If you cast your mind back 50 weeks to the visit of Barcelona to Celtic Park you may remember we took to the field with a so-called skeleton squad. Captain, Scott Brown, was missing, as was Hooper, Stokes and Izaguirre. Of those outfield players on the bench, only Paddy McCourt had made a dozen appearances for the club.
We lost Lustig and Samaras to knocks during the game, replaced by Watt and Kayal, respectively (yes, an 18-year-old striker replaced the right back).
The script was written. We have another enormous challenge ahead tonight but I would rather tackle Ajax than Barcelona.
There will be an abundance of energy from the crowd, and from the Celtic players, but discipline is all important. Don’t make unforced errors, don’t take unnecessary risks, don’t pull jerseys, and most importantly of all, don’t concede free kicks in dangerous areas.
The team who makes the fewest mistakes will win the game; we don’t need to be desperately creative, just stick to task.
This is our Cup Final, let me at them…

It doesn’t really matter who is selected to start tonight’s match.
All that matters is that those who are, play well.

Quiz question, unconnected to footy.
What is the significance of the following letters?
j k q v w x y z

They’re not in the Gaelic alphabet?
philbhoy- That’s a pity, still, not a total waste
Quiet at the moment as you can see by the posting of useless quiz questions!!
Fergie being questioned by reporters on his new book .
Do they think they will ask him why he nutted Bobby Murdoch and why he instructed Cooper to nail Charlie Nic before he got out the centre circle ??

clunks and jimmci- on the money- which one of you is Alex O’Henley then? Gle mhath!
Does anyone know if the Kerrydale Bar is open tonight and if so from what time?
The club website is unhelpful on this – it does say this facility is not available for high risk fixtures ?? eh?
Commiserations to the other answers, some of which were very funny!

Don’t forget yer REBS tracks.
Wouldnae like to see you having a wasted day,you know,one where you don’t shaft a well-meaning Celtic supporter.
Or even worse,a family on their way home from Mass who can’t afford a car.

Phoned Dalmuir station. Think it will be ok later. Thanks again bud.
I am Uncle Google……….
It tells me all trivia.
If we avoid defeat tonight, we’re still playing for 2nd place.
If we lose, we’re playing for 3rd; STILL playing for 3rd.
Remember that before the toys get flung oot the pram.
This mob are Ajax in name only. 3-0, comfortable, Sammi’s big night.

Hi Pal
work done for the day
will be in town about 5ish
Merchant city area.

Ledley must play tonight. Of all the midfielders that we’ll have available he will maintain his positioning and ensure that we don’t give the ball away cheaply and in dangerous areas.
Huge night for Kayal if he starts. He has much to prove, possibly a CL night against European giants could just be the stage he needs.

Congratulations on your excellent contribution this morning. This supberb analysis deserves wider circulation and I hope it reaches the Celtic Board,S.F.A. and U.E.F.A.at least. Otherwise we risk just talking to ourselves on here- enjoyable though that may be.

Totally agree. Joe and Beram are our two most important players tonight. Think they will both be up for it! Have a hunch that Amido has a big part to play.

Celtic playing well, why do the continentals look bigger and fitter?
Celtic have had the best chances 3 Ajax more possession. Dutch happy to play from the back very slowly.
