This afternoon’s friendly against Tottenham Hotspur gives Ronny Deila a dilemma. Last weekend he played a second string against St Pauli, but with things going so wrong in Warsaw on Wednesday, the pressure is on to pull a game plan together which will work at Murrayfield.
Our other concern is that the squad, without Ambrose, Brown and Forrest, is already looking threadbare. We simply can’t afford an injury to afflict Commons, Griffiths, Stokes, Johansen, van Dijk, Matthews, Lustig or Izaguirre.
The suggestion was put to me this week that we should play Lustig with van Dijk in central defence on Wednesday. Lustig can play there, but would Ronny trust them on such an important occasion without a warm-up game?
If I was taking a risk with first-team players this afternoon it would be to pair these two. If we’re going to get the required result on Wednesday the most important area of the team to get right is the defence.

Closing ceremony was a bit so:so, not a patch on the Opening ceremony but then it had different functions to perform. Never been a fan of Kylie, a manufactured pop act and switched over when she was on. Thought we might have involved the crowd more with a sing song of 500 miles or Loch Lomond.
Still, well done Glasgow!
Do we have to send Gold Coast Tom back as part of the CG handover?
An Tearmann,
seen a post earlier from you about betting Celtic to qualify,you can get about 4/1,
but canny double it with qualifying for the group stages
DD,
Ye’ll laugh at this wan.
I met a young, Oriental looking young lad in Letterkenny today.
Massive big dug wae him.
He had a Scouse accent..he wis fae Dalmuir for feck sake..
Oh how I laughed.
TCR,
not heard from him lately either,
heard he was up singing My Way at the Radnor swansong,
quite sure he would be understated as ever

Andy A and Donny C (still in the Crew) were asking for you. I am going to pile on us qualifying on Wed. I got a good feeling bro.

Cheers for checkin that out for me.i put it out there as the blog resembled auditions for jonny the painter on the fast show :-)
I would just like to see us pressure their defence and keeper who looked a bit wobbly

Best odds at the minute re 4/1 with Laddies,might get better once all the others price it up

good feeling about Wednesday! Great, just hope the players are fighting mad at last week.
A goal in the first half gives us a chance, here’s hoping.
Good night and God bless all Tims.

I know him if it was an Irish Setter dug. Yan’s Garden owner?
An Tearmann,
we need to be fast out the blocks and get an early goal,
think they would be rattled if they conceded in the first 20 mins
and it will get the crowd behind us right away
Gordy,
Stephen eh?
Nutjob.
I can just imagine.
dd,
Next time I’m over Mountblow and Horsey.
Ye can take that tae a BIG bank pal..;-)
duntocher is better than clydebank.
duntocher has been there for a thousand years and the antonine football team played on goldenhill all them years ago.
clydebank was a glasgow overspill in the 1920s.
saint stivs port glasgow historical society.
god bless moravcik67.

1-0 half time. 3-0 full time. My dream and my small bet. A much bigger stake on us qualifying.
TCR,
You can count me in for a session with you and DD next time you are over,
might even drag you up to the Hibs club for a couple
Gordy,
No sweat pal.
Anywhere there’s a swally going I’ll no be far away.

I hope there are a lot of angry players after last weeks performance.i know I would be pissed at that defeat if i played,young calum apart, anything that did go wrong went wrong,both individually and as a unit. So if I were a player there is a performance to make.i hope this comes on wednesday as a team

Keep the drink flowing lads.
Adam O’Donnell is a brilliant name for an Irish Setter dug. Like my faither in laws dug Sean Francis Patrick who was trained to attack and bite the Scotstoun Orange Walk. SFP a true fenian dug legend! :)
TCR
would love to get back over to Derry,i have a brilliant time everytime I get there
unfortunately wont be this side of Christmas,but I know you will be my first contact if I get something arranged
Time for my cot muckers,take care and God bless you all

I know for a fact that Ronny and Johnny have been rattling a few nuts these last five days. Optimistic of a major reverse in this tie.
I reckon the Celtic players read these blogs, they do indeed have time to spare.
I’m hoping we can get that 5-0 win that will emulate SL, I think it is possible, I’d say 40/60 at the moment as Legia are not a very good team, IMO.
40000 to get the Celts through, like back in the day.
Petec
You coming through to Reekie bro?
Sleep well Gordy..;-)

The Legia players celebrating like they had won the tie, will hopefully, fire up the Bhoys.

Petec,
Hope you are right but I don’t see it, our team at the moment is just not good enough.
I’m being serious, I’d actually need 2 seats, one for my Son.
