Celtic

They're definitely a class above anything we've had to play in the qualifiers in recent years but I feel we are starting to look a better with our new style of play. I think we will have a bit too much quality for them.

I hate our board. We've took in so much money these last few years but we've made 2 signings Gordon on a free and Jo Inge Berget on a 5 month loan. I can't say I've even heard of the second one. I'm rather underwhelmed with the club this year.

No sign of any new signings?

Also how come Samaras wasn't signed?

Apparently Celtic signed Jo Inge Berget from Cardiff on loan until January, according to Sky Sports.

Tony Watt joined Standard Liege for £1.2m, according to Sky Sports.

Jo Inge signed today on loan. Watt left which was very disappointing. It's looking likely that one of Forster or Van Dijk will leave. We don't seem to be in any rush to add some more quality to our side.

Samaras wasn't signed on a new deal because our board thought he was asking for too much. Another very frustrating moment from our board.

They better hope we get through against Legia or they could have a real issue on their hands. I'm not expecting us to go and buy 6 or 7 million pound payers but we badly need a winger, a striker and a creative midfielder yet we don't seem to be making any attempts to address the issue.

Saw both the games against KR, Calum Mc looks pretty good. The second one was a relatively easy tie, They should have finished them off in the first one though. Poor Commons hitting the post in both ties.

The tempo to the second leg was great, KR couldnt handle the speed at which Celtic came at them.

Griffiths looks like he's 40

Well, if you're the Celtic board.. Is there really much of a need to spend right now?..

League has already been won. 3 of the top 5 attended clubs are in the second division. There's aberdeen but we haven't done anything to motivate celtic to do anything. Would have to overcome Motherwell fist anyway. The manager has way more than enough to easily win the domestic cups that alluded Neil Lennon. The only reason to spend is to go farther in Europe.

Callum McGregor scored again ffs. Next Souness/McStay/Bremner

smh 3-1 to Warsaw

and this is after Warsaw missing 2 penalties   

4-1

Surely that's Celtic out of the CL

Wow, this is quite a shock.

LEGIA LEGIA LEGIA LEGIA

Complete disgrace. The board have to shoulder the blame for this. We continue to downsize yet they expect us to qualify for the CL every year. We will do well to even qualify for the Europa League with our current team and manager.

If you fail to progress in the CL in this round, you go into the EL?

yeah all teams failing in the qualifiers in CL go down to EL qualifiers.

Scottish football definitely in their worst period ever .
At least Rangers and Celtic had also good players in past ... DAT battle Gascoigne-Di Canio in 1997 Now Celtic is full of scrub and Rangers is even dead !
You can see him expecially from Scottish players.
Scotland has always had some good players .  and even Great  players , as the Liverpool fans can testify ...
and infact Scotland always got qualified in World Cup , it was so till to 1998.
Then Scottish football has declined since 1998
and infact who is the best  Scottish player now ? Snodgrass .. lol
The fact to wait Gauld as new Messi explains all

Last year, Celtic returned from a lose with 2-0. They won at home with 3-0. 3-0 is the score wich may qualify them to play-off.
However, Legia is better than Karagandy. It will be very tough to beat them with this score.
Celtic are very good at their home stadium and a little hope still exists.
Good luck for the second match!

Cheers, I think we will need all the luck we can get.


Us winning 3-0 at home to Legia is not impossible but it will require a marked improvement from that shambles from last night and it would only be papering over the cracks. The side badly needs investment, far too many players aren't good enough. It was the same last year, I doubt we would have qualified if we didn't get the weakest team there.

Celtic's Anthony Stokes could be heading back to England after fall out with Ronny Delia

We are unbelievablely awful. Manager has to be given the funds to sign his own players.

Any truth in Moyes supposedly the new Celtic manager soon?

I very much doubt it.


We might end up going through, Legia fielded an ineligible player against us. Sion all over again.

Looks like Celtic managed to win with 3-0.   

Something special about that kid Callum McGregor.

Finished top scorer for Notts County and saved them from relegation scoring 14 goals from a midfield position.

Debut season with Celtic he has 3 in 5 already. Keeping an eye on him.

He has potential but I don't think he will become anything special. He has been decent so far this season but 2 of the goals were deflections and the other a howler from the keeper.

We were excellent against Dundee United on Saturday. Won 6-1 but it could've been a whole lot more. Denayer scored on his debut and Berget also got 2, both put in very impressive performances.


Tomorrow is an absolutely massive game for us, we have been improving over the last 2 games but I still think this game may be too soon for us. We are hoping to sign Wakaso Mubarak today in time to be registered for tomorrow as well. Does anyone know much about him?
