UEFA Champions League (Part 2)

The sad thing is Celtic play Falkirk at home on Saturday and their fans will be celebrating every goal like they’ve just scored in the CL final.

Watched the highlights. Some turnaround that, they even took the lead in this game, were 4-0 up on aggregate after 30 minutes.

Just want to note that I have nothing against Celtic. Just found them getting hammered so utterly by Linz away, borderline unprofessional (due to having a 3 goal lead from Game 1) and it sort of compares very badly to Glimt, who again sold Celtic their supposedly best attacker for a record fee.

But if I could “choose” teams in the Champions League, I think Celtic is the kind of club that people would like there. But they have to deserve it then. And it seems they don’t this season unfortunately.

Scottish teams in Europe have been absolutely awful.

I don’t know if Celtic now move into the Europa or conference but Northern Ireland probably have a better shot than the remaining Scottish clubs do. Though you’d expect Rangers could do it.

Europa League, i think. Glimt’s opponent moves on to Europa League, so must be the same here and I therefore don’t think we have to google it.

Yeah one route is the champions section and I assume that’s Celtic as they won the title and I assume that’s what that means. You never know mind.

I mean it was worse than that. They were 4:0 up on aggregate with just under an hour to play. Total capitulation.

My son’s old schoolmate is the Falkirk goalie, although I think he has been injured, so maybe Celtic has a chance.

This is a revolution. National team, Glimt and now Viking, looks to be able to qualify .

Just saw Celtic gave away a 4-0 aggregate lead to lose 5-0 to some team i´d never heard of. Classic.

:smiley:

Could be worse tbf

I did the whole simulation and Club Brugge knocked us out :cry:

Did it again and we got our revenge :joy:

Things don’t always work out for the best …

We were knocked out by Barca in the Round of 16.

We are still in pot 1? We have been quite mediocre in the CL these last years (missing out in 23-24, round of sixteen in 24-25 and quarter finals in 25-26), so that comes as a surprise for me. I expected us to be in pot 2.

Love this day. Shame we can’t draw United, hopefully in one of the knockout stages.

:crossed_fingers:t4:

So using their own laws, surely that means provided we get out of the group stage, we progress automatically to the Quater-Final stage doesn’t it?
