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.

In most cases the language used on Rangersmedia is foul,even when they are happy which is seldom these days
The following is one of the mildest
Ok, too lazy to read all of the previous posts but I’ve been saying to the boys sitting next to me at Ibrox that Warburton has been found out. Last season the big tactical decisions were against Hibs and Falkirk. All 4 away games we got found out. IMO this season has been a repeat. All we’ve had to deal with so far is teams who will finish in bottom 6. if we play like those previous away games at I fear the worst at parkheid.

Gordon64, is tomorrow a full house at paradise?
Jailbird Joey also getting battered by the hun rabble on hunmedia. He,s being called an imposter. I,m pretty sure we told the braindead fackwits that jailor Joe was a tim.
Yup, he is a total imposter.
—————————————————-
Not just there. Here’s Tom English on BBC website :
“Barton was ineffective again, his main involvement being on the end of the terrible tackle that earned Killie teenager Taylor a red card just after the hour.
The Englishman was anonymous. Wasteful in possession, passive as a defensive midfielder and a non-event going forward. Eventually he was replaced by Niko Kranjcar. He walked to the bench, shaking his head as he went.”
Ouch! Tee-hee!!! :-))
CorkCelt, Paolo is indeed a Tim.
On seeing Rod Stewarts stage, a Celtic Crest, he commented, ” I gotta get me one of them!!!!”
It was recorded in a documentary on Paolo.
Acgr Should be a big crowd tomorrow. Playing our nearest rivals on a Saturday with a 3 o’clock ko. No excuses for not being at CP. Hh

It’ll be really difficult but I’ll do my best.

Think his visit to paradise affected him in a good way, still
prattling on about it and i think he just wants to be there
to join the GB.
Hope his team make the playoffs, big change from last year
when they were getting drubbings 9-1 and 8-0 but great
credit to the coaches ( all Celtic minded ) for turning a bunch
of lads some who had never played soccer before into a good
team.

I’ll be kicking every ba’ fae 400 miles away. And I reckon I’ll still be more effective than apparently Barton was tonight(!)
Check Craigans face.

With all due respect I reckon your da would be more effective than Barton tonight ( your Da after a few pints in the Grave Diggers by the way)
Natknow…..
And. tom English is fecking twat!!!
Hahahaha…..
If …and it is a good sized if….they get through the season…they will be fortunate to get into the top half…
Schadenfreude is braw…
Braw.
Warbo says he took Barton off because he had been booked and it was ‘that type of game’. If he can’t trust him against 10 man Killie what chance has he got when his team are being shredded at CP.
WITS -I was just having a giggle at the self same forum. Abusive language and insulting each other seems par for the course. Our little spats on here are tame in comparison and most definitely civilised!!!
It’s a cess pit of a site.
And they are really not as closed to the reality of the crappiness of their team than I had thought.
I’d given warbs until Christmas before he was being pilloried. I was 4 months late.

I decided it’s not worth it. He is what he is, I am what I am and ne’r the twain shall meet.
I hope you’re well, the real HT :-)
Melbourne Mick
My wee yin has stated for years she has no interest in football, inadvertently she is going into school (p4) telling the bhoys in the class about BR and who her dad wants in the CL, sometimes if you sit back they find their own path to the hoops….by the way much to her sevconians mums amusement, give them a good grounding no hatred just the hoops and everything else with fall into place
Let us know how the wee bhoys team go in the play-off
Can’t believe they didn’t start lescott of RVP.
What’s that you say?
Oh aye I remember now………

Agree- English is a twat!
If they end up in the bottom half they’ll explode. :-))

I have been lurking over there since admin ( on and off) enjoying their pain
What struck me is the language.even on a good day for them its all F and C and any sweary word you can imagine.
If any ” sensible” rangers fan trys to post something even remotely fair mined ..its F*** Off ya Fenian C***
Mad but you see why they sleep walked to disaster….At least they have a real rangers man in charge now !!!
Just bought tickets for celtic the musical at the pavillion theatre glasgow any other cqn,ers going to watch it ?
WITS,
did you have a look at the race i mentioned,
finished fifth but beat less than a length
Implosion imminent. Sevco not only have a dodgy roof, the foundations are pretty shabby too. Metaphorically speaking……
Gordybhoy
Yes I backed it each way,ran well,very close
Fancy anything tomorrow
I like Muthimir ( fav in the bullet sprint at Beverley ) and Baby Jake at Cartmel
Watched Huns against a poor 10 man Killie … They will finish 4th at best
That’s a right cowardly dirty bar steward the have signed.
FeckIn hate players who hit opponents when they are looking a elsewhere. That crab a McCulloch was cast from the same die.
Garner needs some sorting and early.
Mr Winklepicker, I mailed you a wee ringtone to distribute round the winklepicker clan.
WITS, I used yo post on there, had a lot of fun wif da hun. A thick skin was a prerequisite though. I went through dozens of monikers then they barred me at my IP level. My last moniker was “Big Silver Cup”………:_)
It lasted about five posts. Ha ha. Stupid brain dead halfwits.
Hope paradise is packed to the rafters tomorrow, really looking forward to it. I was on god’s holy sclaffbaw court today with three Aberdeen supporters I work with, they cant wait to batter the hun senseless. They also loved my Zadok ringtone:_)
Bmcupw I’m expecting a hard game tomorrow after my exertions on Wednesday night. I kicked every ball that Janko missed and chased every misplaced pass from our midfield. I now have considerably more grey hairs and probably an ulcer however I expect to be fit to go to CP after a late fitness test. Hh
Senderos medical could be a new world record?
WITS,
not really had a look yet,
will certainly have an interest in the 2 you mention,
thought it was coming to win tonight,gutted that it never even reached a place
BOURNESOUPRECIPE
Aye but can he outrun Kris Boyd:)))
Right, which wan o you bams dismay have a Zadoc the Hun Skelper tone?
Count to date is app 400 out the door. Booooooooooo. That’s just not good enough and less than half the ncount for the 2012 CL campaign. Winning Captains tells us that we have tens of thousands of posters and lurkers, they canny all have a skelp tone from my previous offerings. Cin they?
Get it here, get it here and skelp that hun in the most subtle way without even moving your lips.
HH
Well that was an unexpected result.
Who would have thought that Boyd could trundle past the Sevco defence to score?
There are a few players we need to be wary of.
Forester and Tavernier.
No free kicks around the box.
Their defenders lack pace and Killie caused them problems.
Indeed Kilmarnock were denied a stonewall penalty.
I am now relishing the prospect of Griffiths and Sinclair running past them easily and often.
Roberts on the wing will have them turning and twisting like Chubby Checker.
My only worry is the man in the middle.
You know when they say it’s a ‘small minority’ of Rangers fans who sing sectarian songs? Have they all come to Rugby Park tonight?

gordybhoy64, I called the Samsung technical help desk this morning to let them know you would be in touch with a geek type query.

I’ll be standing up for the Green Brigade tomorrow in 442. Amazing stuff by the best supporters in the world. Hh

Yes…was a bit of a sweat before the draw was made…….
ACGR,
no need for that mucker,got Lymmbhoy on speed dial now,
even managed to pass the ringtone onto a few bhoys today
