Celtic have received some clarity concerning their first Champions League qualifying round opponents after this week’s first leg results in qualifying round two. The five matches that could provide an opponent for Celtic all produced hot favourites to progress.
Sheriff Tiraspol, who won away in Armenia, are 22 games into their league campaign and top the Moldovan table. HJK Helsinki, who won 7-0 on Tuesday night’s Champions League qualifier, are joint top in Finland after 17 games.
All other expected opponents won 3-0 at home in the first leg. Neftchi Baku are top of the Azerbaijan league after 16 games. Molde are two points off the pace in Norway after 15 games. AEL Limassol are Celtic’s only potential opponents who have yet to start their campaign.
If Celtic are to progress to the group stage they will have to overcome stiffer opposition than any of these teams in the final qualifying round, so we should look forward to a stiff test.
Loved the We are Celtic Supporters video from Celtic TV (below). Great quotes from Jimmy McGrory, Tommy Burns, Billy McNeill, Paul McStay, Jock Stein and the original “<insert name> is more than a football club” from Sir Robert Kelly, a few decades before it was picked up in Catelonia.

McFadden on the BBC saying he would be open to a move to Celtic, not for me, not good enough.
A big commanding CB, I’d be happy at that. Anything else is a bonus.
Wonkyradar @ 18.24,
Surely some Timposter taking the p**s?
COME ON CELTIC!!

Bonjour bon ami….
Don’t know the French for hun! :-)
Doc
He’s not good enough and he’s had his chance. Not for me.
Neftchi Baku.
Them.
The ones that sound like a Shetland drunbk swearing at you in Gaelic – that’s who we want in CL Q2.

Lads, quick question… where are you getting the CQN badges from?
HT @ 19.16,
How about boche?
McFadden? Five years ago, yes. No way now.
St Johnstone 2-0 down..
Esk 1 St J 0
60mins
Invercelt
That would work!!
68 minutes played 2-0 to Turks. Co-efficient takes another pounding….

Two elves known as CRC and Bundoran make them in a flat in a multi story in Sighthill.
You need to be a very good bhoy if you’re to get one though :-)

The average hun is just too easy to fool. Yes they have that pugnaciously inbuilt rabid suspicion for everybody that isn’t a frantic bigot but that is easily accommodated for by sprinkling your posts with a few routine hun phrases…tarrier, taig, never giving Celtic credit for anything, insinuating yourself into their paranoid conspiratorial world-view that the hidden fenian hand is everywhere…once you mimic them it is easy to coax them out of their shadowy lair and once that is done you are at liberty to psychologically torment them at will…yes after a time it does become a little tedious but still it passes an hour or so when you want to amuse yourself with a little sport.

Re. Lennoxtown gunman.
Absolutely disgraceful. 100hrs Community Service for being ‘stupid’. He lost his army career so he’s been punished enough.
Sound familiar ?
Hail hail
Mon the hoops 1888
Corner for Esk
boy deliberately passes it 2yrs out of play as St J had had a player on the ground injured beforehand
nicely done
as the lads say, 2-0 now
possibly deserved
hamiltotim, agreed, we seem to have hit on a formula of getting in young players and adding value, and in more of a hit fashion rather than hit or miss. Some won’t lie up to the standard we’re looking for, but it seems to be working okay.
Italibhoy, agreed, five years ago yes, not now.

Hi Luxcelt
Interested in your article as I live in Carlisle is this team actually based in Carlisle? I will try and find out. Having lived here for many a year I have to say it is a bigger hun town than probably most of Scotland. Makes me sick. I have been fighting a one-man battle here for many a year.

Wonky…..you are mad but I like it !!!
82 minutes still 2-0.
When their house of cards starting falling down one by one they said it was all a taig fantasy and timternet bampottery. Then they said they would NEVER go bust, it could NEVER happen to the mighty Rankers. When it did, they would be out of administration in no time at all. Besides the establishment would bail them out. Salmond and Cameron would come to the rescue. Then they would never go into liquidation. A Unionist government, the SNP, the SFA/SPL, everybody or anybody would surely save them in their parlous situation…maybe even a billionaire hun would come riding overly the hill. Then they would never be punished for anything because they are the Rangers. And they would never be put in the Third Division because they were too big for to fail…bladibladibladibla…now they won’t lose their titles during the EBT years…I can see a pattern evolving…

Houl’yer weesh
Just read your post from last page.
Thanks for highlighting Gerard’s story. Please keep us updated on the matter. I cannot imagine what his family have went through since his murder.
FC Metalurg Donetsk 7 : FK Celik 0 now.
Troops, .This question may have been asked but here goes……Are the buns allowed to wear the “oldco” kits for the coming season?
Discussed this with a….. ahem…… Gers pal today and he seems to think they will.
THE CROYBHOY
Aye,but only in children’s sizes.

Celtic Nation were formerly Gilford Park. You can check them out on Google/Wikapedia.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
If they can’t then they don’t really have enough time to get a kit out there. Having said that they don’t have a squad, license…………I think having no strips is the last thing they need to worry about!!!
