Surprised at Elyunoussi’s inclusion. At Hamilton he looked as if he was towing a caravan after about 35 minuted.
Good player – excellent ball for the goal in that game – but thought he looked at pre-season fitness levels, and very understandably given his lack of matches.
So, would have preferred N’cham from the start for this game. However Neil sees them in training, so he’ll know best.
Other than that minor concern, that’s the team I’d have went with.
That said, I suppose if N’cham was playing it would have meant Christie going to the wing, and you loose a wee bit from him out there.
Pre-match nerves.

Come on you bhoys in green
Today’s confirmed starting line up v Rennes ……
Forster; ElHamed, Ajer, Jullien, Bolingoli ; Brown, McGregor; Forrest, Christie, Elyounoussi , Edouard
Subs: Gordon Bauer Hayes Ntcham Rogic Bayo Morgan

You mention, you are not sure about the balance of the team. Can you elaborate .
Because by n large it is the same shape / balance we have come to expect from Celtic for the last 3 , 4 seasons.
4-2-3-1 Christie in 10 role. The alternative to him would be Rogic.
Elyunoussi wide left… The alternative to that selection, historically would be a Sinclair, or M.Johnston
But point being, team shape stays as is.
As it always is.
What’s the balance issue you speak of ?
COYBIG, let’s do it Celtic. Time to produce a good away result and cement the feel good factor.

I like that selection.
In the unlikely event either Calmac or Corpus don`t shine, we could give Ntcham a decent run out.
Cheerio for now. Couch to pull out from wall. Seriously, I am quite confident we will either win or draw this evening.
I’ll stick my neck on the line and go for 1 each draw tonight.
And to be fair, would be delighted with that.

Funny you should say that Mrs Gene has just noticed I’ve adjusted the sofa – I take it Celtic are playing she said.
😱
I am always worried when Celtic play away in Europe and, to be fair, there is good cause for worry.
Time to prove that Rosenborg away was not a one-off.
The first European match I took Olivia too was versus Rennes a few years back.
We were gifted the tickets by the blessed SANNAH BHOY.
Think we won 3-1 with Stokes getting a goal.
BJMAC was at that game too!
Hope you are both well!
I expect Rennes to be better than Cluj.
But I expect Celtic to be better than when we played Cluj.
So, anything but a defeat would be good, very good.
Plus we are due to spring a surprise in Europe, so why not tonight?
C’MON THE CELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Jullien says we are going all the way to the final.
That’s good enough for me.
Gene- I wouldn’t put anything past these dogs….
Let’s go to work Celtic
A hard task tonight
Do your best “Celtic

Would have preferred Ntcham as midfield insurance, but NFL doing a Rodgers.

Stateside bhoys – game being show on Bleacher Report for one off charge of $2.99

Woodnay let Julien near a microphone.
Obviously fancies himself, hope he plays well, a huv ma doubts.
Mon the hoops
C’mon the HOOPs.
Cheers Jobo, got it
Delighted to see that we are wearing the Hoops. Enjoy, everyone, and keep a watch out for those top 3 players….
I’ll be watching the David Cameron documentary later though! Great man.
For those in doubt there is a tad sarcasm in my last comment.
Squeaky bum time. Come on Celtic put on a show.
COYBIG
Nervy start
Stadium not full but crowd making themselves heard
losing too much ball in midfield. Need to cut that out.
So far they are not intimidating or dominating us.
Celtic fk 35 yards out
wastefull free kick
Comes to nothing
Some very strange (homer) decisions from the referee. Jamesy looking up for it.
Is this a Lanarkshire Ref or just a homer?
Half chance for Odsonne, over
