It's sink or swim time for Celtic and Rangers in the Champions League after both were hit by last week’s tsunami of goals. Positive results on Wednesday night might raise hopes Scotland’s representatives can survive the currents in UEFA’s top tournament – but lose and the Old Firm face plumbing the group stage depths.
Celtic fan David Bryce, Troon, was first up ahead of Celtic ’s trip to Warsaw in Poland to face Shakhtar Donetsk: “It’s high time Ange Postecoglou stepped up and showed his credentials in Europe.
For too long we have been also-rans. We need a point at least in Warsaw. Anything less than that then our campaign is over already.
The defence really needs to be tightened up. The players need to show that they are good enough to play in Europe. At the moment I’d say the jury’s out on most of them.” And Stateside bluenose Robert Livingstone, Palm Beach, is hoping to see Rangers take a bold approach when they host Napoli, saying: “If Giovanni van Bronckhorst plays an attacking formation instead of a defensive one, Rangers can win with the extra frontmen putting Napoli’s defenders under pressure. “This game looks ready made for the likes of Antonio Colak and Alfredo Morelos to combine up front with an intense atmosphere expected at Ibrox.
