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.

Arrested for wearing T_shirts.Dear God.
The biggest acts of terrorism ever were the acts carried out by America and Britain.The Atomic bomb attacks on the two cities,the Napalm attacks on Cambodia,and the fire bombing of Dresden,seemingly OK.
Stars and Stripes,and Butchers Aprons,on your T_shirts,fine..
What kind of a world are we living in.?.
I know,I know,but you get my drift.
Champions League bingo on CQN, eyes down for 4 corners.
I— Beat them at home and draw away and we can finish 3rd.
2—- Group of death again ffs.
3—– We better get some decent defenders in before we play them.
4—– What’s the cut off date for registering players for the group stages…….

Exactly. Pity we lost 2 of them recently.

I believe the deceased was discovered in his loft.
Seriously? That would be part of his hoos then right? Or ama missing something? :))
PS a don’t give a fek who we get bring it on.
Looking at the share price which is approximately 127.25 at the moment.
The price took off in August from about 102 on the 7th of Aug.
Through April, May, June, July the price went from about 94 to 107.
In April and May there was a large increase in Values Traded to 53m (£)?)…Value Traded Monthly Tab.
Over the previous seven months the Values Traded averaged = 4.2m per month.
In April/May, the share price averaged at 95.
Given today’s price hovering around 130.
Say 30% increase in Share Price from the date of those trades…in April and May.
53m (value traded) x 30% = 15.9m
The 53m in value, traded in April and May, today is valued at approximately… 68.9m
Therefore to my amateur eye, a lot of money/value has been made/lost by someone from April/May to August.
Or is there another explanation I am unaware of?

To those of us that keep referring to Progres, we need to understand that this, apparently, is causing Sevco supporting intellectuals many moments of laughter as, in our moments of glory, we can’t stop thinking about them…
So, in effect, we could sing all day about them being so rubbish but they win the moral high ground?
Aye, do yeez?
It appears that some of them just can’t get enough either.

Couple of hours to go till we find out who we get in the CL group stages,last year Leicester City drew Porto,Brugge and Copenhagen,a group equivalent to that would suit me down to the ground and give us the best chance of progres to the latter stages of the competition

Yep.I went to see them,in the Apollo with my brother who was a drummer himself,and adored Carl Palmer.at the end of the gig,he came to the front and threw his sticks into the crowd.My brother caught one.Still has it to this day.Never missed them,King Crimson,Yes.All legends to me.
And I think they were all Celtic fans,LOL.

I remember at the time someone tweeted that the group sounded like “An Easy Jet”ad.

I am not disputing the poor man was found dead in his “hoos”.
Merely pointing out the apartment his remains were found.
Now go and start an argument with someone else.
Its what you do……………or is that dooo?

“We are all doomed,doomed ,ah tell yies,doooooommmmmeeeeedddd.
I do hope I haven’t jinxed the draw…
I got Real, Dortmund and Napoli in the predictor.
All in all, I’d prefer we got Real or Bayern from Pot 1 as it near guarantees they’ll take maximum points from everyone else, leaving in effect a group of three teams, 2 of which will progress to one competition or the other.
A balanced draw would give us a decent chance.
PHILBHOY on 24TH AUGUST 2017 2:38 PM,
Do ,or DOO,apartments have lofts?
Or are they commonly known as”Upstairs living room”.
I got Monaco Man City and Besiktas in the predictor in Group F. Hmmmm.
TURKEYBHOY
The upstairs apartment of course!
Don’t know what is going on with shares – but I have been called a couple of times recently by Asians (Malaysia?) enquiring about my Celtic shares.
I know that people have dismissed these enquiries as ‘scams’ – but I am not sure in what respect?
Maybe there is indeed a demand that is currently outstripping the supply – I wonder why?

£53m shares would represent about half the market capitalisation.
“Prices expressed in the currency of the instrument. The currency can be found on the Summary tab next to the price.”
It is 53m pence – GBX not GBP.

Tim Malone,
If you wanted to sell there are plenty of legitimate ways to do so. Personally I wouldn’t have anything to do with firms that proactively chase my business.
With a 30% increase in the value of your shares across such a small time frame, it will attract all types of hawkers sadly.
Till Later
