The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Denn Forever]

Chance to see Messi in the flesh though.

That is a good enough draw for Celtic. Barca are out of their league but the other two are beatable.

City got a tougher draw ir as tough with Ajax Real and Dortmund United have it easy wit Cluj Braga and Galtasaray

[Forever Green]

Not too bad a draw. Wee Aiden returning home to Parkhead will be brilliant, hope he gets a fantastic reception. And of course, the greatest ever team will be made welcome as well. Was kinda hoping we got Barca, should be an amazing atmposphere regardless of the scoreline. I think we have a real chance of sneaking into 2nd but we are going to have to get a least a point away from home

Celtic 2-2 Barca 
Barca 4-1 Celtic

Celtic 2-1 Spartak
Spartak 1-1 Celtic

Celtic 2-0 Benfica
Benfica 3-1 Celtic

Feels good to be amonsgt Europe`s finest again

Benfica are also way out of Celtic's league,  they were well capable of  getting through to the semi finals of last year's CL but managed to shoot themselves in the foot.
At best for Celtic, it's a scrap for 3rd place between them and Spartak.
A 3rd place finish in the group would be an admirable and a more than acceptable achievement.
Some great nights ahead for Celtic fans.

Yep with 1 point if they are lucky.

[Over the Bar]

most clubs in Europe would be happy with a point from a double header with barca before a ball is kicked

Emile Heskey anyone?

Emile Heskey anyone?

er, no thanks.

Del Piero?

[Forever Green]

I think it might be Ivan Klasnic, the striker coming in on a free

Delighted with todays business. We needed cover for Forster and Zaluska, we got that. We needed another CB and we got one. Looks a good player does Ambrose, ball playing defender. Absolutely delighted with the Miku signing. I have watched quite a bit of him and he is a very good player. He might just be the player to swing it our way against Benfica and Spartak. Option for a permanent transfer as well which is great

Very good business by Celtic today. Brought in who we needed and spent just under a million

Not going to be a household name apparently.

would love to see del piero in a celtic shirt. would even take mickey owen as a squad player.

[Forever Green]

Aye, saw that on another forum. You just never know with Celtic, they get our hopes up and then crush them. Then we will end up with Del Piero in the morning lol

I`m happy enough with what we have. Would have liked to have seen Jonny Russell come in but still a great window for Lenny and the bhoys
