Daunting. Four first- choices down, two at the back; two at the front. Broonie possibly carrying an injury; Griff still in need of games.
But we still have our biggest asset, and that’s the manager. I think his ability to change tactics in answer to how the game flows might be the deciding factor.
In Brendan I trust.
Mon the Bhoys – give it to them, right in the marbles.

We will need everyone at full speed tonight Really worrying number of injuries we seem to collect.

I’m hoping for a scoring draw, that sees our bhoys thru, failing that I ‘d like us to show some cutting edge and at the very least go down fightin’.

Up against it tonight but hope springs eternal. If we can keep it tight at the back it only takes one goal to change things.
They’re missing a key player as well, Chringysky the centre half, who also missed the first leg.
I remember us being caught not knowing whether to stick or twist in the 2014 CL playoff v Maribor after having drawn 1-1 away from home in the first leg. Lets hope AEK think the job is already done, if they do then we have a chance.
Mon the hoops.

So it’s warm weather football for Celts again to-night. just cannot believe that we start this match without our top French strike force but Griff is also a top goalador and lucky he’s fit for the match. Why does this man take corner kicks when his place should be in the box at all times?
I did not see the game last week and know absolutely nothing about this team except it was their first competitive outing of the season and from reports just sat back and defended. Hope this lack of football will come back to haunt them this evening. Celtic look a bit more solid at the back and Jozo can be good on his day and hopefully Mikel can reproduce his World Cup form.

The number of injuries we pick up must be related to the fact that we played more than 60 games last season and the same the season before that, and the last 2 close seasons were measured in days rather than weeks.
But that’s for another time.

From what I witnessed in the first leg, this lit can play a bit but will dive, moan and cheat their way through this game tonight.
Fancy us to score a late winner for 2-1 on the night.
Cmon Bhoys! Into these feta munching bawbags!

I think we’ll need to score 4 as I see them getting 3.
Would liked to have seen Gamboa for lustig and Kouassi for Rogic (keeping it tight in the midfield)

Emm…if they get 3 we only need 3.

While we’re waiting for kick off can I ask again if anyone knows of a pub in or around Corofin County Clare that will be showing the League Cup match on Saturday lunchtime. There’s EPL ‘entertainment ‘ on at the same time which might limit the options.
Thanks in advance and
C’mon the Bhoys in Greece.

Need to be clinical in the key moments. At both ends.
Can’t be leaving big gaps between defence and midfield when they break.
We can do this. C’mon Celtic!

Three things.
Our defence will have to play very well. That’s defence. Too many on here worrying about our defense.
If we fail tonight, we still have a play off round to negotiate to secure Europa League participation until Christmas, it is not a given.
DAVID17 , yes going into the last 5 having seemingly do our job getting to 3- 3 ,i would like that wee bit of security …..you know Celtic always a tightrope :)).
Auldheid on
I am going to say this and say it only once.
This is not the line up BR would have wanted to field but due to injuries/circumstances it is the best we have.
What guarantee would we have that had we bought a higher standard of player that they would be available for the kind of game they had been bought to play in?
How many of such should we have on our books and at what cost to minimize the risk of not qualifying because of their absence?
Its a friggin lottery so how many tickets do you need to buy to get your money back?
Rant over.
C’mon Celtic
