1945 kick off tomorrow.
Match is live on Premier Sports.
Celtic squad is distinctly threadbare.
I expect we’ll start with:
Barkas
Ralston* Bitton Welsh Taylor
Soro McGregor
Turnbull
Christie Ajeti Edouard
A really poor bench too with Abada and Shaw probably the pick of the bunch.
I fear Sisto will rip us apart tomorrow.
* Jesus wept.
Midlands are a good side. Celtic will be under the kosh
O’Connor must be really shit when he can’t get ahead of Ralston.
Didn’t der hun destroy them last year or was that the year before?

Think that was the year before. They were in CL group stages last season having beaten Slavia Praha comfortably in the qualifiers. As we know that was a very decent Slavia team.

I’ll tune in for the post match interview.
Is he back from Tranmere?

He is. Hes doing better than Luca Connell though who can’t seem to get near the team.
Griffiths back in the squad for tomorrow.
McGregor confirmed as club captain.

Don’t think Abada can play. We’re not adding anyone to the squad. Apparently he played as a “trialist” at the weekend because he doesn’t have a work permit yet.
I think we’ll batter them.
If we get past Midtjylland then hopefully Galatasaray can do PSV, otherwise we will have our holes opened by them.
I like how Ange has a low tolerance for bullshit and says what’s on his mind. He had a cut at the board for hesitating and not getting deals over the line at the pre-match press conference earlier.

I think it’s just refreshing to have a single minded manager who has very clear ideas on what he wants from his team.
It could be a disaster but it’s far better than having an arrogant, inept company man who can’t take the mildest form of criticism or accountability.

He also expressed disappointment at the general fitness levels of the squad. Deila had similar sentiments when he took over from Lennon.

Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy:
Is Dembele available?
I believe so. Not certain but I think he said before the Preston game that he’d be expected to train on Monday.
