Barcelona v Celtic - 13/09/16

Righto, onto the next game and it's back to the Champions League group stages

No doubt the result from the weekend will be savoured a-plenty until the next OF game, but I suspect Rodgers will have everyone fully focused on the task at hand tomorrow.

While it was a brilliant weekend for us, in contrast Barca criminally dropped 3 vital points at home, losing 2-1 to Alaves at the weekend. Many said they fielded a weakened team, and whilst Messi, Iniesta, and Suarez came off the bench, their starting 11 for the day was:

Cillessen

Vidal
Mascherano
Mathieu
Digne

Rakitic
Busquets
D. Suarez

Turan
Alcacer
Neymar

Now with a starting 11 like that, Barca expect to win games at home against better sides than Alaves, so I can only hope that the defeat dents their confidence a little bit rather than annoy them to hand out another 6-1 defeat on us

I expect a good performance, in all honesty a defeat is the likeliest outcome and given our usual horrific away record it wouldn't be a surprise.

I'm optimistic and hoping we can grind a point out of the game, huge test for our defence and midfield and we need everyone to be on form. Brown has declared himself fit but Griff still out, so Moussa to start up front again.

Expect our team to be exactly as it was at the weekend

De Vries

Lustig
Kolo
Erik
KT

Brown
Bitton

Forrest
Rogic
Sinclair

Dembele

Bitton I think would be my biggest concern, but our only other option in there is McGregor at the moment. Armstrong for me is better kept as a change for Rogic / Sinclair if needed.

A hopeful 1-1 draw predicted.
