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.

    Aw, right, so your questions to me about my post weren’t serious, then?

     

     

    Silly me, answering them!

     

     

    Still thinking about the Celtic question I’ve asked you twice?

     

     

    Or avoiding it?

     

     

    Be honest now!

    How remiss of me Sips, I forgot totally you were in direct comp with a sticky:))

     

     

    Lurking’ huns well you know the drill by now!

    Ernie,

     

     

    Morbid curiosity about the only motivation I have for watching….combined with combination of tiredness and laziness. Roll on next season.

    That Woy Hodgson’s a TOTAL fangita. They got what they deserved. Wales are a better team despite all the pish about Ingerland dominating all 3 games. They just aren’t good enough but always excuses for their boring predictable play just like with their fans, it’s always someone else’s fault.

     

     

    They remind me so much of the huns.

  5. They blinked.

     

     

    It has been torture biting our tongues.

     

     

    Read what STV have said. Between the lines.

     

     

    Then believe me when I say that is the best possible spin they can come up with.

     

     

    In two weeks.

     

     

    Now read it again carefully.

     

     

    Hopefully very soon you will get a better idea about what all of this means.

     

     

    And we’ll wipe the smile off the zombie faces.

     

     

    The sooner the better.

    It was serious, I just think it’s no big deal, you are obviously more worried about it than me, I have no interest in what the Scottish media say about our players, waste of time worrying about their agenda

  8. Bournesouprecipe,

     

     

    Maybe he was reminiscing. His free games where he scored for us in his undistinguished Celtic career.

    Angry about the negative stuff on here you have had to tolerate. Some guys far too quick to assume defeat. Some battles need time and sharp strategy. I remain confident that justice will prevail because I trust the key individuals who are taking this step by step, teasing out contradictions from the corrupt “authorities”.

  10. Tricoloured Ribbon –

     

     

    At the Olympics, Scots, Welsh and English are representing Great Britain, which is why they play God Save the Queen.

     

     

    When they play in the World Cup or Euros, they represent their own countries, so they play their own country’s anthems.

    Re anthems. Correct. Except for the occupied territories aka the orange free state who play. ..GSTQ. .trying to out english the English

    Apart from Engerland and the north of course, who see themselves as being Britain

    Not worried at all.

     

     

    Just posting my correct opinion about Murray being out of order!

    This part of Grant Russels article seems important

     

     

    If Rangers did have an overdue payable by the June deadline set by UEFA, they would have had until September 30 to prove the matter had been resolved. Consequently, there is no question of Rangers having been excluded from European competition in 2011/12. Instead, any sanction would have applied to future seasons.

     

     

    Now that’s Grants own explanation.

     

    The UEFA spokesperson does not explain that. Grant fills this missing piece in for us.

     

     

    Rangers would have had until September to prove the matter was resolved … Really? Where is that in the rules?

    Aye, nothing worse than someone who thinks his opinion is the correct one and that others are not entitled to theirs, no further comment required, you know the rest

    More power to your elbow.

     

     

    Lets hit them where it hurts

     

     

    Well done to all the guys who are fighting the good fight.

     

     

    Our day will come.

    My golden wedding anniversary is coming up soon in about 25 years time.

     

     

    Do you think an announcement/statement will be out in time for double celebrations?

     

     

    Sorry, couldn’t resist :-)

    Auld Tam,

     

    It matters not a jot.

     

    They are British,choose to be British, and their anthem is God Save the Queen.

  20. ANTIPODEAN RED,

     

     

    No bother, I’m glad you enjoyed the read. It’s a long way from Darwin to here.

     

     

    ———————————————————————————

     

     

    MAGNIFICENTSEVEN/Tricoloured,

     

     

    Re the Olympics, I also feel sorry for the Welsh, given that Wales isn’t formally represented on the Union flag.

  21. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    WC,

     

    I really admire your optimism.

     

    Wish I could be as hopeful as you are.

     

    The same goes for the Res.12 lads.

     

    However,as I said earlier,the power of the Lodge is too strong and I will be astonished if justice prevails.

     

    Would love to be proved wrong..

  22. I must be thick, but I’ve tried reading between the lines but I haven’t had a Eureka moment yet.

     

    Could someone please tell this eejit what are the positive vibes for our side and what we might expect to happen that will justify all this karma stuff.

  23. Late in the game tonight, the Welsh team Barca’d and banjoed the Russkies. Well done to them; the legacy of Gary Speed and the advancement of the Coleman Boys.
