There is an unusually sombre tempo head of tomorrow’s Champions League last 16 tie, a consequences of the 0-3 reversal at home three weeks ago and the general sentiment around Scottish football this week, but this match is an excellent test for both manager and playing squad.
We are a Champions League team again with aspirations to achieve at this level next season. Having finally overcome the hoodoo of never having won away from home in the competition, we must use occasions like tomorrow to continue our growth in the competition.
We defended our 18-yard line in the Camp Nou and almost got away with a point. The plan was wrong in Lisbon, where a talented Benfica controlled midfield and recorded a narrow win, but the win against Spartak in Moscow was deserved.
Celtic might not be able to qualify for the quarter finals but they can win the match tomorrow; this is an achievable objective which would sweeten the inevitable medicine.

Athlone…………..the missus attends a conference up there every year…….as its over a weeknd I usually tag along – stay at the Hodson Bay. Place is so dull it makes you want to jump in!
Lopez (real keeper) looks like me in goal – a blimp blowing in a breeze !
….PFayr
Morecambe …..
Aw, c’mon now. The Bay is a wonder of the world, with the misty Lake District peaks setting it off. The town – all faded English seaside grandeur. And the masterpiece of the Midland Hotel.
Morecambe is like your favourite dotty old aunt.
Efe moment there!!
Sanna – a gimp more like! :-)

TTTT , apols to the Mrs but any judgement on her is predicated by an obvious lack of sense or sanity on her part a few years ago now .

Cheers for the update.
Methinks Gazprom will have a major say on FFP being ‘enforced’ in Russia.
As you know, they are significant ‘contributors’ to UEFA.
Nani Off
Fergie fuming at a nani red card
That may well have been a yellow card for Nani, but red…
Never.
Nani red card……Man U luck in europe may have ran out!
Defo red…
Ref has just spoiled the game with a crazy sending off….Swalex will be fuwious!
T4
Nonsense red card for Nani …..Swalex going bonkers …justifiably so

You might be right :-)
I guess women know everything about football that is why they spend precious time on more important issues.
It’s tens of idiot men like me who spend hours on blogs like CQN becouse every day they need to learn about football. There is never one view here on handball, deliberate handball etc. Watch the referees if you don’t believe.
Beer time.
We have an inexperienced Turkish ref tomorrow.
Modric on for RM
Worrying thing if our ref is a Turk too!
Shocking sending off for nani.
Booking would have sufficed.
RM getting space and passes now
Said to the missus, you make me watch that Embarrassing Bodies stuff on Channel 4, so don’t start complaining about a red Nani on ITV…..
T4
If he sends off 3 juve players he`ll do for me.
…Turkish Ref……?
( ah thought they were aw ‘Turkish’)
:)
Real got a no real favour from the ref there
