Hedman, Mjallby, Valgaeren, Balde, Thompson, Healy, Lambert, Petrov, Agathe, Hartson and Sutton should be the fully fit first team in my opinion. I know you guys love Larsson and all that but I would honestly consider Hartson even for the short term scottish games but Larsson in the more important games. Larsson has put a date on the end of his celtic career as well, just like Sir Awex, Walter for example, also a replacement for Martin O'Neill and Stillian Petrov must appear up soon.

celtic do play some awful football btw, but sadly it works in Scotland, you could argue that away from home in europe it doesnt work, hence your forthcoming major problem. Although its a great story when crazy gangess team like Wimbeldon and Leicester achieve things as underdogs its hardly inspiring football and is definately not how the game should be played. Scoring goals from set pieces as well you could argue about the manner that these free kicks are won as well but that isnt just a celtic problem and they arent on the Brazilian diving scale.

Rovers:

Rovers have their big guns healthy with Yorke and Cole starting up front. Duff fit as well. The three have only started three games together all season. Flitcroft had some sort of accident and hurt his ankle, out. Taylor is highly doubtful.

Celtic:
Petrov and Lambert are both ready to play. Speculation that MO'N will start Hartson as an attacking midfielder (which he should have been doing all along IMHO).

We ripped the pish out of them in that second half!

Last season, the victory in Amsterdam set Celtic up for a good season (Scottish and League Cups excepted). Hopefully their display in Blackburn last night (Thursday) will be the springboard for a great time this season.
The team's confidence must be high now after such a fine display. I think O'Neill has finally worked out how to play Celtic in Europe. Lets hope so.

And so to Celta Vigo - can anyone recommend a good pub over there, I certainly wouldnt want to see the match against the (current) 4th best team in La Liga without a drink!!!

How does that song go again?:-
"Mhen against boys, Mhen against boys, hello, hello...."

Hail Hail.
