The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[StGallsGAA]

£3m+ p/a and signing on fee for an elderly player who is just about functional at championship level and who has already signed a contract with them, is hardly worth a discussion.

I can't think of many elderly players who performed for Celtic, Toure was grand for a few games and then he got older. RMK played out the last few games of his career at Celtic.
I like the look of Ajer, obviously it's dicey putting a 19 yo in at the deep end (when needs must), but he looks very mature considering.

Shoulda held onto Efe

Going into the CL against the best in Europe with 2 x sicknote CBs, having a 19yr old, a 21yr old from the South African league who has yet to kick a ball and a 2nd rate midfielder as back ups is utter stupidity.

Spend some or the f**king windfall and buy some experience!

[Main Street]

To be seeded in the 3rd pot would be a bonus but only a real outside chance of that happening now.
All the same, Hüpf Hoffe hüpf Allez Allez

Being realistic and a trifle optimistic, with the massive home support it should not be beyond the capacity of Celtic to remain unbeaten in all home CL fixtures.And as they showed last year,with an infierior team this year,they can collect points on the road.If say they could win two home games,draw one,nick an away win against a pot three team,an away draw with the team from pot 2, and factor in  a heroic defeat away to Pot 1, it would be sufficient to clinch runners up spot in the group.

All depends on the draw. If we get R Madrid, PSG and one other we have no chance if second

[Hectic]

Got to be wanting the Russians or Ukranians out of Pot 1,  Pot 2 is probably the strongest pot in terms of low end teams so on that basis give me Dortmund as that would be a fantastic trip to a welcoming venue, Pot 3 Olympiacos would do me nicely.  Not even sure such a group will even be possible for Celtic by the time they keep apart all the Spanish and English sides etc.

[illdecide]

Gonna predict our group...

B Munich
A Madrid
Anderlecht
Celtic

But will prob get
B Munich
Barcelona
Napoli
Celtic

[clarshack]

anyone but Barcelona.

[yellowcard]

The pot of second seeds overall look stronger than the first seeds.

You truly are living in cloud cuckoo land.

[lurganblue]

Which centre half should Celtic buy now?  John Terry would've been some addition for one season in the CL.

Agreed but prob getting about £60k a week at Villa

Probably but Villa don't have a £30M CL windfall so on that basis Celtic could afford JT....

Villa get a £90M parachute payment from the EPL which dwarves the riches Celtic have to work hard to get in the champions league.

CORRECT

Not setting the world alight at villa yet in his partnership with Chester but i suppose he has been OK.  I would say champions league would have been well beyond him at this stage.

[dec]

Bayern, PSG, Anderlecht & Celtic

[Main Street]

Not a bad group, two of the best in PSG and BM and a fighting chance to get 3rd place.

[tonto1888]

No last 16 anyway

[yellowcard]

It will boil down to the 2 games with Anderlecht as to whether they can finish 3rd and grab a Europa League spot. Some big games for the fans, Bayern and PSG will qualify comfortably, just a case of which order.
