Arguably Inzaghi underestimated Celtic's ability and was rightly punished. Pretty sure they said he was struggling with a calf injury or something like that in the lead up to the game at CP which is why I said where possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That certainly sounds like a diplomatic answer to the question "why are you leaving your top scorer out for the match against the Scottish champions"? Would be more believable if he hadn't played. I can't see why you'd risk your best player unless you needed a goal in a must-win game as opposed to drawing 1-1 in round 3 of 6.

Agreed Rennes haven't won an away fixture since August so this is a great opportunity to get some minutes into Taylor, Frimpong, Morgan, Rogic and/or Griffiths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frimpong wasn't registered for the group stages sadly. Really shows how far he's come in a short space of time though given they chose not to register him only a few months ago. Hes very close to being our first choice rb now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Looking forward to going to this with the luxury of having already qualified. Might affect the atmosphere a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Saw a few Stade Rennais supporters brazenly wearing scarves at lunchtime but I somehow managed to avoid stabbing them in the arse*. *Not a euphemism 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Very festive teamsheet graphic from Celtic. Interesting to see Morgan get some game time, and it looks as though Christie is leading the line with no natural striker in the starting XI. Also good to see another academy player in Robertson get a spot on the bench, hopefully he gets a debut Edited November 28, 2019 by senorsoupe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) One of the easiest group games I can remember but that cannot be Rennes first string - they had a centre half whose BMI was a double Hartson and a forward half the height of Forrest. The fat centre half was laughable - put Morgan on his arse and did a Naismith style testosterone fuelled gloat despite being 2-0 down in a meaningless game and it being Lewis fucking Morgan. Their fans were absolute class. Thought the atmosphere was fine in the circumstances sans GB too - us joining in their huddle was good.

TheScarf Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Celtic winning the group with a game to spare means it's an absolute NAP they get papped out in the first bknockout stage by some jobber outfit like Malmo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
