A good start this evening on the long road journey to the CL elite.I  would've thought a Balkan league champions such as Sarajevo would have something more about them, perhaps they were almost as as rusty as Celtic were. Some tired legs in the last 1/4, that was one heavy pitch.

Potentially our trickiest first round game in Europe for a while. Three good goals.

I guess UEFA won't be in a rush to fine the Sarajevo fans for displaying a (34th anniversary) banner behind the goal

A pittance.
He plays in the SPL!

Your point is?

I think his point is the SPL is a very minor league in Europe and thus being a decent player in the SPL doesn't mean you can cut it at Premier League level and that £20m odd is around Tierney's level...

Just a guess but I'm sure michaelg will clarify!

Birds of a feather ,,,, :)

I'm sure Arsenal would not be offering personal terms of £20m,  £5m p/a for 4 years if they thought Tierney couldn't hack it in the EPL. Im also sure they have seen him hack it at CL, EL and international  levels.
Translate salary into transfer fee worth, then £25m is a pittance.

Exactly, Tierney has played in and cut it in the CL. Obviously, Arsenal are looking at the bigger picture i.e. the actual player and his capabilities. Anyone with an ounce of sense could see VanDijk was a cut above and destined for the top "despite" only playing in Scotland. I would have preferred he went to 
one of the better leagues like Spain or Italy.

KT is worth every penny and some in todays silly EPL valuations, I would take the money tbh as it's mega to Celtic and if i'm being honest here i think with his injury problems recently i'd break their arm off for it. He's been fantastic for Celtic but no-one could begrudge him the move which will quadruple his wages and let him have the next chapter in his adventure...

Good luck KT whatever happens next...

Celtic will play Israeli side Maccabi Tel-Aviv or Cluj of Romania in the Champions League third qualifying round should they overcome Nomme Kalju.

The Scottish champions host the Estonians in the first leg on Wednesday while Cluj host Maccabi.

Cluj won Liga 1 for the fifth time last season - and second season in a row - and have Dan Petrescu as head coach.

Maccabi topped the Israeli Premier League for a 22nd time, but it was their first title since 2015.
