Borussia Monchengladbach slipped to exactly mid-table in the Bundesliga on Saturday after giving 10-man Hamburg their second point of the season. On Wednesday we are still going to face a team vastly superior to anyone we will face in domestic football this season, but the visitors will not be as confident travelling to Glasgow as they were when the draw was made back in August.
Like Celtic, Borussia would not have fancied their chances of progressing to the knock out stage after their opening group game, but they now have to concern themselves more with becoming competitive against in Germany. That prospect isn’t about to get any easier, as after Celtic on Wednesday they travel to face Bayern Munich on Saturday.
All of this will feed into how Borussia approach the game. A point would allow them to take their head-to-head competition with Celtic back to Germany with hopes of finishing at least in the Europa League spot.
Celtic were not at their most fluid against Motherwell on Saturday (a significant sign when a 2-0 win can be described in that manner), but Brendan Rodgers will be clear in his game plan for Wednesday – press high, as we did against Manchester City last month.
It’s going to be a night which will require every ounce of strength from a packed Celtic Park. I’ve spoken to several Celtic managers and players about the impact the crowd can have in European nights. If we’re up for it, this one is there for us.
There’s a Family Fanzone at George Square from 13:00 on Wednesday afternoon. Players will appear at 14:00 with club legends there at 16:00 and activities throughout the afternoon. With the October break it’s an excellent opportunity to get into town and get into the mood early.

Cheers. It does sound like a tree dwelling rodent.
How the feck do you steal water. Firstly is it a matter of piping your facilities into your premises from the source of the theft or s it a matter of electronically fixing your meter usage to that of the source of the water? If it happened then the latter sounds more likely than digging up and piping across to source, But it does sound way too far fetched even for the monkeys.

Reading back and I saw ole Hot Smoked ask the question about when we though the CL fan impact started.
For me it wasn’t a CL game that kicked it off but a UEFA tie, I think in 2001 when we played Valencia. that night was the first night the new stadium rocked to tunes of the Euro Bhoys. The game ended with a penalty shoot out and the sounds rushing down the stands towards the field in waves will forever live in my memory. I think that night we all as fans realised the power of our support, and although it didn’t quite get us over the line that night it has on many occasion since. We won 1-0 on the night to draw game at 1-1 and went out on penaltes 4-5 wiht Henrick and Stan Petrov missing pens for us.

Wednesday possibly has anti climax written all over it, Manchester City maybe knew about ‘the stat’, and we need another full blown, backed up performance to get anything from a Bundesliga side, who like MC have no real European ‘pedigree’, but will be technically better than us.
How many sides have Celtic beaten who were technically better, quite a few from the list of Fortress Paradise?

You may well right. I remember just before the game started the fans were singing Walk On and Ayala (I think) stood just outside the centre circle looking around at the whole stadium. Awestruck.
How we didnae win in normal time or extra time is beyond me! Henke missed a sitter and skied a penalty in the shootout and big Joos missed his penalty twice!
Fantastic atmosphere but it couldn’t quite carry us through!

Scottish pub in Gdansk not showing the Scottish team tomorrow night.
Neither is Time Out, thanks for the link Mr. Z, apparently Valencia is the game of choice.
Thanks Mr. Z. I know you thought they would show us. I’ll maybe try to twist their arms tomorrow.
Good luck to your team.
Hail hail.
