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.

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?
=======================
Did he really say that?
One important aspect is that had RFC failed Indicator 4 (overdue payables at 30 June) then UEFA would have asked for future financial forecasts.
Funnily enough HMRC were asking for them when UEFA decided it wasn’t necessary but can you imagine the difficulty having to produce future financial forecasts would have caused RFC in August 2011 AFTER they had exited both CL and EL and were six months from administration.
If SFA and UEFA have their way this could be The Greatest Story Never Told and STV would be the story teller, along with all the other smsm who have ignored the TOG report and not published documents that the CFCB had the power to demand in 2013 had Res12 been passed.

An expert in European Constitutional law votes ” Remain. ”
Not much of a surprise there.
In the horserace of life , back “self interest ” ,because you know it`s trying.
I`d rather vote for avoidance of further and increasing danger to the British populace.
Hope Wales go all the way Im going to Llandudlo in a couple of weeks.
Catch 22 is one very funny book.

Catch 22 is one very funny book.
————————————————
Maybe so , but to me it’s main message is the impossibility of never achieving your goal. Hopefully this is not applicable to the Res 12 Resolutioners of which I have every confidence that they will actually achieve their Goal.
There are many excellent books funny and not so funny where triumph prevails over adversity.
No criticism intended in your choice of night time reading.
HH.
The main point of Catch22 is getting yourself into an argument you can never win.
Just an opinion of course.

’tis indeed.
Funilly enough, that was in my mind when RFC were caught red-handed (pun intended) with the old player registration debacle. In one form or another ‘they’ squirmed out of that due to an extent due to the Bryson Interpretation / LNS ‘legal judgement’ – which is what left the door ajar for the non-stripping of titles.
Worry is that, no matter how much they are caught bang-to-rights (they being SFA/RFC – UEFA? / SMSM? / some in the Justiciary?), we are effectively depending on the police to police themselves.
I’m usually optimistic, and we seem to be at a crucial juncture, so my hope is that justice is taken out of the grasp of vested interests, and delivered publicly, unambiguously, and in laymans terms.
Something along the lines of – “It is confirmed absolutely that Rangers and the SFA colluded over a number of years to deliberately cheat Scottish football” – something unspinnable.
Grateful for the continuing efforts chaps – WC, I feel your pain re: keeping a secret, but it is worth it to see the surprise at the end of the day – so wheesht!!!!

So the main message is that it is impossible not to achieve your goal, then?

Ha, LOL. . Joseph Heller’s book was about never being able to achieve your goal. Imo.
Funny maybe!, but hopefully not applicable to the res 12 persons.

Ps: hoped nobody would notice the slight discrepancy in the wording. You passed the test.:-)))))

Brit bashers who want Britain to remain in Europe.
Back to self interest again.

Sandy Bryson’s ‘imperfectly registered’ explanation would have been worthy of a chapter in the novel, along with LNS’ ‘no Sporting advantage’ conclusion.

Not sure I should be discussing Brexit with someone who confuses Britain with England .
Unless you`re referring to the N.I. and Welsh fans.
Beatbhoy,
The LNS ” no sporting advantage ” was an insult to our intelligence. LMS may have numerous ” ologys” but that was a whopper.
Talking Whoppers, fishing is a very popular pastime and dropping lines in the right places is the best method of communication to the widest audience.

You’re a really interesting poster, love to hear the sound of your own voice but when it comes down to it you ain’t got much to say have you….
The way I see it is that uefa statement says they couldn’t have played in Europe for three seasons ergo they are a new club. Maybe I’m wrong,,wouldn’t be the first time.
BMCUWP, your comment earlier re asking the res12ers for info showed a touch of class and hit the nail on the head. It’s their baby so they can decide what and when,,no one else. It’s only right. Hope you’re well.

Don’t know how the draw for 16 works out
But if England were to meet Norn Iron (our wee country) would we be treated to GSTQ twice?
LOL @ England – like a Ronny Deila Celtic trying to break down Ross County (27/12/14 pedantry fans).
LOL @ the Hun Monkeys in England tops.
LOL @ Joe Ledley’s celebrations in front of the Wales fans.

No need to shout mate, I just asked you a question, I never mentioned Brexit, it seems you have difficulty keeping up with your own themes on here. Not sure how old you are and I wouldn’t like to disrespect an elderly poster…
