9IAR more important than tonight.
All Portuguese teams out tonight might tell you something. My tipping us getting Arsenal in the next round obviously jinxed both clubs. Hopefully my other prediction of sevco away to Donetsk on the 12th March comes to fruition.

Your right, I was thinking of rainbows :)

Brendan Fraudgers passing across the back when the other team is pressing you is a nightmare and should be stopped immediately.
Also I’m sorry to say but Simonovic should never kick another ball for us.
Never fit and we have to keep changing our defence to suit him.
Cannot play on artificial.
Cannot play 3 games in a row according to NL
Why would you persevere with someone like that, he also looks lazy at times.
Anyway the league is what I want 9, then 10.
Small minded I know but so whit.
D. :)
I’m sorry Ron67 I’ve tried sticking up for you in the past but your Jullien bashing fetish is incredibly weird
😂😂😂😂
Lenny’s had a great year, building a really exciting team, but he had a stinker tonight. Team selection, formation and tactics miles off. He was out-thought tonight.
Disappointed to go out to inferior opposition (yet again).
However, the main thing is.the league. We mustn’t allow this quite dismal collapse to infect our confidence. Write it off, go again.
Wait for Sevco’s inevitable financial collapse and Big Pistol can knock himself out selling off the family silver in the summer!

=========================================================================
Should have been obvious to all , but what was plan B ?
Lots on here are saying that 10IAR is more important and I tend to agree.
However, a quick question. If/when 10IAR happens or if/when the other mob eventually stop our run, will Europe matter more again?
Look at the celebrations from their players and fans. Think back to the feeling when Ntcham scored in Rome.
There are some big hitters in the next round but also some winnable ties….I don’t see why a club like ours can’t look to get to the business end of this competition or the knock-out stage of the CL.
Many on here seem resigned to our fate….
It’s frustrating to lose what was almost an exact repeat of the Cluj game in August. As a team, we don’t seem to have taken on that lesson.
Let’s see out the league and in the summer look to add quality and depth at the back.
Tonight is nowhere near as damaging as the Cluj defeat but Cluj will happen again in the summer a head if we don’t finally start to significantly up our game management in Europe.
CORKCELT on 27TH FEBRUARY 2020 10:31 PM
Ron67. You really should take a look at yourself. Jozo & Ajer were the weak links at the back Julien & Taylor were the best of our defenders.
so julien couldn’t have done better at the first goal or played a better clearance at the third, some are easily pleased also he barged into their goalie or CMcG goal would have stood, never criticised Taylor , playing 3 allegedly centre backs in a back 4 is suicidal.
When we got dumped out the champions league earlier in the season these pages were filled with folks [including myself i think] for us to concentrate on the league title and not be too concerned about the Europa League.
Truth is we have been excellent in both…until tonight.
Can’t have everything peeps
shit happens….I know where my priorities have always been this season and they do not concern thursday nights.
Neil Lennon I still love you……..9 in a row
A game of small margins making the difference..as the Copenhagen boss said.
Just a reminder….Filip Benković currently plying his trade in the championship
Both Celtic and Braga were expected to win their ties, Braga never looked remotely like scoring whereas Celtic did but were unable to take their chances. Copenhagen had three chances from our mistakes and scored. Incidently the Danes budget is practically the same as Celtics I believe. Hugely disappointing after a great campaign. Christie drive and energy and Ntcham badly missed to-night.
Why not:
Perry Como ‘ For the good times’.

Benkovic had a stinker in his last game for Bristol City by all accounts and was called out by his manager.
I wonder whether his development may have been better served having another season with us.
Either way, I think that ship has sailed now but we definitely need a CB or two in the summer.
It’s all well to point out individual errors
Was anybody surprised with Jozos error? He’s made a few domestically
Wouldn’t judge McGregor if he wanted to leave after the 10.
Massively let down by teammates.
I have not posted in a while but all credit to Copenhagen and their manager – he changed tactics once we needed the goal and instead of sitting back, he went on the offensive and pressured us into stupid errors.
Macjay1 – sometimes you just have to move the ball forward quicker.
I am not a fan of long balls from back to front but tonight when they were pressing us and we were getting further and further back, we just need to pick a corner or try and hit a forward and defend in their half not on our own 18 yard line.
A couple of bad games in a season isn’t too bad in the grand scheme of things.
I am not a fan of the EL anyway, I would rather concentrate on domestic trophy’s and a crack at CL.

My concern is him leaving after the nine. Big summer coming up where holding onto players will be as big as signing them.
@ AN DUN on 27TH FEBRUARY 2020 10:02 PM
“We need to fundamentally change our approach at this level.
Pack the defence and play ugly.
It works.”
Isn’t the above within the remit of the manager? Tactics, formation, discipline, game plan etc.
Twice this year a 0-0 at home would have taken us through and we have conceded 7! This is not down to having poor CBs, it’s down to poor tactics etc. Otherwise, how can Sevco get away without conceding? Is it on account of their world class CBs Goldson, Katic and Edmundson (a guy signed from Oldham!)? Of course not, it’s tactics, formation and managerial input.
I treated the Europa almost as a distraction after the cl exit. Wins kept me interested and we should have gone further…had we been capable of basic defending.
Hope we’re not talking about errors in a big euro tie come August but I expect we will.
We must go out in the summer and sign another Julien.
Like I said about French Eddy it is a double edged sword.
Brilliant performances against good teams earn huge transfers.
Call Mac like French Eddy greatly increased their chances of remaining Celtic players next season with their showing tonight.
Both played as poorly as I have seen when it mattered most.
Love them both..not having a go.
Cluj went through easily against Sevilla tonight. Not so bad after all
AN DUN
Exactly and there’s the concern. It’s all very well people saying that they don’t care much for the EL, this was just a bad day at the office etc but my biggest fear is that this thread may look very similar in August after a similar performance at the back costs us another crack at the CL.
We need at least two centre-backs and Lennon, for all his sterling work this season, needs to make us hard to beat when required.
THE HANDS CANT HIT WHAT THE EYES CANT SEE
Neil should learn from this and go a lot more compact in Europe.
He played the Glasgow Celtic way tonight and I’m afraid that means defensive howlers.
CELTIC40ME
Are you sure? BBC says they went out on away goals.
It’s gutting to see how many teams that we’d fancy our chances against are left in the tournament.
Still, a very good season in Europe in Lenny’s first full season back.
Second place in the champions league group next season.
Unfortunately history has overtaken us….and certainly me.
You see I am normally always banging the European drum.
However this year my only priority is league title number nine on the trot.
Next season will be all about the ten
Regardless of what happens in Europe.
LAZYDYNAMITE
Agreed but if we win the ten, or heaven forbid they stop us, do we then start making more of a fist in Europe or is domestic domination all that matters in this day and age?

Wouldn’t judge McGregor if he wanted to leave after the 10.

——–
Thought he ran out of gas in the second half, first half he was immense, everywhere, pressing, darting and causing them problems. He is normally Brown’s legs in the engine room, however tonight he was a one man midfield. Brown was miles and miles off it, couldn’t run and couldn’t press, and lost duels and runners for fun. He sat far too deep and when he got the ball didn’t know what to do with it other than turn back. Hopefully its because he is carrying an injury still.
It’ll take a while to get my head around that one let alone get over it. Suppose the only thing to say is some home truths hit us again tonight – an organised team which is up for it can cope with us and over run broony on his own; if that’s what you pay, that’s what ya get; we don’t know what we want out of Europe; over the two legs, we didn’t deserve to go through; it’s difficult to manage our superiority (complex) in the spfl and play against half decent professionals.
DAVID66 on 27TH FEBRUARY 2020 10:53 PM
If there is ever a time for urgency its when you need a goal .
The casual approach in that situation is self defeating and soul destroying .
The C.L. ? Yes please.
Need a more robust defence .
Ron, I’m having trouble picking 3 for Jobo & no Julien won’t make the 3 but for me he was better than Jozo & Ajer at the back. With 2 of the back four playing poorly it created great pressure on the other two.
Julien on a game to game basis is our best defender, He has also scored 7 goals a few of them key scores.
If he has a bad game which of course he can, OK criticise him but you just single him out every game as Bhoylo said a bit weird.
French Eddie had a very poor game tonight but he is still our best player.
GEEBEE1978 on 27TH FEBRUARY 2020 10:59 PM
My mistake, I was looking at the wrong line of the results on BT sport
GEEBEE1978 on 27TH FEBRUARY 2020 11:03 PM
I am strictly refering to the supporters NOT the team.
I am confident that the celtic team make every competition a priority.
I actually think this european season has been a blast.
Some great wins,entertainment and promise.
We actually went out tonight in familure imploding style but the stuff that went before was the best in the last 10 seasons for me.
Just watched their third goal again… Ajer managed to make 3 weak attempts to win the ball in the course of that particular shambles. He’s a smashing player on the ball and I’ll take that in exchange for the winner at Pittodrie, but he’s a liability as a defender too often. Memories of AEK Athens. He’d be one I’d take money for in the summer. One of the ones Big Pedro likes to fatten for market.
Cluj went out on away goals to a far better team Sevilla team.
A Sevilla team that no doubt kept their heads and didn’t implode when managing a 0-0 at home to see themselves through.
Celtic40me.
Are you sure about Cluj. I thought Sevilla went through.
