I'd start Hodge and swap to Whyte when he inevitably runs out of gas. Other than, I agree with that starting 11.

I would 100% start Hodge. From the little we saw him in the Stenny disaster he looks quality. Always finding pockets and looking for the ball and looking to progress play. Exactly what we need.

Lucas Fadinger.... Hopefully not until next season though!

No idea what we are going to get tonight, could be a thrashing or maybe even a wonderful night but all you can ask is the players give their best and there are no regrets about the performance. I thought HJK would have been favourites against us but beatable. In the end I think we showed we were actually a level up from them. Obviously this is a much better team but again we have a huge opportunity to show how good we can be. Freiburg are a barometer and we have the chance to really measure up to elite level football.

They're is a couple of key decisions for AJ tonight. Who does he play at RB, who partners Fadinger in midfield and who starts in the attacking areas. Ideally my team for tonight would be: Paulsen Girdwood-Reich Knight-Lebel Moormann Longelo Fadinger Whyte Maswanhise Lowry Said Palmer-Houlden Whyte mainly in because of his physicality but Hodge could well start.

He's in the official squad, so I'd think so.

If cleared and fit it might be worth a punt starting him with Said and Maswanhise wide. The germans wont know anything about him. Nae pressure Seb 🤣🤣

Do we know if Palmer-Houlden got international clearance in time to play tonight? I don't really want to see Vogt or Maswanhise in that lone striker role

And Cliff Richard driving and singing all the way 🤣🤣

Was that the same crap bus that took supporters to Katowice back in 91, two days travelling and they missed the 1st half of the match.🤣

Post from club saying we have already been fined €20,000 this season for incidents. Let's channel all our efforts in creating a great atmosphere tonight and none of the daftness. STAND UP AND SING FOR MOTHERWELLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Naw its better than that an old Irvines double decker a classic.

Apparently we have obtained and old Hutchy bus for away trip 🤪🤪

Show off’s bringing their own bus over just for driving about in as there’s no way they’d have not flown over.

Do we?

Hope it’s not the Bentley hotel….. I wouldn’t even wish that on Celtic fans

I wonder where their fans will be staying

They are all throbbers, apart from the motherwell supporting ones of course..

Yep definitely, I am really liking AJ. He had such a hard act to follow but is very much implementing his own style and the new signings are fitting in well and getting the love for the club which is a thing we hsve always been good at. Would be amazing if we could win tonight

AJ certainly got his card marked.

Yip. Do we know who that reporter was? Bit of a throbber.

If we were looking for a RB it would only be worth getting one on a loan until January to cover the position for us as we already have 3 Signing wise we're probably only going to make 1/2 more if there is no further outgoings. We could do with at least another RW as Vogt doesn't look great there and then an AM/LW depending on where we see Said playing. I imagine once we know wither or not we're in Europe loans will be found for Wilson and Booth so we don't stagnate their careers

Spotted in the toon, Motherwell Travelodge no good enough?

Think to get through the tie we need to take a 2 goal.lead over there, unlikely as it may be. Frustrating given injuries etc and would have been interesting to see how Jens' Team would have coped. Will be very tough, as I assume they will be big, athletic and technically very good. Who know's though. Early doors in the competition and there's always the odd shock. As long as we do ourselves justice and give the fans a few things to be proud of.

Going back to the presser, on his initial introduction there was a question whether Alfie was too much of a 'nice guy'. Think that's been put to bed now. Pleasant, but robust when required.
