Tallinn or Gibraltar in Champions League for Celtic

532

Brendan Rodgers will start Celtic’s Champions League trail against Flora Tallin, from Estonia, or Lincoln Red Imps, from Gibraltar, in the tournament’s second qualifying round.

Flora, who are seeded against Lincoln Red Imps, are midseason, but went out in the first qualifying round a year ago to Rabotnicki, from Macedonia (who reached the play-off round before losing narrowly to Russians, Rubin Kazan).

Red Imps won the big (cough) Iberian derby last year when they eliminated Santa Coloma from Andorra, before crashing to Erik Sviatchenko’s Midtjylland.

Neither are the British Isles-based tie Brendan Rodgers would have preferred, travelling arrangements will cost an extra day’s training, but there were far more arduous opponents in the draw.

Games take place on 12/13th July and 19/20th July. The away tie is scheduled first – but you know the drill, don’t book flights until Uefa have ratified match arrangements.

  1. I mentioned recently, ‘Imagine the worst case scenario’ It has happened. So what? EUFA are as corrupt as the SFA. The difference since 2011/2012 is this site and others like it. Social media is growing at the same rate as the decline of the main stream media.

     

     

    If the sfa try their dirty deeds again we will be on it before they know it. Not like 20 years ago.

  2. Well done Celtic TV for getting the 1st two games of the tour.Hopefully the rest will follow.

     

    We “Trolls”like to tune in now and again.

    GOOD MORNING mr. TEARMAN

     

    Got my cases mixed up. Just like when I travel.

     

    Have a fine day.

  5. MACJAY, last night I asked you a question about where you lived but you couldn’t answer it honestly. You are like a typical busybody putting your oar into other people’s affairs that have little or nothing to do with you.

     

    Stick to the football, you might have some pertinent input to deliver in that respect.

    MACJAY1 FOR NEIL LENNON,

     

     

    Remind me, where do you live again?

     

     

    ===============================================

     

     

    A ) I`m not accountable to you

     

    B) You placed an advertisement for ” Remain”. I responded.

     

    What is your problem ?

  7. Please Leave this BIG Government.

     

     

    I’m not gonnae say anything about this or that.

     

     

    I know these are the End Times.

     

     

    Get out of it, is what I say, purely because they are rebuilding the Tower of BABEL- literally as their headquarters, they even have the transistors/translators for all Tongues ready to go.

    Downhill big time efter this Referendum, IMO.

  8. Celtic Football Club has been, rudderless since Martin O’Neill left the club.

     

    It also became apparent that, the Celtic supporter base has been rudderless as well.

     

    Ah mean, 3 anti-Celtic huns were appointed to be ‘pillars’ of the Scottish game.

     

    1.Fraser Wishart

     

    2. Gordon Smith

     

    3. Hugh Dallas

     

    Ah mean, not a whimper of protest from Celtic Park about this ?

     

    The appointments of the named 3 above, sent out a message to Scottish Society that,…

     

    …”Celtic FC and, they’re supporter base – sit at the back of the bus!”

     

    Throw in Walter Smith – not picking R*ngers FC players for crucially timed games or rather, R*ngers FC players being allowed to call-off from International duty. They even sent Barry Robson home from a Scotland get together, just to make it look as though it wasn’t only R*ngers FC players who were allowed to call-off…..Aye!

     

    Ye see, Duffield, Wishart, Dallas etc were allowed to perform they’re ‘dark-arts’ on behalf of one club – unchallenged !?!?!?!

     

    Only, Craig Levine stood up to them.

     

    Gerry McNee and, Graeme Spiers were the only journalists to ‘question’ what was being spun on behalf of one club.

     

    Celtic supporters jammed the phone-ins about all the hun-corruption that was going on.

     

    Celtic FC, sent a letter to the BBC signed by a source – complaining about all the honest-mistakes by referee’s which seemed slanted towards the benefit of one club.

     

    For, the last 11 years…..Celtic FC have been no more than puchbags for the Scottish establishment.

     

    Neil Lennon knocked the referee’s noses out of joint with a crusade against them that was, looooooong overdue. Neil dealt with issues whilst the iron was hot, like Levine did.

     

    None of this – we sent a letter type of p#sh.

     

    Because that is all it is….P#SH!!!!!

     

    The Celtic -PLC-Hierarchy didny like it and, reigned him in.

     

    Why was Dallas not sacked by the SFA after his distrubution of anti-catholic e-mails ?

     

    Why was Dallas allowed to walk out of the SFA and then, take up a job with UEFA ?

     

    Why did Celtic FC not ask UEFA – through the media – not through wee-sneaky-letters, why Dallas was being recruited by them ?

     

    Why did Celtic not oppose the appointment of Gordon Smith ?

     

    Why did Celtic not oppose the re-election of Campbell Ogilvie ?

     

    Why did Celtic not oppose the appointment of Fraser Whishart ?

     

    Why did Celtic swallow all the LNS p#sh on behalf of they’re cheated fans with a – “We’re surprised!” – comment ?

     

    You want to know why Celtic FC get away with all they’re p#sh ?

     

    Because Celtic supporters ‘are’ toothless.

     

    The Res12tance-Rebels have the burning issue on the table – a poker table.

     

    In an ideal world, Celtic supporters would have told the club – “We welcome Brendan Rodgers with open arms but – we will only do this when our custodians take up the Res12tance-Rebels fight to UEFA. Only then will we rally round the flag, welcome Brendan with open arms and then, pour in all our season ticket money into the club,”

     

    As this is isny an ideal world with a Celtic supporter base that isny toothless well…..punchbags are we!

     

    Brendan will take us to the promised land.

     

    Or, Brendan will be outed as a, puppety-squirrel that, 53,000 Celtic supporters fell for.

     

    ….tick-tock……

     

    Viva the Res12tance-Rebels – Please take control of Celtic FC next and, give us a soul.

     

    ….oot-zzzzzzzz…….

    ‘Brexit will be a disaster for this country and a lot of disingenuous statements from the Leave campaign are misleading the people.

     

     

    ‘….the Leave campaign can be characterised on the whole as misleading, xenophobic, little Englanders with nothing more to offer other than empty rhetoric such as “take back control” without addressing some of the major issues in any depth whatsoever!

    Kev J, well put. And look what all their shenanigans brought them. Death.

     

    Hopefully there’s a long game here, after all he who laughs last laughs longest.

  18. My 2 cents worth-

     

    STV’s Grant won’t provide the questions they put to uefa because they didn’t ask any.

     

    A sevco/smsm friendly source provided them with the sound bites they wanted to hear ahead of the res12 bombshell.

    Nah! Given that the Earth’s 4.543 billion years old, it’ll be gone in the blink of an eye.

    Is PETEC that old guy that used to wander up and down Sauchiehall St. with a sandwich board proclaiming “Repent..the end is nigh”.The guy is entitled to his beliefs but why does he spout them on what i thought was a blog for discussing Celtic related topics.Is anyone else uncomfortable with his ranting…maybe its just me.

  23. mullet and co 2 on

    Stv Grant provides his own reasoning of the rules and allies them to the licence rules.

     

    His reasoning is that Rangers had until September to demonstrate they where in compliance with the rules. They were out of Europe but couldn’t comply with the rules so their punishment for non compliance carried over to the next season. His reasons not UEFAs.

     

    Stv headline ignores the fact UEFA say no comment to the question of whether an investigation did take place. It also ignores the fact that UEFA say no comment on whether the rules where complied with or not. These are facts in the article though.

     

    So it may very well be that UEFA see this one as Rangers being punished for rule breaking from 2011 carried over into 2012 but UEFA leave door open to rule breaking in June

  24. Thunder Road on

    To me our midfield has not been as strong and dominant as it should have been the last few seasons under Ronny and was a large part of our problems in Europe.

     

    Been wondering if there’s any particular formation that Brendan Rodgers favours and whether we can expect to see it getting shuffled about in there?

    Midfield has been garbage since Ledley left,bud.
