With Jozo out tomorrow night, I would love for gamboa to be given the nod at right back and have lusting in the center along side boyata! The thought of bitton at the heart of the defense at the alliance gives me the fear! But if that's what Rodgers thinks best who am I to argue in Brendan we trust 🍀.

17 Oct 2017 19:44:31
Gomboa played well at the weekend. He'd be my shout too.

17 Oct 2017 20:41:02
Gamboa gives me the fear can't defend and think young ralstons injured he'd have been my shout.

17 Oct 2017 20:53:37
Gamboa was decent on Saturday and has the pace to get us up the park and take the pressure off a little bit tomorrow which would be a big help. Bitton at CB is a no no.

17 Oct 2017 21:31:59
What about Ajer?

17 Oct 2017 22:06:47
Ajer would be my shout aindoh! Played well whenever called upon apart from Astanta away when he was thrown in beside Biton which was unfair on the lad imo.

17 Oct 2017 22:13:22
Aye, Ajer would be a fair call too. Seems to have have a big international game, and I know the other weggies love him so.

17 Oct 2017 23:02:09
Love the fact he dislocated his shoulder whilst playing for Norway U21s last week. Went over to the sidelines had the thing popped back in. Then got on with the rest of the game. Think with him and Boyata at the back you have 2 CBs very comfortable with the ball at their feet but will miss Simonovics aggression and the fact he is one of these players that always seem to be in the right place. Wee Tierney is going to have his work cut out against Robben but he would be my 1st choice to do so. I'll be ecstatic with a draw but still happy with a good performance regardless of result.

18 Oct 2017 07:39:05
Is big Eric not back training / fit? Was a good solid defender before Brendan arrived imo. Can't understand why he went down hill so quick .

18 Oct 2017 07:56:42
Erik would need games before throwing him into this.

18 Oct 2017 08:17:57
Delbhoy seems the gaffer thinks his lack of pace is a big issue.

18 Oct 2017 13:17:58
I'd go for ajer or lustig. I agree Erik won't be match sharp, his pace is an issue and I've even seen him struggle in the air against tall players. I don't think his heart is in it anymore. We have blocked him moving for a few windows now.

Absolute tragic for the family of Terry Butcher. Thoughts and prates to all concerned.

On a separate point who is hitting the dislike button. Have a look at yourself sir rest your moral coinceince.

17 Oct 2017 20:26:47
I have just heard about this, it must be a terrible time for Terry Butcher and his family.
I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

17 Oct 2017 04:55:58
That's absolutely tragic - and Peterbhoy, you're absolutely right - how could anyone dislike your sentiments? Sick people.
Thoughts and prayers with the Butcher family and friends.

17 Oct 2017 16:40:19
Can I express my heartfelt condolences to Terry Butcher and his family at this tragic time RIP for the loss of his son.

17 Oct 2017 17:40:45
Handn't heard about this, I'll echo that. Must be horrific, my thoughts are with the big man too.

17 Oct 2017 18:20:57
I heard TB speaking last year about his wife asking him what he was buying into at Ibrox with all the sectarian stuff. He said it stopped him and made him think. A good guy for me that gave all for club and country and he will be in my prayers tonight as will his wife and his son. Sorry to hear the news Terry and may your son rest in peace. I'm sure the Celtic family will echoe my condolences. ☘️.

17 Oct 2017 18:43:16
Just heard the news myself! Puts football into perspective really! No matter what team uve played for for a father to lose his son in these tragic circumstances is heartbreaking! Condolences to the whole family.

17 Oct 2017 18:49:32
What kind of tool gives a feckn thumbs down at least have the balls to come on and make your point. ☘️.

17 Oct 2017 21:31:18
Jfp scumbags my friend pure and simple thought and prayers to the butcher family hh.

17 Oct 2017 21:34:40
thoughts a prayers with him too

I just don't get the thumbs downers.


But they are just mugs, I posted official undeniable stats once and someone disagreed - go figure.

17 Oct 2017 21:39:22
Terry Butcher has my sympathies,

Hi EDs any squad news hearing Lustig may not make it anything use have heard on that or anyother news?

{Ed007's Note - Lustig was rested on Saturday after feeling a tweak in his calf when he came back from international duty and it was decided not to risk him against Dundee. As far as I know he is still in contention to start tomorrow night.}

17 Oct 2017 13:34:40
Cool any rumbles as to what we will do morra in terms of team same as last away game looks good for me what do u think or like to see ED?

{Ed007's Note -

--------------------Gordon-----------------
-Lustig --Simunovic---Boyata----Tierney---
--------------Brown-----Ntcham----
-Robert------------Rogic--------Sinclair-----
-------------------Griffiths-----------

Or maybe Rodgers will put Bitton sitting in front of the defence in a 4-3-3

--------------------Gordon-----------------
-Lustig --Simunovic---Boyata----Tierney---
----------Brown---Bitton-----Ntcham----
--Roberts--------Griffiths-------Sinclair----

I wasn't aware that Broony was in contention - that was a pleasant surprise! Not expecting too much on Wednesday, as I don't remember us many German opponent in Europe, so any kind of result would be amazing.
However, would have preferred the Sunday cup semi final instead of Saturday lunch time - just to give us more recovery time - but there you go.

{Ed007's Note - Brown has trained every day since he returned and today took part in a training session at Celtic Park, I'll be really surprised if he doesn't start tomorrow night.}

17 Oct 2017 14:45:01
I'd prefer the 4-5-1. I think they always seem more comfortable in that set up.

17 Oct 2017 14:52:47
Ad go with that ed but armstrong for ntcham ir he might stick bitton behind the midfield 2 and leave rogic out.

17 Oct 2017 15:48:20
Wouldn't play Nctham, but apart from that swap with Armstrong, I think the best team picks itself.

17 Oct 2017 16:59:11
I would play Armstrong if he is fully fit, rather than Ntcham.

17 Oct 2017 18:18:21
Fancy forrest for a starting role tomorrow nite: he's not had much of a look in lately it seems. Big fan of Ntcham, but I think I could be persuaded that Armstrong might be a better pick right now. I hope and pray Ed's hunch about Biton is wide of the mark: it would make for a more defensive lineup than we've fielded recently for sure!

17 Oct 2017 11:38:24
Its CL all the way the next 2 days and the scottish rags bereft of anything to write about sevco are going on about the league cup semi that's no till sunday if only they were in Europe. there's always corrie HH.

17 Oct 2017 12:04:59
'They are more to be pitied than scolded'; these bitter wee jealous clowns, that are stuck between defiant, delusional denial and stark glorious green and white reality.

17 Oct 2017 13:40:59
Mally : what did Corrie do to deserve being in the same sentence as Sevco . 😉😉.

17 Oct 2017 14:50:02
To be fair pete its nearly as bad as sevco.

17 Oct 2017 07:40:23
Hi lads when is champioms league game on so i csn cheer on scottish team against germans.

17 Oct 2017 08:19:24

17 Oct 2017 13:43:36
