The Celtic Park stage tonight is set to be something special. Fans are desperate to bang out a “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and after waiting over a year and half tonight is the night. The Bhoys also take a massive 4-2 lead into this Europa League third qualifying round against Jablonec.
Celtic fans have been deprived of packing out Celtic Park for almost 18 months. It is impossible to gauge how much effect that has had on the team but the early indicators are that it was detrimental.
As we all know from last season, football scripts don’t always go to plan. Both Callum McGregor and Ange Postecoglu have correctly spoken this week about keeping focus and not getting carried away this early in the season.
Kyogo Furuhashi set Celtic Park a light on Saturday against Dundee, the Japanese striker bagging himself a hat-trick on his first home debut. Four goals in two games has got Celtic fans excited about their new striker, especially after Postecoglu said he will only get better.
There is a large majority of fans who feel Celtic should be all-out attack in the SPFL against teams like Dundee, especially at home. Will Ange stick with that attacking lineup from the weekend or will some caution creep into his selection?
With the teams just announced, this is how the Hoops will line up tonight.

The exclusion of Abada must be from some sort of injury that must have only happened in the last few hours.
