Benfica vs Celtic preview: Is it damage limitation for Celtic in Lisbon? Hugh MacDonald and Gordon Parks join Peter Martin and can't agree: "Benfica will inflict real pain on them", or a chance to "kickstart something"? Colby Donovan, Dane Murray, Liam Scales and Kieran Tierney as a back four "in real trouble": "just not good footballers", or young players who can get better? Plus a lightweight midfield, why "it's not the manager. It's upstairs", recruitment from Henrik Larsson to Virgil van Dijk, and Cameron Carter-Vickers: "Is he injured or censored?" From The Journos, 14 October 2026.
Would you play that back four? Tell us below.
