Celtic will face Israelis Hapoel Beer-Sheva in the Champions League playoff round later this month, with the first leg due to take place at Celtic Park.
Hapoel, carrying a Uefa coefficient of 4, eliminated Olympiakos, coefficient: 70, in the last round – a bigger shock than Dundalk’s win over BATE. They put on two backs-to-the-wall performances, drawing the first leg in Greece 0-0 before winning the return 1-0. In the earlier round they shot the Sheriff Tiraspol from Moldova, winning 3-2 in Israel before securing another 0-0 away.
The positives: the Israeli league hasn’t started yet, so Hapoel will be no further into their season’s preparations than Celtic. It also looks like the play on grass.
In recent seasons Celtic have found new and innovative ways to bow out at this stage but we know what’s required and will be strong favourites to progress.
Bring it on.

UEFA are a corrupt, venal organisation and one can only speculate as to what induced them to arrive at their position.
No like you not to have an opinion Ernie :-)

Wasting your time with that one.
All these historians eh.
I better shut up:)
HH
Ernie –
Er, it might be because there is still a violent conflict on-going in that region?
Just a thought.

None of this is real is it. It’s just me and a load of machines
Ok, who keeps telling Neganon we haven’t signed anyone? I think it’s cruel.
Celtic40me. Just to bring us back down to earth. Tomorrow marks the return of the glorious racism that Scotland craves.
Scotland Will celebrate. Our board will celebrate.
And I will be a clown. Apparently.

In which case both the Israeli and Palestinian flags would be banned.
But they’re not.
Go figure.
Auld tam it is an illegal occupation. HH
Neganon –
You actually thought it had gone away?
Auld Tim.
Still waiting on the board showing us that either they have balls, ambition or aren’t corrupt.
But you are happy either way.

The guy still hasn’t worked out moneyball after all these years we can’t expect him to know what a transfer is is
Oh, aye!
It’s “Get yer knickers aff!”
Fukcin hilarious!
Gordon64 –
I agree. Doesn’t make it any less a violent conflict.

No auld tam. But I perhaps naively thought that Celtic were an antidote.
It’s taken me nearly 30 years to realise that in fact Celtic have become part of the cause.
Now clown or no clown. That’s perhaps the saddest thing I have ever realised.

Yes a violent conflict between two parties.
But only one flag is banned.
NegAnon2,
Respect for yer Rudi Vata.
Get yerself on the Brendan Juggernaut.
It is All about our Own Home Schooled players.
It would be a privilege to watch the Celts alongside yer Good self.
Your Passion is strong.

Auld tam Concfict sounds as if it is a fair fight which it certainly is not. HH amigo
Well said Petec.
The huddle. Celtics version of moneyball involved using stats to find potential emergin pg talent. Getting the cheap. Throwing them into a group of players (not a team) and hoping we could sell on for a profit.
Results and the support and the humiliation they subjected us too don’t matter,
Just those extract juicy non contractual bonuses.
Does it make you super proud to be associated with it? Or are you going to hide behind some semantics?
Or am I a clown, a Hun, etc etc?

‘But only one flag is banned’
You seem surprised by that…Why?
HH
Gordon64 –
I don’t see how you arrive at that conclusion. A violent conflict doesn’t necessarily have to be a fair fight. think about it.

I’m not surprised by UEFA’s behaviour.
No doubt they will have had their reasons for doing what they did.
And maybe one day those reasons will become known.
Neganon –
Ok I’ll bite. You call yourself a Celtic supporter. I genuinely believe you are. So how come you are not aware that Celtic have acquired 4 new players so far this window?

Scary, you still don’t know what moneyball is.
You assign your definition of moneyball to Celtic then shout moneyball.
Celtic haven’t used moneyball, admit it?
Ah celtic40me. Isn’t it crap that I can’t remain a daft cuddly idiot.
Perhaps I should just accept corruption and cheating and lying. I mean after all then I could just have a wee laugh and a joke.
All this principle stuff just gets in the way doesn’t it?
So have you heard the one about the guy who died but didn’t realise he died?
Good evening (again) friends and may I be the first to wish you a very happy Saturday!

You too Jobo. That time already?
The huddle you just don’t want to read do you.
It’s funny how paul67 waxed lyrical about moneyball and the boards strategy. Perhaps he was making it up?
Auld tam imo ‘conflict’ does not accurately describe the military occupation of the west bank and Gaza territories by Israel. HH
