CL millions floating across Glasgow

363

Tonight, we see the conclusion of the first of two ties that don’t involve Celtic but have a significant bearing on our income and domestic competitive stance.  Union Saint-Gilloise take a 2-0 lead to Ibrox, a result that in earlier times brought an 80% success rate.  Without the away goals rule, the advantage is reduced, Union also lost heavily at the weekend.  Newco will be rightfully confident of progress.

Qualification for the Champions League play-off round is worth over £5m in prize and gate money.  Celtic stand to earn an extra £3m if Newco are eliminated at this round or the next; that money would otherwise float across Glasgow to become part of Newco’s European bounty.  More importantly, our casino-football addicted rivals would be denied expensive chips to place before the transfer window closes.  No apologies for watching CL qualification closely this year.

Just a year ago, Celtic were eliminated from the Champions League the second qualification round by Midtjylland.  The transformation between then and now could scarcely be imagined.  A year ago, it was significantly more unlikely for Newco to reach the Europa League final.  We cannot underestimate them, or the significance a Champions League windfall would have.

  1. Is Tom Lawrence not the guy who drunk drove into his pals car and left his captain unconscious with season ending injuries in the back?

    Just heard Lamont Dozier has passed- now there was a true musical giant who won’t get a mention on our news because he never wore tight leather trousers.

    Drop mair info SFTB.

  3. Belgian commentators on the ball ‘the’ rangers…sure I heard ‘newco ‘too :O)

  4. incredible luck from huns again , almost concede a penalty , few minutes later get awarded a penalty to put them back in the tie

  5. Radio Scotland really would make you absolutely vomit. Their fanboy bias is disgusting.

     

     

    It was subtle in the past few years. Now it is totally unbridled.

     

     

    Can’t believe how lucky they were again. One minute the wee team denied by a last ditch effort after a near pen. Next minute a pen to Tav.

     

     

    Not over yet though.

  6. I have to recommend Harry Rednapp on Millionaire.

     

     

    classic classic nail biting stuff, that made the show format the best it is.

     

     

    Without spoiling the outome or giving away the total,

     

     

    it is must watch tv.

    I’m heading up to Dunoon on The Waverley this Friday.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Does that count as “Doon the watter” or is there such a thing as “Up the watter”

    depends onn where you board and if the tide is coming in or going out.

    I saw Harry on “Millionaire” not long ago and he made a complete arse of himself.

     

     

    But I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.

  10. SFTB,

     

     

    Ta for that info, Didnae ken, its just knowledge after all.

     

     

    The Belgians will prevail against Cheater Club IMO.

    Not into slagging celtic supporters. Shame anyone who thinks they can.

     

    Oot.

     

    “““`

     

    And the options are what?

     

    Just suck the oldfirm ticket trick courtesy of the pro oldfirm PLC?

     

    Buy a ticket and mingle amongst the mugged Tims, telling each other how wonderful, and beautiful they are, and, they`re oh so clever, more clever than the huns, whom we’ve helped to escape the biggest sporting crime in history?

     

    What?
