Celtic v AIK - 0762 - 21-08-2019
Another Euro challenge for The Hoops, this time in a Europa League play-off 1st leg tie, and I don't think this will be an easy match at this stage of the quali process v testy Swedish opponents!! However, I do believe that Lenny has a team line up that will have a good chance of qualifying for the group stages. The question is, "Will he choose wisely" unlike that last failure v Cluj???? I think Gordon must be given a slot "between the sticks". Ajer, prob Celts' best defender, was injured v Dunfermline Athletic. So that presents a difficulty re tightening up a defence that really needs to be strengthened and secure. This could be another "rollercoaster" of a Euro tie and we'll see if Celtic manage to succeed this time.

FT and a competent 2-0 victory for Celtic with Forrest again scoring that crucial 1st goal and Edouard completing the score line with a second goal. So some comfort re that score and no goals lost but they can't be complacent in Stockholm.
