    I've said it many times before in this thread and in the general CL thread, this won't be easy. I saw Celtic live last year when they played Helsingborg in the CL qualification and they weren't having a good game but still won (0-2). Then they beat Helsingborg at Celtic Park for the return leg, 2-0. Can't say I've watched them much more than that recently, just the Barcelona highlights. Their home record is impressive and their fans will lift them.

    I think they have a few great players. Hooper impressed me as well as Samaras (I know he's criminally underrated by some). Samaras might not be very quick or technical but he's very dangerous on set pieces so we better watch out there.

    This you on the right Jack? :D
    Could very well be me.

    I was talking with my mom the other day and she told me when I was 7 we were going to visit some friends and we have bought a present to take with us. (I can't remember what it was). Anyway, as soon as we arrived and we met the people, the first thing I said was "we got you this..." :lol2:

    This won't be easy but we should be fine. We hit our form in the right time and our players come back from injuries and suspensions. I think we're able to get a 1-goal win there but 1-1 result is more possible.

    Celtic fans should stop using their "we beat Barca" argument as it's very invalid to use it in this situation. First of all Barca is superior to us in attack but they're a lightweight team unlike us. We are more physical and strong in the midfield and better organized in defense. This mach won't like Celtic - Barca that's for sure.

    I believe our players are motivated enough for this one. We've missed CL for too long you can see the hunger for success is there. I hope none of our players get injured and we should be fine.

    Nah Samaras really is that bad.

    One thing I will say is that the Barca game was at least recent history, nothing annoys me more then fans citing games from 2+ years ago or there abouts as they couldn't be less relevant (and I'm not just speaking about our current opposition).

    Who's with me for a 2-0? they score an early goal from set pieces, we dominate the game wasting tons of chances, they hit on the break late in the game another goal. I can really see this happening.

    Tomorrow he will be good.
    Let's hope not.

    I think our back 3 are perfectly suited to deal with him. It's Hooper I'm more worried about as far as their attack is concerned. And their midfield hasn't faced anybody quite like Vidal yet so I think the arguments of Wanyama taking over the game are unfounded.
