New Uefa seeding rules this year mean that teams in Champions League Pot 2 have a higher aggregate coefficient value than teams in Pot 1. So Barcelona (we’re bound to avoid them now they look a little lost), Atletico, PSG, Borussia Dortmund and the Manchester twins. Only Sevilla and Porto would provide some comfort, the latter, in particular.
From Pot 1 we could do worse than our old friends Spartak Moscow (18 coefficient points), although Shakhtar Donetsk, Benfica and Monaco would be decent draws.
As our primary objective is to remain in Europe after Christmas, the real battleground for Celtic is in Pot 3. I’d proverbially bite your hand off for Olympiakos, Anderlecht or Besiktas, even Basel would be acceptable. Prefer to avoid the Italians of Napoli and Roma, as well as Liverpool.
Remember, don’t go booking flights before the final confirmation of dates is concluded.

3 match package was £99 last year i think, would imagine it would be somewhere between £99 and £105 this time around.
Can’t see more than two signings and would be happy with that so long as paddy is one and it is permanent
We got mugged in Kazakhstan cause we had no central defenders that is hopefully not going to be an issue going forward
No team in europe would have an easy ride if three of their main central defenders were missing. I recall man u having cunt of a time cause of it, but everyone was sympathetic. Perspective needed.
Go thing money does not burn a hole in Pete’s pocket as £60 million in two years for european football must be a little tempting even for him ffs

……are saying……
Moussa – offski undisclosed fee, hence the reason why we’ve been sniffing aroon two strikers !!!
HooowwwOooooooollllll……oot.

Scott Brown should take the sting out of his wee feud with Neymar and say he´s the greatest.
===========================================
Scott Brown should sting that wee fud Neymar and tell him he’s a dead man diving.
Fixed that for you.
I don’t think Moussa’a for the off now, KevJ.
He trolled the Huns in a tweet the other night and today’s draw will have him and Sam jackson delighted to get Paris.
poor Kev, glad you are well, but still a troll as ever, take some joy in your team mate hh
Moussa for the off?
Injured and out til the New Year?
Not very likely is it?
Champions League draw, a good day for bad news for Celtic.
Which is more likely?
KevJ
it’s worse than that- Tierney’s going too. And Tom Rogic is homesick for Oz. Simunovic needs to play for a Bosnian club to get into their national team. Craig Gordon’s going to Chelsea because of the criticism he got for Astana. Paddy Robert’s no coming because Kieran has gone.
Our 3 pm press conference tomorrow is to announce an extension to Peter’s heated driveway.
How am I doing?
Delaneys.
You still on for babbity bowsers after the game on Saturday.
By the way if you prefer somewhere else I don’t mind
So did we win the draw?
Hearing Messi on his way to replace Dembelev who is off to Pollok United.
KT signing for the Ants.

No matter where you go within Celtic Park, and I have noved 3 times in the pst 15 years, you will find yourself not far from “that guy”.
The one who can take no pleasure at all from Celtic and spends all his time spreading negativity about the game.
Even at the recent 5:0 hammering of AstanaI I had to listen to this guy shouting the following
15 minutes in- James Forrest has already supplied a great cross to Leigh and has looked lively but Tom Rogic breaks up the inside right channel and James hugs the touchline as per Brendan’s instructions. Tom is tackled and loses the ball leading to Mr. Negativity shouting “Haw Forrest! Gonnie get involved in the game son!”
30 minutes in – to be fair we are all a bit tense by now but while Tom Rogic’s dancing feet sends the rest of us into ecstasy- he is busy telling evrybody that “we are lucky- that shot was not going in- Rogic messed up and the Astana guy bailed him oot”
43 minutes in- we are all celebrating the 2nd goal when Astana break upfield on a not very threatening attack so Mr. Sunshine shouts out- “Awe Naw- this is where they score now”
60 minutes – We are all wildly clebrating goal number 3 and in a rare moment of insight he says “I never saw that coming” but before optimism can overtake him he adds “We don’t deserve it- we’ve played shit”/
70 minutes gone- Unable to cope with the absence of misery he leaves the stadium, I kid you not and misses 2 further goals.
I bet he loved the away leg when for 7 first half minutes and for all of the 2nd half until the 80th minute, Celtic did their best to fulfill his expectations.
oh no, just heard that @kev1888jungle1967reallyabhoy.naeseatinginthejungle.theboardareallhuns has said that Brendan is away, this guy is never wrong
Old john mills film just fi ished..hw bought first tv……. And watched huns e against us…..film 71…not sure of game….we core. A bit later

Sipsini and I will love to meet you in BB post match mate.
Hope Jonny Hayes plays and scores against Saint John’s Toon.
Up the Dubs!

I know that guy…
Playing an SPL team at home in the Ronny era, shooting in to the Jock Stein, goal kick to the opposition, Forrest playing right wing positioned at the North stand, who that guy has been giving pelters to all game, gets subbed for McGregor. As he’s running on the keeper takes the goal kick to the left back, and that guy starts screaming at McGregor for not closing him down quick enough. Less than 3 seconds Callum had been on the park, and some walloper is giving him dogs abuse for not having the speed of Usain Bolt. A few of us around him burst out laughing at the absurdity of it all, what wasn’t funny is his 12ish year old kid would parrot him with the same pish, albeit in a squeaky voice.
If you don’t get any enjoyment out if it, what are you doing there?
Anyway, draw could have been better could have been worse. All eyes in planet fitba are currently focused on Neymar. Winning Ligue 1 won’t cut it, they’re all in for the Champions League. Where does that Champions League campaign kick off? In Glasgow, Celtic Park under the lights. That’s box office, and it’s what we do best.

I have moved seats 5 times since 1995.
Currently in 102 North Stand Lower.
Bhoys are full of positivity around me. Have found my home, which is the place I watched in the Jungle from 1975 onwards till the new stand was built. Negativity is slapped down quick in 102.
DD
Any spare seats?
Aff tae ma bed now
Has Neymar been on the end of a defeat yet at Celtic Park?
Third time lucky then,he’s due one.
Wee song for the wee nyaff.

Blinkin’ flip. He sounds like a good yin.
I recall a game at Love St about 1990. This choob was absolute cruelty,so bad my Dad,sis and I decided we would move at half time.
No need. A big fella came over,says-“the lads decided to have a whipround for a tenner for you to eff off.
Yer no’ getting the tenner,but eff off anyway.”
Ah,memories.
SFTB and DD
I’m having a wee chuckle to myself about how you are whinging about whiners.

Haven’t been on much lately, not sure if this video has been posted previously.
Interesting to hear Brendan say fitness of the players would need a big improvement for his style of play when he took over from Ronnie.
RD and JC were big on fitness,diet etc, surprised the players Brendan inherited were lacking in these departments.
Good recap of an amazing season.

I prefer to criticise the whingers than the Bhoys on the pitch. :)

I have asked my Bavarian friend to get me 12 tickets. 4 will be for your family. He and his family are Season Ticket holders in the Allianz Arena. He thinks he can help us. I have guaranteed him his ticket in Paradise for the return match. Get my mobile number fae Blantyre Tim.

Small’ world mate. When I’m home I sit in 102 lower.
Row (would you believe) DD. Great view.
Really jealous of you and Sips heading for Munich :-)
Raining in Glasgow…who cares ?
Hurtin huns not only still rummaging thru Celtic fans dustbins for our scraps…..but getting soaked whilst doing so !
Magic.
Thanks be to God that I was born a Tim.
HH
As we are due to play in Govan 3/4 days before travelling to Anderlecht…..wonder if Brendan will just send our young Bhoys to Ipox to despatch those pesky hun bassa’s with ease, and no Scott Brown to attack ?
HH
As for diving, cheating Heymar….just get Jozo to do a Kenny miller on him from the off…he will soon disappear.
HH
JJ getting a few points across today…

In all seriousness, this is the sort of thing you would see in North Korea or some South American dictatorship. It is propaganda and bribery by another name. In, Iraq Sadaam Hussein had thousands of statues erected which bore his figure, the same thing happened in the old Soviet Union with Lenin and Stalin.
They have real delusions of grandeur, everything is huge size and plastered and designed to delight some and enrage others. I have contacted Arnold to see if Celtic have broken any commercial rules or sports transactions. It really does depend on WHO permitted this to go ahead. In all seriousness, these images are contentious as political or religious parades as they evoke such strong passions among many.
………………………………………..
Whilst having a whole thread about our superb billboards on Filth Filth, some of those mankie racist huns are posting that ” Celtic fans are obviously obsessed with THEM etc”
Obviously the huns don’t do irony ?
They are also upset with Sky advertising with a photo of The Griff, and are calling HIM a racist ?
Some of THEM have pointed out that there were Nike billboards in Glasgow showing Wattie during THEMs NIAR…saying 9/10///must do better.
But when we Celts advertise our success…THEM accuse Celtic of ” lacking class” ?
And no,…I am not making this up.
Those huns are hurtin big time.
