulgrew at the back.

    I fancy our chances of atleast a draw. I think they will probably have a fair bit more possession but with the pace of Samaras and Forrest on the wings we can be very dangerous on the breaks.

    Forster
    Matthews Ambrose Mulgrew Izaguirre
    Forrest Brown Wanyama Ledley Samaras
    Hooper​

    Head says defeat Heart says we'll take something.

    Spartak are a far better team than Benfica imo

    No Commons Slaw?

    Undroppable for me atm.

    Forster
    Matthews Wilson Mulgrew Izzy
    Ambrose Wanyama Ledley
    Commons Hooper Sammy

    Feeling cautiously optimistic for this one. A draw would seem to be a good result for us but I have a sneaky feeling we could sneak a win, we seem to be hitting a bit of form at the right time.

    2-1 Celtic.
