what kind of travel/visa issues were they experiencing?
Cost and bureaucracy issues mainly, pal.
van Dijk starts alongside Mouyokolo for the first time having come through the last 20 minutes in Aberdeen at the weekend. Mulgrew is pushed into wide midfield again with Commons playing off Samaras. Stokes and Balde are on the bench, along with Ambrose.
Celtic:
Forster;
Lustig, Mouyokolo, van Dijk, Izaguirre;
Forrest, Brown, Ledley, Mulgrew;
Commons;
Samaras.
Subs: Zaluska, Balde, Kayal, Stokes, Rogic, Ambrose, Matthews.
Cracking atmosphere in @the51bar. 
Fast start by Celtic. van Dijk close with 2 headers from corners and another scramble in the box.
And Celtic are one down. :rolleyes:
Long throws are creating havoc in the Celtic box. Forster should have collected that ball
Rubbish by Forster throughout that passage of play.
Stunning effort from Commons off the crossbar.
Commons hits the angle of post and crossbar from 30 yards. Close to going over the line but I don’t think it did.
Who’s the cunt doing co commentary on ITV4 ?
Clarke Carlisle I think. Looking back on that goal it was totally Forster’s fault

And who may I ask is Clarke Carlisle ?
Used to play in the lower leagues in England up until a year or two ago. Chairman of the players union in England or something like that.
Pretty frustrating. Should have taken at least one of the chances we created and a self-inflicted concession right from Forster’s initial kicking error to failing to deal with the long throw. We really should be scoring against these but we look a bit uncertain and disjointed - we need to make sure we come away with nothing worse than a 1-0 defeat. It’s quite strange - it seems a bit like Artmedia or something.
Brutal goal to concede. Mulgrew sucked towards the ball, Ledley loses his runner and Forster too afraid to leave his line.
Doing ok otherwise. Commons finding space and we look good on set pieces. Need to press better collectively to deny them simple possession because we’ve won the ball in their half when we’ve applied decent pressure.

I would almost solely blame Forster for that goal. When a ball goes into the 6 yard box it should be the keepers every time. Ledley seemed to be waiting for Forster to collect it aswell.
This is going very badly
Lennon is a spastic and a coward and he’s getting his just deserts for a cowardly and negative selection.
