They were seeing out pressure anyway before Rio Atleti, so it wasn't a real big adjustment in terms of the first half.
And now it's a case of probably keeping them calm, knowing they're going to have to see out probably a lot of possession that Boulogne will have.
And really thinking about changes because...
Physically, as the game goes on, you'd imagine Celtic will fatigue just with the man less.
Yeah, I would suggest it wouldn't be for his goal contributions.
It'll be he's got incredible endurance and legs.
And that's what Celtic are going to need.
We're just watching clips of them there.
Some of the defending in the first half has been exceptional.
Callum McGregor, a brilliant interception.
Austin Trustee, numerous different occasions.
And I think this substitution here, Newton coming on, will probably suggest Celtic no.
They're going to face a good bit of pressure tonight coming off.
off the back of a fantastic win the tiredness will go out the window and as you were saying what it was like as well anyway after a European game or a big game for Celtic Yeah I think the onus when you go and play back at Celtic Park will always be for you to go and lift the place if you like going to Towncastle there's no chance the players are going to rock in there with any sort of fatigue but this obviously isn't ideal but I completely agree I don't think it'll be an issue
Yeah, well, we're watching it now and Celtic have everyone nearly back in their 18-yard box, they're going to have to see how crosses, I think they're giving up wider areas, you can see Kieran Tierney not getting detached, there's a header on goal, simple save for Kasper Schmeichel.
Yeah, I think just watching the first, what is it, it's only 90s, just beyond 90 seconds in the second half, Celtic will see out a lot of crosses and they defended brilliantly in the first half, so...
I think that'll be the trend.
Yeah, it's something that I think I've seen someone commenting today about the Rangers squad.
There doesn't seem to be a kind of... There's no main man, which actually, ironically, can end up being, at the minute certainly, could be a plus because there's no real hierarchy in their squad and everyone's playing, everyone's kind of contributing and there's maybe an acceptance where...
you would have thought to leave a player of James Tavener on the bench, your captain.
