No big deal just the way it is because they're guaranteed a run at CL group stage every single year until Rangers get their act together ?Well it's hardly like I'd give much of a shite. Celtic are no longer good enough to play in the Champions League. They would have just got fucking hammered if they had qualified - and I fully expect Maribor will get fucking hammered, because they are pretty shite too.
At least in the Europa League they might have a shot at getting out of the group, maybe.
Na, fact is, Celtic don't have anywhere near enough cash to compete at Champions League level, and if the fans want to see that change, they have to stop all the 'spend a load of money on players' nonsense and support the club in trying to generate money from other sources.
The club isn't in debt any more, and that's a big start, no more interest to pay off every year.
I mean, the wage bill is probably more like lower level Championship teams than Champions League sides. That can't change unless a load of new money appears from somewhere, simple as that.
I can see another 5-10 years of sitting in European obscurity whilst trying to develop a decent youth set-up and player development culture. That's basically why Ronny Deila was brought in.
No big deal, just the way it is.
It sounds like you give a shite. And yes, when you're up against the big bucks of heavy hitters like Maribor, it must be tough to compete.Well it's hardly like I'd give much of a shite.

I was about to say i hope Swasea get them in the EL. That was last year. Maybe we'll get them. That'd be fucking class.The only way Celtic will ever be able to compete at European level is if they join the Premier League. Not saying I'd support it, just stating the obvious. Welsh teams are better than Celtic now.
Amused in an never ceasing way.I was about to say i hope Swasea get them in the EL. That was last year. Maybe we'll get them. That'd be fucking class.
I'll take Celtic, a Spanish team and a German or Italian team. No Eastern Bloc sides I want a big test in the group followed by all ex CL teams all the way to the final. FUCKING YES!!!
Rather that than Metalist, Lokomotive and DebrecenAmused in an never ceasing way.
Are you lot still pot one ? Would you not want to give it a lash against Real or Bayern or someone ? See where you are in the grand scheme of things ? I'd fucking love that even if we took a bating.Let's say Shaktar, Juve and ...umm..Schalke.

What's the money situation like at Celtic? Are they in desperate need to sell to survive or is it just the case that the SPL is so easy for them now they can cash in and still be champions, even though it means their chances in Europe are seriously damaged?
Oh, also
What's going on there?
Legia beat Celtic 6-1 in the previous round but were turfed out due to an administrative issue. They had a player who was due to serve a suspension and who didn't play against St Pats 2 rounds ago so they thought he'd be eligible to play against Celtic, however the UEFA rule is that the player only serves the suspension if he's registered for that round which he wasn't (sure why would you? he's suspended), with the tie going their way 6-1 he came off the bench with about 5 minutes to go. UEFA threw them out of the competition for fielding an ineligable player.
