He is, but I don't understand why that would matter?
He's a poacher, you don't need to be fit. And it doesn't seem to stop him, he still scores goals.

2-1 is alright, but seriously the football was pish at times. Hope we improve for the next leg.

We probably need to buy a centre-back. Our defence really isn't comfortable.

Missed the match but it seems like everything is in motion for another glorious defeat.

HJK Helsinki are in horrible form in the Veikkausliiga so Celtic should be safe. They have only won one of their last five games in the league.

You should do more research on Celtic's away record in Europe Weather. Having said that, I do think they'll go through.

If we get our act together we can do it
Plastic pitch which has a reputation of catching teams out/celtics bottle/typical celtic to fuck it up, still haven't won a two legged european tie under Lennon
That worries me, but hoping for the best.
I was having this discussion with my dad after the game. Why is it that a tiny team like Helsinki, from Finland, can have a club like Celtic worried?
Looking at their away support last night, there was about 15 of them, that shows the size of their club. We have more money than them as well, then why is it these teams cause us problems?
Pisses me off.

It's fucking ridiculous, their annual wage bill is probably the same as what Daryl Murphy earns. Sounds like we pummelled them and should have won comfortably but it's always 'should have' with Celtic and Scottish teams in general.
If Helsinki knock us out, which is looking a distinct possibility, there can be no excuses. They are an absolutely diddy team - how the fuck is it that we can't just do our jobs? This team held its own against Atletico, Udinese and Rennes last year but when it comes to qualification against diddy teams like Sion and Utrecht we bottle it.
Its pure, unforgivable incompetence if we don't get through.

Spot on, if we do go out it's unforgivable.
Anyway, here's the goals
Helsinki 0-1
Hooper 1-1
Mulgrew 2-1

No doubting hes a top goalscorer.

Tell you what though, the build up to the Helsinki goal was good. That may be one of the problems Scottish sides have with European teams nowadays, even foreign diddy teams can string passes together.

Their main player is a Hearts reject too.

Forster; Matthews, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre; Brown, Wanyama, Ledley, Commons; Samaras, Hooper
No Kayal - that could be a massive, massive mistake.

I like the look of that team. The artificial surface seems to concern Celtic
Ari Virtanen @arivirtanenHKI
#Celtic and #HJK have agreed that the pitch will be watered before 8pm. HJK has an advantage then.
Looks like shit

40 mins to go, would have liked to have seen Kayal as well. Broony
Probably going to miss some of the game as well, might be a good thing

Here we go.
Probably a 3-0 defeat, where we concede two goals in 10 minutes, then play some decent stuff and look dangerous until conceding again in the 91st minute.
But here's hoping.
