Celtic face Bodo Glimt in the second leg of the Europa Conference League last 32 tomorrow night. Trailing 3-1 on aggregate, the Hoops face an uphill battle to progress and the vast majority of fans feel that Ange Postecoglou should rest players and focus attention on the League campaign.
A Twitter poll this week found that 64.3% of Celtic supporters would rest key players for Sunday’s trip to Easter Road, rather than risk them in Norway.
Would you play a full strength team against Bodo Glimt or rest key players for the Hibs game?

That’s in stark contrast to a poll conducted prior to the first leg, when an overwhelming 84.9% of the Celtic faithful said that the club should take the Europa Conference League seriously rather than making wholesale changes.
Do you think Celtic should take the Europa Conference League seriously this season or play the reserves and solely focus on domestic football? (Not what you think will happen, what you think should happen)

Ange is a man who rarely adjusts his line up too dramatically, though he does believe in squad rotation. A born winner, he insists on trying to win every game. With that in mind, it is unlikely that Celtic will go into the match with anything less than a full strength line up. It would be an incredible result to turn the tie around.
Don’t let Roger Mitchell see this 🙂

Play well. Get something out the match. But I would rather we left the competition so we can play on Saturdays.
We’ve done ok (9pts) and made decent doe in Europa already. Not saying this tournament isn’t worth while but we’ve got bigger fish to fry imo. I’d rest players.
