Midtjylland play their second league game of the season away to AaB Aalborg tomorrow evening, hoping to win their first points. Aab finished seventh last term, so it is a game Midtjylland will feel they have to win to get their domestic campaign on track.
Celtic are free of competitive pressures this weekend, facing West Ham at home tomorrow, where we can give players still working on their fitness an hour, then rest them for the trip to Denmark.
There is plenty of confidence ahead of the second leg against Midtjylland after a solid performance on Tuesday night but the name Aalborg will cause many of us to flinch. The then Danish champions travelled to Celtic Park in the 2008 Champions League group stage. It is fair to say they could be the weakest team we faced at that level, but indecisive finishing, for some of the game against 10 men, and a missed Barry Robson penalty, meant the game finished 0-0.
Celtic bossed the return leg at Aab’s tiny stadium and Robson atoned for his penalty miss by giving the visitors a second half lead.
Here’s the thing about football. You can think you are safe, then a deflected shot flies in from nowhere and a deflected cross hits a defender and allows a semi-professional outfit to beat Celtic to the Uefa Cup spot.
I hope we use every moment of our preparatory time tomorrow wisely. Nothing can be taken for granted.

being brutally honest , we are brutal at the back , barkas , ralston , taylor ,just not good enough , welsh has no pace and continually getting out run , murray is just a young who should be with the B team today.
TONTINE TIM
A few years back when we were supposed to be in for David Moyes, couldn’t believe the amount of comments rubbishing him.I think he was first mentioned when he was at PNE.

if you criticize the performance, or express any negativity, you are uncaring, not knowledgable, and not a Celtic supporter.
……………………………
You to a T!
Novi Sad. That would have suited you.
C’MON THE CELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scottish referees in charge and we have already concede 2 soft penalties against foreign opposition at parkhead.
A foretaste of what is to come next season.
Before a ball is kicked we are already 12 to 15 points behind sevco.

Apparently, if you criticize the performance, or express any negativity, you are uncaring, not knowledgable, and not a Celtic supporter. Didn’t know that, even although I have supported them for 60 years in far flung places including Novi Sad, Tirana, Kiev, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Hartford and Toronto. Every day’s a school day.

Correct as far as most of the inhabitants of this place are concerned.

too easy for WH against the youngsters – very good play for us up front
A game like this should focus the mind of the board.
Another lightning counter attack and we are ripped apart.
Too easy. 4-2 WH.

That, quite simply, is not true. CONSTANT criticism is what irritates me, definitely and others I suspect.
Sounds like the midfield are good going forward……………………….
Rogic, Forrest, Hjelde and pretty much all the subs on including Griff and Bitton.
All 10 outfield players substituted
Think was 10 changes.
These bhoys should be playing against EK at this stage of their development, not WHU. Shambles that’s our defence in the ECL.
Team looks good going forward. As promised we’ll score a lot and concede a lot.
what a finish that was from west ham , we are shambles at defending.
Where the hell was our left back? You could land a plane in the huge area left unoccupied by any Celtic player down our left side. Dearie me!
Griffiths roundly booed
Griffiths getting booed what the hell is that all bout? Disgusting!
Bain saves at feet if Antonio.
Griff gets a sniff.
Corner
Griff being booed…shameful
A lot of booing for Griff.
