I do agree if possible Celtic should be given as much time to -prepare as is feasibly possible, but only if it involves minimal disturbance to other matches.

Any scottish team winning in europe is great for all of scottish football, (as much as it pains me to say )
Glad we agree on something lol

That's twice you've mentioned it do you?
Well you also repeated your point.

And no I don't think any game should be postponed. Celtic should be able to play Saturday-Tuesday, or Sunday-Wednesday.

If they think the schedule is too demanding rest some players (although they shouldn't need to do that.) They have a comfortable lead in the SPL which they can't possibly lose this season.

A key player could pick up a little niggle a day could be the differance between him playing or sitting in the stands .so if the opertunity arises to give any club an extra day to prepare for europe shouldn't they get it if it could possibly help our game? Its also a scottish cup game and celtic are chasing a double so they can't rest players.

I don't really care too much about Scotland UEFA coefficient ranking.

But a key player could pick up a little niggle training or doing anything else really. Its not a reason to postpone games.

I did. But the reason is because games HAVE been postponed in the past in Scotland for what I consider to be no reason.

You mentioned that teams should be given maximum time to prepare for games, and taken to its logical conclusion that means that the game should be postponed, as that would mean the maximum time possible to prepare for the game.

I still think that the SPL should never have granted that request from Rangers.

The tie has not been decided to be played on either date yet so we can't really talk anymore on this. Also your lack of interest on scotlands co effeciant doesn't surprise coming from wolvesdavid a don't think any team in scotland is not your main team.

Personally I think we should be lobbying the SFA and SPL for the season to be extended. Seriously though, we play when we play.

We have played in Paisley when Rangers were at home on the same day before. Last season Rangers played Aberdeen with a 3pm kick off the same day we were in Paisley with a 12.30pm kick off although I understand the main point was in regards to the kick off time itself.

I see Leigh Griffiths has been charged for the tweet he allegedly made,

any club in europe should be given as much time to prepare for a tie as possible being if its a qualifier for the europa leauge or champions leaugue last 16 if a club can get an extra day to prepare it would be better for our game in a whole.

Bit like your clubs much fabled maiden scottish cup run over before it really started. I do think rangers should have been given as much time to prepare as possible though.

Stv name Henrik Larsson and David Moyes as their pundits for Celtic v Juve - Derek Rae and Alan Brazil will provide the commentary.

Is anyone watching this game tomorrow, same old squad or players past it or players who don't play club football.

69 ranked v 83 ranked so should be a fairly evenly matched game

He's on Sky's staff now. He only commentated on CL games for STV when he was with Setanta and they produced the coverage.

Derek Rae makes sense because ITV and ESPN have a close link with the FA Cup, so it's logical that STV come in on that. Clive Tyldesley will no doubt be the commentator "darn sarf".

...take it murdo will be with henrik on the night
What makes you say that?

Murdo MacLeod will undoubtedly be on BBC Radio Scotland.
