Exciting day as we await the Champions League Group Stage draw! Ideally, I would like to go to Frankfurt (already have the Tshirt), Seville and Lisbon. Whoever we get, this level of competition will be a new level for much of the current squad.
There is no point sugar coating what happened last night. After achieving remarkably in the Europa League last season, Newco again defined my expectations and progressed to the group stage of the Champions League for the first time. The money that will now flow into Ibrox, on top of last season’s earnings and cash from sales over the summer, should put them on a solid financial footing for the first time.
They are a strong and effective team, underestimate them at your peril.

Celtic could get 2nd 3rd or be last, but a good draw mix of glamour and teams we have a chance against, Madrid could be sold out twice over and great to see Carlo Ancelotti coming back to Celtic Park, he has a lot of respect for Celtic.
I’ll have a P bob ….
Honestly just throw everyone in a big firepit and draw everyone out randomly
How are Shaktar getting to play nowadays ?
Ajax 1 after 3
Napoli 1 after 2
Just checked they are playing in Kyiv wonder how that will work out for tickets!
Summary for me:
Not too easy, not too hard.
Same for huns, so we can drop the lucky hun thing and enjoy all 12 ties through green glasses.
Easy travelling, think Shaktar will play in Poland.
Think Donesk play in Poland this year. The schedule of these games could be vital, playing Madrid last in the group will be a great benefit.
Easy peasy. We’ll moida da bums.
Settle for that.

Have to be reasonably happy to avoid C and H…and any English team …..funny when Liverpool fans boo the huns singing GSTQ…ha ha…….I’d definitely have taken those draws before hand….quite up beat again after last night ….I’m hoping for shaktar away first …
As oft heard at Airdrie Palais in the 60s.
“Come on. We’ll take you all on.”
When I hear the Forge mentioned, I still automatically think of the factories, as St Michael’s Church and Primary School were right next to them, when I was a wee bhoy. (And for those who knew the old Parkhead: the coffin work as well.)
Ajax casuals back in Glasgow, what can go wrong.
Delighted with the draw. Last time we played Madrid, I was just about to get married. 😁. Shakhtar, will be neutral venue. I think we have a chance of second or third.
Remember the last 2 Madrid games in the CL only 40 odd years ago , how the Clyde Coast bus made it to Madrid only god knows
George McCluskey scuffed a shot wide early o. The 6 yard live could have been different!

Liverpool, Amsterdam and Naples. What could possibly go wrong😁
I hope we do well, of course, in the CL but I am wary of the draw. I hope I am well wrong but I feel the deid team have had a better draw than us. Here’s hoping Liverpool discover some form before they meet.
EKBHOY
first European cup away game for me , was that high up in the gods could hardly make the players out.
ZD1
Very true sit back and enjoy.
Cracking Group, a chance,harder groups were there…
Shaktar will be in Warsaw. What a result for Mr, Z
Think Mr.Z might find a lot of friends from Glasgow that he won’t remember meeting before.
I see Fun for Celtic Supporters, Riots for Huns.
Overall a good draw for Celtic, there will be nothing easy but we have a chance,
I don’t think rangers have been that lucky this time….marking the groups off I didn’t want A…..if you’re playing a team at a nuetral venue for an away game that’s a huge plus !!
Wonderful that our younger generation are going to witness Real Madrid in the flesh. Just as we did over 40 years ago.

442 –
I propose you mean proposed here rather than
‘It was probably Fergus who proposd the idea.’
“““““`
Yeah, if not wee sainted Fergus, then DD, PL, etc.
What a cast to choose from eh?
PS I did say `cast` not `caste` you know what these wokers are like, rainbow hair, Krankie tattooed on each cheek of their ass, thinking that David can become De-liela, spitting on God`s face, etc, what does God know about humans, etc, and other guff, or is it it trash, etc.
Take care.

Not bad. Leipzig didn’t look up to much against the horribles, although they’ve signed a few players including Werner since then so they may be a different proposition
Shakhtar Donetsk have hardly played any competitive football for a while, and sold some first teamers. Dynamo Kyiv finished just behind them in the league and got gubbed off a not great Benfica team in the qualifiers if that means anything
Third should be a possibility
quick return for bassey
Tiddletoddlcfc
RM apart I think they’re the sort of opposition we could do well against
Leipzig are very well organized at the expense of a bit of flair which might not suit us but they looked quite easy to get at against the Huns
Haw, Del…….!!!
Del?………Flat Earth ‘n’at…………
monotonous, insistent nuggetry……..
:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
fun oot!

Best Pot ive seen tonight
If Ange parks the bus & hits on the break – we might be pleasantly surprised.
If Ange plays his SPFL `Ange ball` malarkey = worse than BR gubbings.
If Ange tries the 2nd option the huns will win the treble3 and `a` Europa trophy.
That isn’t trolling – its refusing to sleep at the wheel.
🍀✊🏻🟩⬜🟨👀
Given the draw we should hopefully be fighting for 2nd place in the group, failing that 3rd would do ;-))

I just cannae wait for the games to commence.
2 CL games in possibly 6 days makes this mental.
BTW £129 is a well pitched price for the 3 game package.
And we have been under no stress this early part of the Season. Unlike so many before.
Praise the Lord the thugs @ County are out of Our Cup game.
Madrid are not the fastest team and are in transition with an aging squad.
Ancelotti knew that before Liverpool final and worked out best way to beat them was not to invite the press. Take note, Ange 🧐😜
