Bayern Munich v Celtic tonight

[LancsHibs]

Let's hope for a hard exerting match tonight, played at 100mph with plenty crunching tackes and a few knocks for the lesser greens😉Not sure result wise what the best option would be?

[DarlingtonHibee]

A few injuries would be great

[Lancs Harp]

An air traffic controllers strike and a long long coach drive home wouldnt go amiss.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I don't think the result matters in relation to the semi-final. More important could be any injuries and players rested. If Celtic are tired, that would be a big help.

[Firestarter]

Hope they get pummelled all game and scrape a draw. Much rather face them on the back of a good euro result than a shafting where they'd look to take it out on us. Draw and an eye off the game on sat would be nice.

[hibs#1]

Think simunovic(sp?) Is injured for it don't know if he will on Saturday or not.

[Big_Franck]

Hope they get pumped by 4 or 5 with a long delay to their flight coming back as well. Brown breaking down again would be a bonus also.

I was pleased when I saw they were playing Bayern before us but you're right, there is probably nothing worse for us than a heavy Celtic defeat before they play us.

[anon1875]

Hoping for a Celtic win so their players hopefully celebrate a little bit on the way back and hopefully pick up a few knocks. It's really hard to get yourself up for a mid week game after a big win. If they lose big they'll be out to prove a point come the weekend.

Celtic avoiding defeat is best for us. Hopefully a tough battle with some casualties.

This. It’s the knackerdness we need though. They need to be exhausted.

No Sunday game either fellas, early Saturday for yous.

Agree, a heavy defeat would elicit some kind of response.

Ive never bought into that reasoning.

It definately doesnt take 4 days to recover from a 90 minute game of football.

You should tell that to all the managers of clubs who play in the Champions League.

They might be getting paid millions for their expertise and knowledge, but you could set them straight about this.

In any case, Wednesday night to Saturday morning does not provide 4 days if recovery.

Played many European games have you?

[SirDavidsNapper]

Griffiths, Dembele, Brown, Tierney, Sinclair, Roberts, McGregor, Armstrong, Rogic injuries would be nice. Nothing long term I'm not an animal 😉

No...But I did go through P-Company till I snapped my ankle.

Which is a hell of a lot harder than running about for 90 mins.

[Steve20]

Hope they get pumped 5 or 6-0.

Celtc team will get back to Glasgow airport in the early hours of tomorrow morning, they will train Thursday afternoon and train Friday morning then have a couple of hours and will have to be in the hotel they are staying in for about 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon.

Hopefully Celtc get pumped tonight, it will have a affect on the players if it is a 5 goal defeat against them, Celtc getting beat or drawing in a small margin (1-0-2-1-1-1) will give they players a lift that they kept the score down and would be well up for it on Saturday, getting pumped 6-0 will have a affect on morale going in to Saturdays game with the heads down a bit.

We are playing them at the right time and Lennon will know this, wouldn't surprise me if Griffiths & Sinclair are rested for tonight and Dembele starts upfront on his own tonight and someone coming in for Sinclair, Rodgers will know that the best Celtc are getting out of this group is 3rd place and they probably have that in the bag so getting to a major final this weekend will probably be a bigger priority for him and his team.

Hibs at 13/2 to win is a very temping price.

[PeeJay]

Hope Celtic put in a good performance this evening and spoil the evening for Bayern - interesting article in the SZ paper this morning praising the skills of Lee Griffiths and his ability with free kicks, the article also claimed that NOBODY in Europe knows anything about Griffiths ... maybe they will after this evening's game? He's probably Celtic's best chance of scoring this evening ...

[BegbieHSC]

Bayern look like they might have the fire back with Heynckes as boss.
I'm calling a 6/7 nil, the Sellic to get absolutely run ragged all over the park; Broony injured again, and everyone else shattered and totally demoralised.

Then Hibs will beat them 3-2 this weekend

Regardless of any implications for the semi, I hope Celtic do Scotland proud tonight.
I'll be supporting them, as I would (almost) every other Scottish team

Same for me - I hope Celtic pull off a shock and win tonight then I hope they get skelped by us.....

Hibs to win 3-2 with stokes scoring anytime is 71/1.

[Winston Ingram]

I hope they get utterly battered.

[lyonhibs]

I hope they get pumped, smashed and ruined both physically on the pitch and on the scoreboard.

[blackpoolhibs]

I hope they keep it tight, and are made to chase the ball all over the park all night. A good humping will allow them to bring off a few players for Saturday.

If they get lured into chasing the ball around the park all night, they won't be keeping it tight that's for sure.

[Hibrandenburg]

Hope they get hammered and run ragged for 90 minutes then scrape an injury time winner. The adrenalin rush on top of the exertion would leave them running on empty for days. I have no time for Celtic but the same applies to Bayern.
