We'll win by at least three goals.

They're shit.

Too much modesty around here.

If we don't win at least 3-0 we ought to be ashamed of ourselves.

Its going to be so one-sided you'll all question what you were worried about.

Honestly think it could be 6 or 7.

It really won't. We are in a bit of a rut form wise, they have been decent enough in Europe this year. From memory one of their best under Rodgers in Europe. Solid scrappy win will do and get us into the next round.

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, ?, Digne, Kamara, McGinn, Bailey, Rogers, Ramsey, Duran.

6 or 7 are you having a laugh? We beat Southampton 1-0 at home, they are definitely not worse than them.

Only needs to be 1-0.  I'd be happy enough with that, although we may need a better goal difference.

We should be wiping the floor with Celtic. But there's a malaise about us this season and it's so frustrating. I'll take a 1-0 win and that's how far we've fallen.

Which of their players do you reckon would get into the Southampton team?

I wouldn't take 11 goals in 70 Championship games Adam Idah over Archer. Or Adam Armstrong with his 80 or so Championship goals.

Their centre-backs are Auston Trusty who was in and out of that awful Sheffield United team last season and Cameron Carter-Vickers who spent his entire pre-Celtic career jobbing around the fringes of not-very-good Championship sides.

Joe Aribo plays around half Southampton's matches, having joined them as one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership.

This doesn't mean we definitely win. We could easily lose. But player for player, they are Not Good.

That team would easily beat them.

Remember when we were shit and got relegated. Scott Sinclair, one of our shittest players, left and became their best player and was part of their treble treble-winning team.

The gap is absolutely massive.

It will be a thrashing on Wednesday night.

At Celtic, yes. Not for our match though.

My anxiety levels are building up about a half n half scarves breakout on Wednesday night .

For first time in my life i might actually get one. Just to wind up the EDL chaps around me. Nah, I probably won’t.

You may be right, but there is nothing from us to say we’re going to click and walk through a team at the moment. Granted they had a horror show in Dortmund - maybe some intel from Malen might help - but equally they drew at Atalanta. If we breeze past them I’d be delighted, but I’d also be surprised.

Just checking the Irish TV listing for Wednesday night and we've been relegated to the chanel nobody has in favour of Man City vs Brugge and Liverpool vs PSV.

I'm shocked that our game isn't getting proper coverage considering its Celtic we're playing.
