While I want a win, or a clean sheet, what I would really like to see is evidence of what we have learned since Anderlecht ran through us in Glasgow two months ago. We have a genuine chance to eliminate a stronger opponent and reach the last 16 of the Europa League, but merely hoping the same strategy that was so overwhelmingly ineffective at home to PSG, Bayern and Anderlecht, will work better this time, is not going to cut it.
Let’s keep it tight until late in the game, when Zenit’s energy levels will be stretched. I also think we get more out of Forrest, Sinclair and Dembele with space to exploit in the forward third. I know we are unpractised at this, but, all going well, we will face far stronger opponents in September, when a polished rear-guard action will definitely be needed.
Today’s lesson: how to defend against skillful opponents.

Didn’t take it as, aye I am retired but if the truth be known I prob work harder now than I ever did, running a dog rescue is hard work, you can trust me on that, I also have two internet shops to help pay for the rescue cos without them we couldn’t do it, that takes up half of my waking life, I drink cos I drink, I could stop if I really wanted to, I did a few years back, lost a whean of weight and felt Ok, but for sure I wore the abacus down :-)
It relieves the stress of the day.

Since Van Dijk and Denayer appeared together 37 times in 2014/15 no Celtic centre back pairing has completed more than 15 games together in a season. With Celtic conceding a goal a game, the worst since Mowbray, this is the problem position. But there is hope!
