1. What tactics do you think Celtic should adopt in their "must win" game away to Aalborg on Tuesday, bearing in mind their failure to win in 19 previous away matches in the Champions League.
 
2. Who do you think is the best mix of strikers up front for Celtic and why ?
 
3. Do you think Shunsuke Nakamura is a luxury player or a vital part of the Celtic first-choice XI ?
 
4. Why do you think that Gordon Strachan has failed to fill Celtic's troublesome left-back position permanently ?
 
5. What is Celtic's best central midfield pairing and why ?

I forgot to mention, your answers are not allowed to include any reference to Rangers or Rangers supporters and how evil we all are.
 
Go on, show us you can do it.

1.I think if they approach the game with alot of confidence in their attack and don't believe the hype with that record, that they can cut through aalborg like a knife through hot butter. The defence has to stay strong like they did against united. I don't tics they need to change their usual saturday tactics depending on their confidence. The growing injury list won't help this.

2. I think Jan VOH is a great all round attacker but has no real signs of a unique trait in his play, i also don't think he will get any better as a player
Skippy is weak with the ball at his feet unless he's sticking it in the net, he tries to take on players and fails. His lack of goals this season worries me as to whether he was a flash in the pan or not.
Samaras has great pace, great strike and great at heading the ball, he ends to go wide as a player which i don't think he should do.

3. I think he's slowly dipping in form but still has flashes of brilliance. I think it's time for him to move on as he can't compete in european games anymore. He's a good playmaker and can take on players very well

4. I think Mark Wilson will never be anymore than a good SPL player. I think the wing back mentality WGS wants doesn't suit Naylor (who had a good first season with Celtic) and i think Strachan was hoping he'd recapture that form. I'd like to see Sylvinho(who has been heavily linked with a move) come in January as a short term fix for a long term problem.

5. For me, Scott Brown for now it's impossible to leave him on the bench. I think Paul Hartley has his great games and his good games for Celtic, he's a consistent performer, i noticed this in his hearts days and has great defensive qualities. He is the closest thing Celtic have had to replacing Lennon. As for Robson, also very hard to drop at the moment. More of an Attacking player but very well rounded but since we already have attacking mid with Brown at the mo so I would prefer to see Hartley. Least we forget, Marc Crosas who has a bright future ahead of him and has been one of the best passers ive ever seen for Celtic but time will tell how it works out for him

Why so many questions?

Thank you. That was very interesting and refreshing to hear you talk like that about football.
 
You really should do more of it, you are interesting when you talk about things that are interesting.

1. I think Celtic should play 4-4-2. They don't know how to play any other way. They have tried 4-5-1 away from home and still lost, and this is a game they must win.
 
2. For me it's Samaras and Maloney, although you can't doubt McDonald's goals record since he came to the club. I don't rate Vennegoor of Hesselink.
 
3. Expensive luxury who hides in the big games.
 
4. Celtic's big weakness, in my opinion.
 
5. On current form, probably Brown9 and Robson.
