They aren't that bad (this is actually shaping up to be quite a good Celtic team), but they aren't close to Arsenal's level.

They also lack the ability to lock a game down, they will play with a lot of width and try and get the wingers one-on-one with your fullbacks.

Their CBs are slow, their fullbacks are mediocre and they are vulnerable at set pieces.

McGeady still lacks end product and Sagna and Clichy are both miles better than anything he faces in the SPL.

McGeady even struggles to make an impact when Aberdeen face up to him properly.

And Shaun Maloney is an excellent set piece taker. He isn't as good as Nakamura at shooting, but he is very good at putting the ball into dangerous areas.
Absolutely, you've probably seen Celtic play far more often than me anyways, btw Sanga will miss the game. Gibbs is a left back, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Gallas at right-back, and then Djourou slotting in the middle.

Thanks Aushim. It's been a while since me and you talked upcoming talents from the Ligue :)
Indeed, far far too long! Can't wait for the new season should be good! Btw, I immediately thought of you reaction when Gomis signed for Lyon we've been discussing him for ages now :D

Sagna I believe from tele, I think Chichy should be playing.

I don't know much about Sporting at all but I imagine La Viola should beat them.
This game will definately be tough for Fiorentina.

I've only seen Mowbray's Celtic once, so I don't know much more than everyone else.

I don't like Celtic, but I'd rather see them progress through. That way, Arsenal can focus on the Prem.
I don't like Celtic, but...nope, no 'but' there; I just plain dislike them.
