Nomme Kalju are 20 games into the Estonian league campaign, which they were in contention to retain until recently. Their unexpected win in Macedonia in the last round of Champions League qualification was the only victory in their last five outings, a run of results which sees them sitting 12 points off the pace domestically.
One of the remarkable aspects of their results is their inability to win or lose games convincingly. In the last three months, 18 or their 19 games have been settled by a single goal, or drawn. Their three cup games in that period all went to extra time.
The overwhelming takeaway from reading their form is that this team are involved in tight battles for 90 minutes in virtually every game. Even the last game they lost by more than a single goal, a 0-3 defeat, was level on 81 minutes.
I expect Celtic to get the better of proceedings tonight, but we need to finish the game strongly. Nomme will be fitter than we are and used to playing to the final whistle.

Teams out
Two up front
Been a while since I’ve travelled to a game being unsure of the starting formation. Could be 5-3-2, 4-3-3 or 4-4-2. A little bit of added excitement.
Also been a while since I’ve travelled to a game in shorts and a Sellik Tap!
Plenty of singing at the Irl-England cricket. Plenty of stout flowing at Lords.
‘Kyle Lafferty has left Rangers after the remaining year of his contract was cancelled by mutual consent, the club have confirmed.’
Love it : by mutual consent ~ fugg me we’re skint if we can’t afford this spawny bassa
It was fairly widely accepted under Brendan Rodger’s tenure that Odsonne and Griff could not play well together. It was a partnership that didn’t seem to work. It’ll be interesting to see if it pans out tonight.
