Celtic XI v Maribor: Gordon; Lustig, Denayer, van Dijk, Izaguirre; McGregor, Mulgrew, Kayal, Johansen, Berget; Stokes.
Subs: Zaluska, Ambrose, Bitton, Commons, Pukki, Griffiths, Henderson
No commons??
As strong a team as we have, like commons but a bit slow for Europe, glad bitons out even slower than commons,
Kayal and mulgrew out, the rest is fine
Would always have commons in this celtic squad starting 11. This is our player of the year, top goal scorer and we've got him on the bench.
Mulgrew I hope to god I am wrong but how many mistakes is he going to make tonight? and I hope none are costly like the other games
Deila has impressed me even more by dropping commons for this game! Lennon would never make such a bold decision RD has mucho grande cahones and I like it!
Sos bhoy totally agree! And Garyc you are correct commons was a class ahead of anyone in our team last season (bar maybe VVD) but he has been turgid this season, I'm a fan but has looked lazy, uninterested and not fired up (even in pre season) think the tactics tonight were correct with the last Euro outing when we went gunho still in the back of DLs mind. Don't know if it was just me but that's the best I've seen Kayal play in quite some time
Its not that he's a bad player but he isn't the best defensively and we needed the extra man last night! I like the boldness maybe the subs could have been a bit earlier because stokes was cream crackered after 60 mins of tireless running.
