So it's Aidy McGeady back at Parkhead Benfica will be hoping they can sort out their defence as they currently have NO cover at right back so if Maxi gets suspended or injured they are stuffed !! The left back is a former winger who gets forward well but can't defend (melgarejo) , they are after the Portuguese international Eliseu from Malaga but he will be cup tied anyway!! Just given Saviola a free transfer who is going to Malaga And the centre back and captain is looking at a ban for attacking a ref in a friendly v dusseldorf , a game that was abandoned as the ref lost consciousness and suffered alleged cranial lesion so we are all waiting for the outcome in that case .. Also Man Citeh are after the Benfica centre mid and enforcer Javi Garcia which would be a huge loss to their chances

Well the transfer window slammed shut and the rumours came true ! Benfica did sell Javi Garcia to Man Citeh and left the Benfica centre midfield with less options as he was a fundamental part of the team forming a good partnership with the Belgian Axel Witsel. So without Garcia Benfica lined up this weekend v Nacional with Witsel dropping deeper and Carlos Martins playing Witsels midfield role. However when the half time whistle went with the score 0-0 Martins was replaced with Matic allowing Witsel to push up and dominate the midfield . Benfica winning 3-0 Now today is déjà vu day in Portugal because Benfica today SOLD Witsel to Zenit for the release clause fee or 40 million Euro ( they also picked up Porto captain Hulk for 60 million euro !!!) Now with a rumoured Ban for Captain Luisao for this they are not as strong as they were and with our record against them , should be there for the taking !!

Luisao today was banned for 2 months not sure if the appeal has been sent in allowing him to play next week FIFA may extend it to up to 2 years if they think the punishment is too lenient Also Maxi is banned they are trying to adapt Miguel Vitor from centre back to right back . Defensive wise he can cope but they lose out in the attacking phase So a defence with two players being adapted at full back plus a third choice centre back to play alongside Garay gives us a perfect opportunity to get at them !!! |

So it's Juventus - I had hoped for Schalke 04. But if we can beat Barca we can beat Juve as well.

Good draw , not going to complain there more than beatable. We can do them at home and get a draw over there.

don`t see us progressing unless we take a 3 or 4 goal lead but the tie is full of glamour. It`s the tie I wanted. Desperate for Martin to feel that European buzz v Juve

I`m not biased. I don`t care who beats Rangers It is up to us, to everyone at Celtic Park, to build up our own legends. We don’t want to live with history, to be compared with legends from the past. We must make new legends." Jock Stein | |

One of the toughest draws we could have gotten (perfect for us). Has a bit of everything about it. And they are a good side as well. Just really nice to be actually involved at this stage, there was me taking more than a passing interest in the draw for the first time in years. Well done Celtic, may you dine at the top table for years to come.
