It would be nice for Hooper, but frankly, he is too important to Cel5tic to see him go off and get injured or worn out in International play. Between the league and CL and cup games, he will be playing twice a week as it is.
As for our chances, we need to beat Spartak at home because I cannot see us pulling a second away win against Benfica and I don't fancy our chaces of takinhg points off Barcalona. I'm not a pessimist, I just think it's a tall order. Spartak will desperate for a win against us. Benfica will be tough on their own pitch. The Bhoys will really have to rise in both games.
