LASK Orders: Finish the Job

Andrew is joined by Keith and Stephen to look back at Celtic’s hugely encouraging 3–0 Champions League play-off win over LASK and ahead to Tuesday night’s second leg in Austria. The bhoys discuss the maturity of the performance, Celtic’s worrying habit of conceding goals in clusters away in Europe, the emergence of Colby Donovan, the atmosphere of another proper European night at Celtic Park and whether Martin O’Neill should alter the shape of the team to protect the three-goal advantage.

Attention also turns to the final days of the transfer window and what Celtic still need if they reach the Champions League. There’s discussion of possible arrivals and departures, the futures of Nygrin and Hatate, the need for genuine squad depth and an interesting debate about how Celtic begin to manage Callum McGregor as he gets older without losing the intelligence, anticipation and leadership that still make him so important.

There’s transfer speculation, Mark Viduka and Terry Venables anecdotes, and predictions for Tuesday as Celtic stand 90 minutes from the Champions League.
