Not that I'm going as I was over in Vancouver when the tickets were released.
When I was younger I used to get excited about games like this. I remember being amazed at the sheer number of people mulling around the streets when we played Celtic at Boghead in the Skol Cup in the late 80s. I remember the hair on the back of my neck standing up when I entered Parkhead a few years after and feeling the energy of a big crowd. But these days, it's just not the same. We are, more than likely, going to get humped and this is not a pleasant experience for any fan, especially when you've paid extra for the pleasure of it.
Of course, I'll still be wishing for a miraculous result and I'll be watching the game updates on Sky like always but as long as the Club get a decent amount of cash I'll be happy.
I hope the players enjoy it too whatever the result.
