Celtic for the second time this season bring a 1-1 away result from the first leg of European knock-out competition back to Paradise, and hopefully this time we handle it much better. In that first half against Cluj back in August in the Champions League qualifier, the players didn't appear to know whether to twist or stick with their away goal advantage.
Neil Lennon has hardly put a foot wrong since returning to Celtic Park a year ago this week, but he did have a managerial mare that night, over thinking his team selection and failing to have enough faith in his two summer signings Bolingoli and Jullien who were left on the bench watching the tragedy unfold before their disbelieving eyes. That game signalled the end of Scott Bain as the first pick Celtic keeper and it didn't take Neil Lennon long to go out and bring Fraser Forster back to the club.
Since then we've tried to second guess Neil Lennon's team choices on here but while getting the score correct is usually possible - especially in the group stages of the Europa League where you got 5/6 correct scores on here - getting the team right these days is almost impossible.
The much welcomed change in formation, or at least adding 3-5-2 to the mix makes it even harder. Copenhagen changed their tactics at half-time last Thursday to combat Celtic and it worked, so maybe Lennon will surprise then with a 4-2-3-1 formation on Thursday night?
Let's give guessing the team a go. Remember Broony is a doubt for this one and Ryan Christie is suspended after being booked for conceding the penalty last week. If Broony doesn't make it play Tom Rogic.
Fraser Forster
Kristoffer Ajer, Christopher Jullien, Jozo Simunovic
James Forrest, Scott Brown (or Rogic), Callum McGregor, Olivier Ntcham, Greg Taylor
Leigh Griffiths, Odsonne Edouard
That means Jeremie Frimpong, maybe Tom Rogic, Moi Elyounoussi, Scott Bain, Nir Bitton, Vakoun Bayo, Patryk Klimala, Moritz Bauer and Boli Bolingoli will make up the subs.
No mistakes this time, Celtic 2 Copenhagen 0.
