We know that Milan aren't in great form at the moment but we (Celtic) aren't playing at our best either. The team is as follows:
GK: Boruc - Our best keeper in 20 years and saved a Saha penalty to get us here.
DL: Naylor - Every Celtic fan was worried when we signed him but he recently got SPL player of the month and has been one of our best players this season. Excellent crosser and solid defensively.
DR: Wilson - Strachan (coach) said he's the best defender in Scotland. Hasn't had a bad game so far. Great potential.
DC: Balde - Needs someone to guide him. Poor since Mjallby left 2 seasons ago.
DC: Caldwell/McManus - Average players at this level.
ML: McGeady/Maloney - Maloney was voted SPL player of the year and young player of the year last season. 16 goals and 23 assists last season!!! He hasn't been his best this season and McGeady has taken his place. McGeady played against Milan 2 seasons ago and got motm. If you remember Nesta was clapping him during the game and Maldini also praised him. He is much, much better than he was then but lacks confidence in Europe. Very skillful player.
MR: Nakamura - Our best player! Probably the most intelligient player to have played for Celtic, he could play blind folded.
He has been our best player this season, along with McGeady. Superb passer, superb technique, nice skills. A class above everyone in Scotland.
MC: Lennon - Holding midfielder who breaks up play and plays the short passes.
MC: Gravesen - imo he's better than Petrov but most Celtic fans aren't impressed yet. Suprisingly he's a very creative player and, unlike Petrov, he'll be really up for it in the big games like this.
FC: Vennegoor - Tall striker. Excellent at holding up the ball and a great header.
FC: Miller - A workhorse. A nightmare for any defender on his day. Hasn't been scoring many goals but he runs non stop for 90 minutes and is good with the ball at his feet.
Jarosik, Sno, Zurawski, Maloney/McGeady and Riordan are the main back up players. I'm sure there'll be 1 or 2 players brought in in January, definitely a central defender and maybe a striker.
None of us expect to win. We'll probably expect to win the first leg by a goal, or maybe draw, but it'll be different in the San Siro.
btw - The weekend after the 2nd leg is the following fixtures:
Celtic v Rangers
Inter v Milan
