Let’s be honest with each other, there’s a bit of a leap between our European performances in recent seasons and the standards of Champions League football. My expectations for this season’s tournament hasn’t seen me check out accommodation options in Cardiff in May.
With that in mind, if we’re going to fall short, let’s do it against genuine quality opposition, some of the best players and tactically organised teams in the business. Barcelona, Manchester City (think Pep, but with more money) and Borussia Monchengladbach will bring this to Glasgow over the next few months.
Over our 15 year Champions League lifespan, Celtic surprise on the upside more often against better teams than against relative minnows. The biggest disappointments came in Scandinavia, not Iberia.
When the group stage finishes in December, we will faced enormous challenges. Players will have stretched themselves to lengths they didn’t know existed. What we know for sure, is that none of the other three teams in our group will have wanted Celtic from Pot 4. This is a hard draw for everyone.
Huge game tomorrow. Anything less than 100% and we’ll drop points. Enjoy it.

On BT anythin to sell.its product to them.unlike auntie who thro its trust deem there is no breakage in the thread of criminality from 1988 when dave dupedmyarse tookover through to Dave ‘fasteye’ king fresh convict from south africa.

As expected red card, Killie down to 10 men.
Red for Killie player. Penalty to follow soon.
And there’s the moment we’ve been waiting for for an hour….
But, to be fair, absolutely no doubt inb my mind that that’s a straight red!
Bayern 6-0
Lewandoski penalty
Sevco equalise – cue a song about Bobby Sands?
Good effort from the killie radge.
Most Germans hate Bayern Munich.
Red card Killie.
Clancy was quick with that.
Just sorry he didn’t break Barton’s leg.
Hate to say it but that was a straight red card no question.
Garner looks and acts like a born sevconian.
Need to sub Boyd as he’s not going to run after any balls
Funny how correct game changing decisions get given to ibrox clubs.
Saor Uladh – Bayern are like the man united of Germany I suppose. Anyone but Bayern and all that. Is that the deal?
things going to plan
Oooooooft. I think that might even have been two red cards.
Dreadful challenge, red card all day long and it just about sums up the skill level in this game…
‘GG –
Now, now, don’t stoop to their levels.
MATS NILLOC
FWIW , I do not have a problem with the generality of your posts and feel that criticism of them has been over the top.

Barton finding out that it won’t be a stroll for him in the SPFL Premiership. Famine song getting big licks.
I wonder if the daily record will report the
Sectarian singing in 13 mins after it happened
“F boBBY SANDS he’s deid”
“Hullo hullo” etc
Naw ye havin a laff
DISGRACEFUL
GG
Glad Barton is fine.
Cant wait to see his humiliation at the hands of Celtic.
He has been crap against poor teams.
Watch him against the top teams.
Would not be surprised if he feigns injury to miss the Celtic game.
Total blowhard.
Killie need to bring on someone more mobile and interested than Boyd. any of the killie fans in the stand for example.
before we start the shite!
that was a horrendous challenge! referee 100% correct. facts are facts and bias is bias.
it’s when we create white noise over bias that we allow those who hate our club to say paranoid.
in my opinion!

Yeah, but the funny thing about the Germans, once Bayern are in Europe everyone gets behind them. It must be something in their psych to do with WW2. Kind of a Hun mentality – No one likes us……..
Barton hooked against ten men
Hot Smoked@9:13
I thank you for that – what a drab world it would be if we all agreed with each other HH
Watched th game up till the sectarian song book came out
So sad
Neanderthals
Kill player fined a months wages and banned for ten games by the SFA for tweeting…”first to do Barton”
I’m not saying it wasn’t a red.
Just disappointed Barton suffered no injury.
Fan-a-tic
Think Bayern might be more like the Heynckes team this season. More direct, quicker. Hummels will make them better defensively.
QF – agreed – pick our battles!!
The red was a red all day long
Their equaliser was a fantastic strike
Howewvah, come on Killie!
Defto a rid cord
Hawkshaw will be next to walk. 2 late tackles and 1 booking. Next one off I reckon.
KTF
Killie under pressure
Terrible tackle,red card all day in any game against any opposition
Now no Pope of Rome!
WTF!
Saor

Wonder if Taylor who was sent off a Tim?
The tackle would suggest he is.
Has their new boy been subbed? I thought he was making his debut?
