Christopher Jullien was 26 years old when Celtic paid Toulouse €8m for him four years ago. We paid PSG even more a year earlier for Odsonne Edouard, then 20. It is France, not England or Japan, that Celtic feel confident enough to spend their highest transfer fees.
Compared to England, Germany, Italy and Spain, Celtic possibly see better value in France. €8m would get you little more than a huge gamble in some of these markets. The possibility of returning to France for a player valued in the same bracket as Christopher and Odsonne, who matches our age and development opportunity profile, makes a lot more sense than picking up players on Kieran Tierney’s wages.
The English FA responded to a mistake in the Manchester United – Wolves game by their Video Assistant Referees last night by the Head of Refereeing apologising to the Wolves manager and suspending both VARs. They acted in a similar fashion last year.
Mistakes happen, referees and VARs are fallible, it is unnecessary to pretend otherwise. The SFA would walk VAR technology off a cliff rather than hold their hands up to a mistake made in review.

how the hell servette are not 2/3 up shows how shite they are!
This mob are fecking murder. We will destroy this bunch of journeymen.
Brendan’s hoops will tear this lot apart. 😃👍🇮🇪🍀🏆🏆🏆
Good grief how honking are these two teams
I can only get the PSV game on tv – if huns survive Servette, the Dutch will be ready for them.
Currently 6-2 on aggregate @ HT
Danilo has to be the first Brazilian I’ve seen that can’t control a ball with his first touch. 😂😂😂
Sevco revert to the two keepers format
The hun tops look like sweetie wrappers. 😂
Dinamo Zagreb, with alleged Celtic target Dominik Livaković in goals, currently 1 – 0 up in their first leg v. AEK Athens.
The talk is iF he is coming to us it is not until after Zagreb finalise their position in Europe.
McCann and Mutton’s faces at half time. 😂😂😂😂
Have they not suffered enough
Huns pushing up the back line to squeeze the midfield but Servette craftily punting it over the top look danger ous.
Hopefully , Huns become even more disjointed second half and will run out 3-0 losers
Whit aboot the co efficient
What?
Halftime and NO penalties to Rangers?
Bloody foreigners….
Servette are truly awful .Sevco clueless .
Well, as I feared the Servette are absolutely dreadful……….but should be 3 up.
Their defence were like rabbits in headlights in first 5/10 minutes, but seem to have settled, which is encouraging. Their midfield however, has more holes than a Swiss cheese.
Finely balanced game.
TavPen knackered after 30 minutes.
Servette should be at least 1 goal ahead, hopefully their coach is going through the left forward for the most shocking of decisions.
IMO, both teams are woeful.
Newco can start fast but they soon descend into mediocrity. They have tried to copy Celtic’s intricate passing when trying to break down packed defences (not tonight obviously) and after the ~20 minutes they are woeful.
They have a pact wae the Devil so they may well get through tonight and get money they certainly don’t deserve.
Did I read last week that Copenhagen getting knocked out gives us more money?
2-2 with 15 mins ET to go.
Hope I remembered that right 3-2 Sparta.
Servette are 1 goal ahead. It’s 1-0 to them👍
i just hope that Servette dont lay it on a plate for Sevco tonight!!.

A tie of some financial interest to Celtic is Copenhagen (FCK) vs Prague.
FCK has a higher 10 year coefficient than Celtic. No one else on that path to the group does.
If FCK is KO’d, it’s worth another £900k to Celtic in 10-year dosh.

A captain Davis Ferguson weir would be in that dressing room calling people out. Pity our current skipper can’t even think about doing that because he’s the biggest culprit.
Oh,FFS,they love their names.Staunchness.Its a wonder there is no Sir in front.

Thanks BW – that’s it. Now 3-3 – I’ll be watching the pens if it comes to that. Wee bit conflicted due to Mo Elyanoussi and your Larsson playing for the Danes.
Two very average sides.
Rob McLean back from the dead
Oh well. I was going to switch off after 5 minutes, so to last in to the second half was surprising.
Unlikely Servette respond. They can’t string 2 passes together.
Said to Mrs TB,can you smell anything.She said no.Then I realized it was the stench coming from this Servette performance.Shocking Scottish Championship rubbish.
Cognac’s been at the Vino
Mon the Napkins.
Plenty of time.

Sevco might get through this tie simply because they are slightly less shitey than than the utterly shitey Swiss .
That was the worst corner ever.
AEK 2 1 ahead in Zagreb
Swiss speciality seems to be passing the ball out of play
Yeah they are not great.
Looks a packed stadium as well.
The Swiss will do it,
Sevco look like an 80s team

Wee todd is too light for football it seems.
Gust of wind and he’s gone or is he a complete cheat being encouraged by other cheats to cheat?

Copenhagen thru on pens – bang goes the extra cash there.
AEK win 2 1 in Zagreb with home leg to come
