30 degrees Celsius at 1am this morning
Pitch has been given the go ahead and Celtic have been granted access to train on it tonight despite contrary reports in the daily record this morning. Apparently the pitch will be rock solid and bumpy and there isn't much that can be done about it, despite it being watered constantly. This will affect both teams though as they played really good football on the deck last week.
Not sure what measures can be taken for the heat but wouldn't be surprised if there was a sanctioned water break for both teams halfway through each half.
Massive game tomorrow, nerves kicking in already.

I meant in Europe*
I agree about the Visa issue though, for sure. There's some massive construction work going on atm, they're building an Island resort, it's a massive project. I expect that to attract lots of people from around the world.

Fooking nightmare game for us tomorrow.
Bumpy pitch, 30 degree heat. Half decent opposition used to playing in those temperatures.
Consensus from most of us is we'll need a goal to go through. The earlier the better but if we don't get an early goal no need to panic.
Play off round ( if we get through) can't be more difficult than this even though opposition will be better.
