Celtic will play three familiar opponents in the Champions League group stage: Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow. We have a mixed recent record against Barcelona, eliminating them from the Uefa Cup in 2004, but finishing behind them in the Champions League group stage in the autumn of that year. Barca also knocked Celtic out of the Champions League in the round of 16 in 2008. The Camp Nou is the only ground Celtic have managed to avoid defeat on away Champions League duty.
Gordon Strachan’s Celtic eliminated Benfica from the Champions League group stage in 2007 and again in 2008. They also got the better of Aiden McGeady’s current team, Spartak Moscow , in the Champions League play-off round in 2007.
It is a difficult group for Celtic but each of their opponents will be wary of the Celtic.

Definitely no. Nothing against his character or application but not good enough first time around in my opinion. As MWD posted, never go back…
Although I do hear Stephen is still very highly thought of.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

And they score

I live in the London area and was thinking about the possibilities of perhaps taking my son to a CL home game.
He is starting college next week, so not too sure of the practicalities yet (it might not pan out) – but wondered if anyone would be potentially interested in splitting a 3 match package for two tickets?
I would be happy with any match – but probably have a preference for either Benfica or Barca.
As I say, not too sure if it will work out at all – but is anyone out there possibly interested?
Oh dear, what a howler from Reina
4 games in Europe and no goals……
The electric can take down the kid on well flags now

We are a Glasgow club. Last time I checked that is in Scotland. Instead of moaning about it most clubs are going back to basics and trying to improve our future players.
what station is the hearts game on?
it’s a season of firsts right enough
Just celebrated a Hearts goal!!
Howler from Reina. Allows a shot from Templeton to squeeze under his body. 1-0 Hearts
Bye bye to getting Templeton now Fatso
I hate hearts but it would be great to have another team in Europe.
Tallybhoy –
Thanks mate. I understand what you mean.
…Can’t wait for the glamour friendlies………………..
Bank the money Celtic…………

thoughts…
Del Piero: That would be interesting. When he plays he still looks really classy but he doesn’t last through high tempo physical games. Still has phenomenal touch just phenomenal – and the refs coddle him like a favourite child. I’m not sure how we would play him even in Europe… In the Commons role? A tad unfair on Kris who has doen the business in 4 Euro legs this year already. So some website says we are favourite? I’ll be honest if I was a 37 year old guy from a nice hot country – not a Celtic fan or Scottish – I’d rather spend a year on holiday in Switzerland – so we’ll see.
Boly: Yeah totally. By all accounts a strong quick CB. Mulgrew is covering CB, LB and a midfield berth. Either of Rogne or Wilson is always injured so such a CB is a must.
Connor Wickham: Why? Isn’t he exactly like Tony Watt? Maybe he is better I dunno but if we are going for a striker I would have thought it would be someone that was a 1st pick as right now Commons is playing a deep striker and I don’t see Del P playing every week.
Russell: The price would have to be right. He is a decent player but you reckon that because it is us D Utd will ask for more than he is worth. Surely we aren’t desperate?
Suarez equalises. Hearts broken

Gol Liverpool
Racist scores for Liverpool
Oh what a shame 4 the diet huns
that Uruguayan prick
Never imagined me saying this but, Come on Hearts!!!!!!
oooooohhh. come on Hearts!
Oh no, they scored before I wrote that., I wanted another blow for the Armgeddon theory. Oh well
I’ve been touting young Templeton as a more determined winger with more goals in him than Makay-Stevens but I don’t know if Celtic need him with James Forrest, Dylan McGeoch and Paul George being such talents.
What I do know is that he would be wasting his career to take his developing form downhill with Sevco.
Just watched the game AGAIN ….Hoops was level with Sammi when the camera paused at ‘impact’ point ….. Not, therefore, offside…..

Awwwwwwww Suarez Fxdfkfdck
