No sooner had I typed up my match preview, looking in particular at the striking options than the team is announced with Scott McDonald benched in favour of Georgios Samaras.
Tony Mowbray has rung the changes with Stephen McManus making his first start of the season with Gary Caldwell moved into midfield.
With Aiden McGeady and Shaun Maloney both starting the match it’ll be intersting to see if Samaras is a lone striker or if McGeady or Maloney will be pushed firther forward in support.
Before television and radio coverage begins the Uefa website has the teams listed:
Boruc, Hinkel, Loovens, McManus, Fox; McGeady, Brown, Caldwell, N’Guemo, Maloney; Samaras
Subs: Zaluska, Naylor, McDonald, McCourt, McGinn, Crosas, Killen
