Celtic v Copenhagen

Morning troops.

What a night in store, not just for Celtic but for Scottish football. The chance to have 2 teams in the last 16 of the EL is extraordinary given where both teams started in June 2019.

Tonight should be absolutely bouncing, looks like it should be a decent night weather wise so we should be in for a cracker.

Copenhagen aren't a great side but they will still get chances, we need to ensure that is kept to a minimal and we defend well as a team for the 90 minutes, a clean sheet and we are through.

Having said that, we need to come out the traps all guns blazing tonight, they couldn't handle our intensity and the speed of our play in the first half last week, we need to try blow them away in the first half then manage the game out in the 2nd.

We will be without Ntcham tonight and i think that's a big blow personally but Rogic will come in and if the big man is at it then he'll be an asset.

The big question is will he go with the 3-5-2 or will he go 4-2-3-1? I'd prefer we went for it with the two strikers and go with this:

Forster

Jozo
Julien
Ajer

Forrest
Brown
McGregor
Rogic
Taylor

Edouard
Griffiths

He does have options to go the other way though and Elyounoussi could be a big player tonight if we go for the 4-2-3-1.

Qualify tonight and the feel good factor continues into Sunday but if we go out tonight then it will add a wee bit more pressure onto the weekend.
