Beat Hapoel Beer-Sheva for Champions League football

822

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.

    Firstly 10 years ago today, my brother lost one of his Bhoys, so Thoughts and prayers still with you Ryan.

     

     

    KevJ, delighted to see you back

     

    And finally

     

    Neganon2, 100% Bhud, a total fallacy that some new club and winners of the 1st division open the Scottish Football calendar – not return, yo can’t return to somewhere you have never been.

     

    Yet Scotland’s champions first game is away from home, on a Sunday – typical Scottish mentality – bigotry or racism whichever, but keep quiet and accept

     

     

    Team will just need to keep winning, so let’s get 6 Brendan :-)

     

     

    In the words of KevJ

     

    Off oot

    Let’s hope it all comes to pass:-)) You had us all worried last week. I’m on holiday at the moment and my wife and grandson both asked me on Thursday if you were OK.

     

     

    Be positive and KTF.

    Will Richard Scudamore, Chief Exec of the EPL, be on the pitch next week to present Burnley with the English second tier divisional trophy? Did Hearts unfurl the Championship flag at their first game last year? We are being presented with a display of street theatre reminiscent of Andy Warhol or the 1920s Dada movement in France.

     

     

    I really hope The Clumpany is watching this.

  9. Hey Kev J.

     

    Good to see you posting again.

     

    I’ve been trying to catch up with you.

     

    Thank you for the kind comments you posted for me a couple of weeks ago.

     

    I hope you are doing well.

     

    Hail Hail

    Kevjungle – I always scrolled past your posts – nothing personal, I do it to all the Negative guys.

     

     

    But it’s good to have you back – hail hail.

    Flats at back of dolphin in Partick have collapsed onto the road at the side door, no further info

    No one injured thankfully

     

    Just behind the side door where smokers go

  13. Krancjar looks very unfit and as mobile as a carthorse. Sevco looked sharp for the first 10 minutes then pedestrian. Accies can definitely win this if they can keep 11 men on the park, which is looking increasingly unlikely.

  14. I basically profit close to £4k-£8k every month doing an online job. For those of you who are prepared to do easy at home jobs for 3h to 5h each day at your house and earn valuable paycheck while doing it…
