Heading away from home in Europe, to a team who looked pretty decent at Celtic Park, when we’ve already qualified and have left players at home to train, or avoid suspension, would under many circumstances be a toxic portent for Celtic.
We seldom travel well in group stage competition, nor when there is little at stake, but if we’ve learned anything about Ronny Deila it’s that he will let those who do play know what is expected of them.
Stefan Scepovic or Leigh Griffiths have a point to prove? A field in Zagreb will be available to them. Whoever plays, you can guarantee no one will ‘do a Regi’. Kids can ask their mum or dad about that one.
No suspensions, no injuries, please, Celtic.

Do the Celts have a European game tonight?
I logged on to BBC Sport > scottish Football site and found the three big/only titles to be:
1 -McCoist hits back over Telfer fee
2 – Title challenge a big ask – Jackie McNamara
3 – Awardee Robbie Neilson eyes main prize

That’s two lower league “topics”, one premier and NO EUROPEAN COVERAGE.
We are still in the ice ages as far as the media in Sottish Football are concerned, only worse, cos they didnae have fitba in the ice age.
And you pay for the BBC (not me cos I live abroad…)?

Hope you are keeping warm buddy :-)
I ordered mine 23/11 from Lulu.com who are handling the sale. Arrived within the week.
Already this ‘cold snap’ has me thinking about a warmer climate , maybe early Spring time ?
Hope all is well. HH

You might be right…
I remember them being a useful side at Celtic Park… we were fortunate to win.
That said, Salzburg have shown, that Zagreb cant handle a high tempo, pressing game. They folded twice against Salzburg.
Surely if Ronny can get Celtic playing like they did in the first half hour against Motherwell, then we can potentially have the same impact.
wishful thinking maybe… its down to the players chosen, to replicate that first half versus motherwell. One of the reasons why Commons is an outcast this season, is his inability to perform high tempo pressing, defensive work

Thanks for your reply about Charlie Miller in Canada. He’s a wee ned is Charlie in the same class as Durranty and the Ferguson brothers. Oh, and how could I forget about Iain Ferguson?
Dinamo Zagreb are a better side than their results show, the Celtic selection is too attack minded.

Thanks i will get Mrs ZMB onto it immediately.
It was 20 degrees on Sunday when we left Malta and when we landed in Edinburgh what?.
Welcome anytime mate.You have had a wee taster now.HH
Well, let’s see how “European” Ronny can get his team to play this evening.
That is his test because that is what he is aiming for. Can they press for long enough to make it happen?
