Celtic will play Juventus in the last 16 round of the Champions League. Juve are seven points clear top of the Italian league having won the competition last season without losing a game. They eliminated reigning European champions, Chelsea, in the last round and finished above a good Shakthar team.
They are remarkably well organised and don’t lose many goals (10 in 17 league games, 7 less than anyone else), but this is a tie Celtic can plan for. Juventus will present the same kind of challenge Barcelona did in the group stage, but they are not as effective as the Catalans.
Celtic have faced them twice in the European Cup/Champions League previously, winning both home games and losing away on each occasions, controversially in 2001.
I’m up for this one. Fairy-tale story with the lovable Celts the only British representatives in the quarter finals? Loins girded.

BMC-UpW,
Just don’tunderstand how the youth got on without aul’ Nip & Fluff.
Morning all from a dull but dry (at the minute) North Ayrshire.
Still feel the same about facing Juventus. I am usually afraid of our facing such an outfit. I don’t feel that at all. Very odd. Maybe Wembilee is a goer…..
Morning Celts,
One week into my hols and I’m looking forward to going teetotal in Jan, so my body tells me :>)

Good morning fellow Celts from post-Mayan apocalypse Renfrewshire
It Didn’t happen you say?
Then explain how we seem to be living in a parallel universe, where newco are valued at £42m with no debt!
Creditors in the oul’ universe will be having a rubbishy Christmas
@paul67 so Barca get to be Catalan but Celts are somehow British?
Celtic are the same as me. Scottish with strong Irish connections. Not British please.
Am I being oversensitive?

But we live and learn eh, every day is a school day.
……………………………………………………………………………….
Once again you attempt to foist your twisted take on our discussions onto me. Not once did I mention anything about the poor souls who perished at hillsborough. I find your post above to me offensive in the extreme.
You say “we live and learn”, you obviously have a hell of lot to learn.
Please doiscount me from your future petty squabbling and bullying sessions.
Tell all the zombies you know
That we’re swimming in champions league dough
They’ll be raking through bins
While we’re in Turin
And they’ll always be known as Sevco
CQN still here then? Mind you it is still early morning in Maya. There’s plenty time yet …

The first British team to win the big cup. I am very proud to tell that to all those lovely English folk around me.
We are based in Britain – but obviously the ole butcher’s apron will never be part of our club’s identity.
Incorporation.
I like that word.
The ole Mayan apocalypse will take place at 23.59.59 so as we can make full use of our last day on earth.
Fairly decent of the Mayans to do that by the way.
saltires en sevilla, if the end of the world is a large puddle at my back door then armageddon has indeed here occurred in Angus. I’ll need to bear my wellies to get to my coal bunker.
Post apocalyptic Carmyllie looks pretty much the same as it did yesterday…………………..except a bit soggier.
Still they day is young.
The Honest Mistake
Bang on, I think that many amongst our support forget how privileged and fortunate we are to be Celtic supporters and get to see them play as frequently as we do.
I hope that you enjoy your festive trip to Paradise.
During the build up to the draw yesterday I was sitting in a darkened classroom.
The weans were watching Elf or playing with hand held computer games and I sat in a far off corner attempting to keep abreast of events by scrolling through my phone on CQN or Twitter.
It suddenly struck me that around Europe, and perhaps the world, millions of people were doing likewise. They too were waiting to find out who their team got or their pal’s team got or their partners team got or their brother’s team got. Of course some would be sitting through gritted teeth in the hope that their arch enemies were drawn against the most difficult team possible.
And there in amongst Real Madrid and Barcelona and Manchester United, were my team, Celtic.
I had this immense feeling of pride and amidst the chaos which surrounded me, I found myself smiling.
He has faults and failings but Neil Lennon has delivered what he promised.
The thunder really is back.
I understand that the end of the world is due to occur at 11:11 GMT. Which is less than an hour from now.
Armageddon outta here!
Morning,
If Chuck is restricting players wages to 30% of revenue, how the hell will he spend £30 Million on players?
CQN, where the internet bampots ask the questions the zombies are too stupid to think of.

Just had a You Tube look at the bold Ricardo. By Jove, he looks a player……..and didn`t Neil say he wanted another left-sided player? Hmmmm…. I hope Neil reads CQN.
JJ
Wil we be able to watch the end of the world on you tube afterwards?….
hold on..wait a minute…
Modern end of the world stuff is rubbish!

‘I understand that the end of the world is due to occur at 11:11 GMT.’
Serious question: how did the Mayans know about GMT … ?
FF
ASonOfDan said @ 10:19:
‘CQN, where the internet bampots ask the questions the zombies are too stupid to think of.’
It’s better than that: the mere placing and debating of questions here on CQN is almost guaranteed to make these questions beyond discussion amongst the zombie ‘intelligentsia’, since we Timmies are not to be trusted … [for the sake of balance, it should be stated that big Timmies are, ipso facto, not to be trusted, either.]

One of the many end of world predictions will come true eventually. And you won’t be laughing then, will you?

Then I thought it ended when – Neil blew it v’s Ross County in the SC
Then i thought it ended when – Neil was suckered by Walter in the gollum pen game

Day4:Celebrate being same person as before , whilst Bob looks on.
Day5:Spend the day not understanding why Bob is annoyed .
Day6:Tell all my friends i am the victim, and nobody understands me.
Day7:Repeatedly say to myself I AM THE PEOPLE, and hope it all goes away !!!
