Under normal circumstances, you would expect Celtic to rest players in a home League Cup tie against Falkirk ahead of a European game, but building fitness and synergy remains a top priority this early in the season.
If we consider the positivity which enveloped Benjamin Nygren following his goal at Aberdeen on Sunday, going full blast on Falkirk might give some of the forwards a confidence boost before things turn serious next week.
Hibs and Dundee United are a long way off league stage European football, but they can both fancy their chances in the third qualification round tonight. Even Hibs cannot surely ‘Hibs it’ after winning 0-2 in Belgrade last week. United were excellent in their draw with Rapid but there is still a lot to do in that tie.
This season we have at least three from five clubs in ‘league stage’ competition. If United and Hibs don’t make it, points gathered by those three are divided by five. Getting a fourth or fifth side can make all the difference to our coefficient points.

east coast commentary
dinnie gi the ba tae the goalie.
git to caw canny on that
Seems like Hibs are trying to protect their lead, not really pressing 10 man Partisan
Extra time in Dundee
Hibs keeper comes up big with two great saves in a row…not before time
5 minutes extra in Edinburgh
I’m not suggesting we sign him but ..
Keiran Bowie is showing us what Adam Idam isn’t
Bugger
jaysus fek hibs!
Extra time
Bowie is nowhere near Celtic Class.
Leave him where he is.
Unbelievable drama at Easter Road.
Hibs Hibs it.
Last kick of the ball
To be fair very well worked by a team who looked sure they would score.
partisan favourites in my book now.
Bowie unlucky on 89. Ref gives foul, when it wasn’t, as he goes through on goal.
Hibs collapsed into their own box for most of the last ten instead of exploiting their man advantage
However owners on 89 was a good shoulder to shoulder win – no foul
Hibs having trouble getting the ball

Not saying it’s right – tonight it clearly wasn’t – but 99% of teams would do the same I think.
Unfortunately it looks like Dundee Hibs and their Edinburgh cousins are both hibsing it.
Hibs protecting a lead they don’t have
Is the ref playing for penalties?
WOOHOO
Shows how much I know.
