With you on this. The difference in attiude between domestic and European games is often staggering. Maybe we should tell them its Sporting Lisbon.

90/1 is a poor price for that bet, 4-2 is a bet I do regularly in these games so I think I'll be joining you on it, good luck 👍

ye get what your saying but can see this being really open and a few goals coming from counter attacks, just think as we really need to win we will, same as they needed to last time out so I'll take the £900 thankyou very much lol.

Hopefully it comes in bud, to be honest any win will do.

10 of the 11 picks itself barring any injuries for me with McGregor, Tav, Goldson, Helander (despite the poor form since coming back) Bassey, Jack, Lundstram, Kent, Ramsey & Morelos. Obviously there is doubts about the latter two physically.

The only debate for me is Kamara or Aribo which I suppose is weird. Either give a bit of flexibility with the other ten just in different ways.

Lundstram can drop in and make it a 3 which is extremely important against them as we seen the massive gaps left at parkhead in that area. Jack obviously would be left overun but Ramsey or Kamara could easily step in place of Lundstram giving us strength in numbers.

The worry always is with Aribo is going backwards but we seen how Bodo ripped their left side apart there's every reason play him off the right, along with Tav, just for that. If he plays in the middle then just dont bother playing him.

[SIRB_72 4,085]

If we play half as well as we did against Dormund in both ties but show the same application and desire we will win. No doubt about it.

Seriously though mate, I am confident we will win this one 3-2.

Come Sunday I’ll have us rattling them by 4 but this one’s fucking massive!

really hope Gio doesn’t shit the bed. 

Same tbh. If you put a gun to my head and told me to pick a result I'd take them to win  sadly. 

I usually dread and look forward to Old Firms in equal measure; I'm just dreading this one.

[andyhrfc 2,242]

Has to be the same approach that we have on European nights. And that means, management, players and crowd. Get it right and we will win.

Ye mate, along the same lines with Aribo starting.  4-4-1-1 with Jack and Lundstrum holding / breaking up play / bit of muscle in there and Aribo ad Ramsey being creative, pass to Kent to play in behind, running at them and wee Alfredo to fckn bury them

cannot be overstated how important the fans are - get right behind the boys and push them on.

They reckon current form goes out the window when an OF game is played. That is why odd makers will give you the lowest odds for a draw. The games are unpredictable.

So when we have one draw and six defeats in Collum's last seven OF games it sounds a little dubious.

Personally, I think there are worse referees than him but I would be hugely surprised if the referee is not a huge talking point after the game.

Let's hope not.

[The true baller 972]

Still believe when both teams are at their best we are by far the better team. The Tims at their best aren't beating the teams we have like Dortmund. They may score a few, but they are definitely conceding more than we did and losing the tie.  we'll win but won't be too much in it on the day.

 

[El-Hadji Spit RFC 733]

Big point to prove, given a proper seein to in last OF… hate to admit it but I’m nervous, just hope the players are not!  No makeshift defence!

The ref will only be a talking point if we win. We also wont start to hear about the poor refereeing that cost them until about Tuesday. Always the same.

Can't wait for the game. Will be at a pub here in Slovakia with the Blond girl that some of you may have met in Vienna.

At least it ain't Clancy. Pick any ref and they'll be shite, just what level of shite really.

Probably us under Murty at Parkhead about 4 and a bit years ago. 

Doesn't happen too often, mind you.
