Europa league games against tonight.
I knew Celtic were resting players, but that is some line up. Given everyone else has been rested, or getting game time due to injury, playing Jullien is odd.
Lazio must be raging. I guess Celtic have earned the right to rest players, but they'll say Celtic aren't taking the game seriously.
There is still the issue of scoring points to increase Scotland's ranking. I read it's very close for the last remaining place for two champions league slots.
Tense time for Rangers. I think they'll do it, but dropping points to Aberdeen, losing the cup final and getting knocked out of Europe within a week would be a major downer.

Right enough! I wonder what the chances of a Battle of Britain are. Must be quite possible.
Possible ties from the BBC, so (after correcting thier error):Celtic: Apoel Nicosia, AZ Alkmaar, Bayer Leverkusen, Club Bruges, Copenhagen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Getafe, Ludogorets, Olympiakos, Roma, Shakhtar Donetsk. Sporting Lisbon, Wolfsburg, Wolves
Rangers: Ajax, Arsenal, Basaksehir, Basel, Benfica, Braga, Espanyol, Gent, Inter Milan, LASK, Malmo, Manchester United, Red Bull Salzburg, Sevilla
Tough but with a favourable draw doable for Celtic, a bit tougher I think for Rangers.

I just see banana skins everywhere! Getting through the next round will be a huge achievement for either of them. That said, I reckon most of the potential opposition would rather not meet Celtic or Rangers on recent Europa League form.
Aye Rangers and Celtic just offer something different from the norm these days that I don’t think teams quite work out.As an example, I watched Bruges vs Real the other night. Bruges looked really tidy and made a cracking game of it. But they just were a bit “soft” looking and I wouldn’t fear them. Obviously a good team, but wouldn’t fear.
Parkhead and Ibrox will have a lot to do with it too I hope. (If there’s fans in the stadium..!)
Frimpong MOTM again.
I was reading the Man City forum and fans rated him at their best youth player. He just wanted to leave for first team football. Hard to believe they let him go for £300k. There is never value buying from England. He's going to be a star.
Still the same at the top.
I must admit i did laugh when Morelos got his second yellow for telling the Motherwell fans to get it right up them. That backfired a bit.

I see the wee fannies in the Green Brigade are still running the show at Celtic Park, mind you I will agree with them on this one.Rod Stewart can indeed f- - k off.
Another quality post. 
You're greetin when anyone mentions Rangers, but between that you're only contributions are about Celtic and pretty much always guff.

So let me get this right, if someone holds up a banner saying Driver101 f
k off, you wouldn’t find it offensive.
Were you offended last week when the banner called Rangers supporters "Filthy animals"? k off, you wouldn’t find it offensive.Nobody raised the issue of banners last week when it was directly aimed at Rangers supporters.
How can you then be offended for someone else when you didn't have an issue when you were called out?
The banners put up every week at football games are to gain a reaction. Some are funny, some are s
te and deserve no acknowledgement just like this one.I'm 100% sure Rod has heard much worse over his career. I'm sure he'll be consoled that most people have spoken out against the banner.
It's gained huge traction with Rangers supporters for some reason. I'm struggling to see why?
