AEK Athens are a far sterner test than Celtic or Rosenborg would want in the Champions League third qualification round. Last year they despatched Brugge 3-0 on aggregate from the Europa League qualifiers before drawing home and away against AC Milan. They left the tournament in the first knock out round on the away goals rule to Dynamo Kiev.
On the positive side, they are preseason and the third round will be their first competitive games since May. Although they are a famous European name, last season was their first domestic title in 24 years, when the interrupted Olympiacos’ domination of football in Greece.
Should we overcome Rosenborg, this would be a big task for Celtic. AEK will be favourites, no matter who they face.

About 40 mins i’v done it loads of times
Saint Stivs
John McGinn is as much of an accident waiting to happen wi red and yellow cards, as Dedryck Bhoyata is a bombscare. Both nonsense opinions. How many mistakes fae the Belgian has cost us goals?
3-2 game at Ibrox is all I can think of. That is cancelled out by his heider in the 5-1 game at doomdome the previous season. Would like to see Jason Denayer beside his Belgian colleague as our two Centre Backs this coming season.

Can any of posters posting that we should buy a fb and a cb please also tell us the name of one who is,
available,
willing to come to Celtic,
at a price we can afford,
We speculate here daily on new players,we have a big network of scouts worldwide, Lee Congerton was brought in to target players.I spoke to one of the staff a few weeks ago, the lad from Arsenal signed last week, the word to all scouts was get a right back.We needed a CB from January onwards, Jozo is the new Gary Gillespie The Rigger,( 2 weeks on 2 weeks off),Boyata has been blanking PL for extension talks, who done background xhecks on Commper , who got into bother in Dubai in January? Money wasted.Hendry and Ajer great potential for me, but inexperienced HH

Where in Coolock is your better half from?
I went to school in the village in Chanel college (sounds posh but it wasnt) next door to Parnells GAA, home of Stephen Cluxton.
lots of my cousins were from opposite the flats in cromcastle across from northside shopping ctr
NavanBhoy: Enjoy your trip across the pond.
Have you planned your Grand Canyon visit yet?
If not, check out visiting the Havasupi reservation in the GC. Helicopter ride down is quickest and there is accommodation available and well worth the effort. Sorry I don’t have a link but I’m sure you’ll find it. Sedona and the Painted Desert is just beautiful.
Also recommend the Heard Museum (Native American) and the Irish Heritage & Cultural Centre in Phoenix.
There’s also a pub in Phoenix (owned by a Belfast born Celt) which shows Celtic games. It’s listed on Celtic Bars.
Hope that helps.

How good was short arse Francesco Molinari on Sunday. Half of the punters in Horse and Barge lumped on him. God bless Craig Connolly the tipster. ??
Did someone say earlier that should we progress past Rosenborg, but lose to AEK, that we would then drop into the group stage of the Europa League?
Not so, as I read it, a loss against AEK would mean dropping into the play off round of the EL. The league route third round losers, do go straight into the group stage of the EL, but not the Champions Route third round losers. The draw is even more rigged than I thought… and I already thought it was rigged.

That should be float.?

The very man. He has dragged Martin Kaymer on the Dalmuir Celtic bus on more than one occasion. Sorry to say the handsome big German consumed Buckfast. ??
UEFA have concocted all these extra ties to be played and it’s all about lining the coffers in Switzerland. I watched both draws we were involved in this morning and couldn’t believe how many ties there are. Alashkert dropped into the EL qualifiers.
POG
Yeah, I knew that, but I had originally thought that if we beat Rosenborg, but lost to AEK we were in, but not so (I think) ?

Some of the states we were in Munich would take us 3 hours to walk fae Barras tae Paradise. 1 step forward, 3 staggered steps back. Hahaha
