I am more confident of getting a result in the 2nd leg against Flamurtari than i was in the second leg against Llanelli.
The reason for this is in Airdrie the team were shockingly bad whereas in Albania they played well, dominated possesion but as so often is the case in football the results don't always go your way.
The deciding factor will be whichever team draws first blood on Thursday.
We'd all rather be playing at Fir Park, which makes it more important that we create an atmosphere as we always do and turn that shed in Airdrie into a claret and amber cauldron
The old saying does ring true that the fans are the 12th man.
Take the Scottish cup semi a few years ago to Rangers when we lost a goal early.
The fans chants just got louder and by half time we were 2-1 up.
I know we eventually lost 4-3 but the fans getting behind the team clearly roused the young players like Clarkson, Faddy, Pearson and Steven Craig.
This is true, you dont pick your team- they pick you.
I was brought up as a celtic fan for my first 5 years then my uncle took me to see 2 motherwell games over 2 weeks.
0-0 against Hibs and 3-0 gubbing of Dundee.
As much as i can remember from my early years i cannot remember chearing as much as i did at Fir Park that day.
