I wouldn't change a thing. I think that's the strongest team we can put out. It'll also go toe to toe with the way Zenit set up. Jozo had a poor game against Partick, but he needs to go out and atone himself. He, like the rest of the team need to be made damn well aware that Europe is our frontier and they need to be able to stand up and be counted. I'd play Musonda also, that's why he came in and he'll be afforded a bit more time hopefully on this stage. Forrest will be kept busy with Criscito so Musonda could well end up being a bit of an outlet. I'd perhaps just ask a bit more discipline in Ncham's role, we'll need to keep an eye on Korkorin and Paredes down the middle linking up. We need to try and be a little bit more direct in their half whenever we think we can see half an opening, it's on our patch, I want to see us go for the jugular. Oh and bhoys don't make stupid backpasses.

It time Brendan shows he isn't blind to our defensive frailties and makes us hard to beat first, then we try and nick something. For me brown and nitcham don't protect a back four against good teams so pack out the defence and take a goalless draw at worst.

DeVries has to start no other option back four of Lustig KT Ajer and Jozo. Jozo hasn't become a donkey overnight and there's no way you can throw young Hendry in with Ajer. Far too inexperienced. Brown Ntcham and Forrest are stick ons. Sinclair on the left but he must turn up on Thursday. Not suggesting the lads not trying but there's others coming back from injury to take his place. Hopefully SS turns it on. I would have McGregor in front of the midfield for his work rate alone.

Games probably too soon for Stuart Armstrong and maybe not suited either for Musondas flashy tricks. Moussa or Edourd. probably just Moussa. Remember lads there will be a decent bench for back up and I think I read somewhere that a draw home or away earns enough points for us to be seeded at some stage in the qualifying rounds. Praying for a home no goals against win but a nil nil wouldn't be a disaster bhoys. Just my humble opinion ☘.

Looking at those line ups I still think we need more dig in midfield alongside Brown and Ntcham.

1st half v hearts was best we’ve been we wer urgent going forward and urgent in getting the ball back. To stand any chance if progression we need to win this leg imo. I can understand people asking to shut up shop and nick something not for me get out there play your best and have a go.
