Whilst Uralius has clearly spent a lot of time analysing the game , and has reached his conclusions after much careful consideration, we wondered what the paid professional analysts thought…<\/p>\n
Celtic have to win, a draw’s no good for me so they have to go after this but that leaves them open at the back and Leipzig are dangerous when given space to run in to on the counter-attack. They also had a great result at the weekend and they can get a point from the trip to Glasgow.<\/em><\/p>\n Charlie predicts: 2-2 ()\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Charlie Nicholas of Sky Sports more or less guaranteeing a result for Celtic there.<\/p>\n Incidentally, some people are saying Sky are about to offer \u00a330m a year for exclusive rights to Scottish football.<\/p>\n Its being described as a big offer but frankly its still quite derisory, and we can only hope that BT come back with a better deal.<\/p>\n Its around half what they pay the bottom club in Englands EPL per annum, and reflects exactly what they think of Scottish football. They’re only interested in Celtic v “rangers “, and when considering their offer, the clubs should remember that.<\/p>\n Don’t forget, they will include a clause that guarantees them four of these games a year, which is unethical.<\/p>\n BT sport have tonights game, and they put a lot more effort into promoting and presenting their programmes, and should all else be fairly equal, they should be given the nod.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There were no new injuries after training yesterday, which will come as a relief to the gaffer, but there is still a tricky bus ride down to the ground to negotiate.<\/p>\n I’d expect the team to be unchanged from the Hearts win, although Mulumbu could deputise for Ntcham, who hasn’t been at his best.<\/p>\n And I’m going for 3-1, with Oddsone Edoaurd to score first.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The manager has outlined how he wants us to play it..<\/p>\n \u201cLeipzig are a very good team,\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n If you are looking man for man, they\u2019re better than us. Simple. That\u2019s why they\u2019re third in the Bundesliga and why they\u2019ll be challenging in domestic and, probably, European competition.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBut, for us, we always have to be about the collective.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe thing for us is, OK, we might be playing against a very good squad. But we still have to go and show our true face. If we play how we can and lose, OK, that can happen.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBut let\u2019s make sure you\u2019re not timid with it. You don\u2019t give up space easily. You fight and you get up tight to player. You give good players the chance to\u00a0play and they will play. So you\u2019ve got to get right in amongst it, press the game and have that same feeling that you do domestically.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt would be a great win. I think we have to do everything we can to try and do it. We go into the game really confident and in a good way and with the support behind us, which is huge for us. I think I said before it all started that I felt the home games were going to be critical for us.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIf we get a win then we still have an opportunity. If we don\u2019t then it is extremely difficult. I think we have to maximise our opportunity and if we can do that and win our next two games then we will have given ourselves every chance.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n What he’s really saying is..<\/p>\n \u201cTom gives the team a different dynamic in terms of how he plays.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHe doesn\u2019t move so much, which actually helps because he can find space.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cTom has this incredible quality of standing still and knows where to stand. That\u2019s what he does. He conserves his energy well, so that when he doesn\u2019t have it he can press the game.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Rogic doesn’t seem to feel pressure, and that seems to fit with the managers thoughts…<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone always associates pressure with a negative. I\u2019ve always tried to say that it\u2019s positive, it\u2019s great, let\u2019s go and enjoy it, see if we can get the three points.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n With the ball, move it quickly and accurately.<\/p>\n Without the ball, stop them from moving it quickly and accurately.<\/p>\n Piece of piss this management lark.<\/p>\n One man who won’t be involved tonight is Daniel Arzani, who tweeted yesterday to confirm the extent of his injury picked up in Dundee..<\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1138\/5896\/products\/GE13A0_1_2fd913a9-9f1c-4c54-bb55-8f02e6628c95_1024x.png?v=1522326803\")
\u00a0There’s no prizes for guessing who Liepzig will try to negate tonight, and the manager explained why..<\/p>\n
