Benfica

Who has the lowdown on them then??? This will be the 3rd time i have seen them at Parkhead and have happy memories of Stephen Pearson scoring against them in 2006.

Is Luisaoi suspended?? Who is decent for them?? How are they playing??

Iv heard the club are in hefty debt even after bringing in £49m in the last transfer window.

No Luisao for Benfica tomorrow. Good news for Celtic.

True that we have lost Javi García and Witsel recently and are without right-back Maxi Pereira and just this afternoon Luisão's 2-month suspension was extended to include European games so he is out as well.

The above means three of our first choice captains (as Aimar never plays 90 minutes) have either been sold or not playing.

Pablo Aimar will start tomorrow (barring any last minute injuries...) and likely to captain as well.

Lima was called to be in the press conference alongside our manager so it looks like he could be starting, I hope not as Rodrigo and Cardozo are our main strikers upfront.

Salvio is one of our best players, bought him this summer for €12m (club record) and will be one of the main attacking threats.

We will need Garay to be the "Luisão" of our defence as that area is very weak as it stands.
