2-2 draw in Slovenia tonight against Celje. Great spirit from Brendan Rodgers’ men to recover from being 2 down.
Ciftci and Rogic got the goals:

The formation was 4-3-3 with two different teams played in the two halves. Ajer was a centre back.

Was O’Connell not on loan with Cork?
CCCHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIEeeeeeeeeeeee
He was until he got injured then he got sent back/recalled back for treatment.
What is the story with Mulgrew? Did he sign a new deal?
Not yet anyway.
Not bothered with him.
See ya.
Except we only have Ambrose and Sviatchenko available for our CL qualifiers - not counting Ajer (who is mainly a midfielder and played as a striker in Norway last season) or O’Connell.
We’ll sign a defender I would say within the next few weeks, take our chances for the minute.
Kolo Touré is linked repeatedly. I think we still need cover anyway. Mulgrew isn’t the worst defender in the world if he’s beside someone decent and never gets played in midfield. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to keep him but he’s ok for squad cover.
What’s the story with Simunovic?
Out until Septemberish I think.
Had surgery I think.
We have too much squad filler and that’s exactly what Mulgrew is.
We will have Boyata and Simunovic back soon so no real need to keep Mulgrew.
Griffiths has us 1 up against Olimpia Ljublijana
Jerseys look shit this year.
A 2-1 win over Wolfsburg today. Goals from McGregor and Christie.
Seemed to be a decent enough performance.
