I can't wait till this international break is over. We have 3 games at home and Ross County away before the cup final. Out of the 3 home games Rennes will be the toughest 4 wins should set us up nicely for the final. With Elhamed being out injured do yous think young Frimpong will be used for all of the upcoming games before Bauer? I hope Frimpong plays in the final as hIm and Forrest will run their static defence ragged.
{Ed007's Note - With Rennes having no chance of qualifying from the EL I'll be surprised if they put a full strength team out for the game and they have a big league game against St Etienne on the Sunday.}

That's good to hear Ed. So there's a good chance of us going unbeaten in our Europa League group. After the Cluj Champions league disaster I would never have expected us to cruise through to the last 32.

The Rennes manager has said he is going to use the game against Celtic to play some of his young players to give them a taste of European football and to play in a great stadium.

Yes guys but imagine the disappointment if Rennes kids beat us at Celtic Park so we have to play a strong team as a win probably wins us the group and then play our kids against Cluj to give senior players a break in our tough december schedule.

There's money to be made with another 2 wins so I can't see Pedro being to happy if we play the kids Tim.

Is there not some rule that says we have to play our strongest team if there's something at stake in another game. Can Lazio still qualify if they beat Cluj by more than they list to them and we beat cluj?

Dont underestimate your opponents. Big lesson to learn if you do.

If there's a chance of Lazio getting through I hope we settle for a draw with Cluj and put them out. A Cluj win wold also knock them out.
