    Ridiculous defensive performance, deserve nothing. When looking at them set up I couldn't believe calmac was at left back. Whit the actual *. Whatever the excuse was for playing maybe our most creative player there I'll not believe it's good enough. * pish. The only positive is that if Cluj can put 4 past us at home, at least we'll no be facing actual champions League quality teams this year who might put double that past us.

    Individual errors do not equal a bad team performance. Brown doesn't hand ball that and we're through. If we had an average keeper we'd be through.

    Just feel after all the money I spent- Ive been taking for a ride - not the only one here feels that - defensively we are paper thin - hurts real bad this one after 1st leg - hard to get excited

    As disappointing as tonight is, we have managed to get £25 million for Tierney which should mean that we still make a profit this year and that's the most important thing.

    Let us not get too angry and lose sight of that.

    Kinda right in two ways, it's a bit of an over reaction saying that means we've lost the league but we definitely need more quality in, no doubt about that. The problem is, Jullien, Boli and Elhamed have highlighted it's not lack of spending that's the problem, it's finding the right players.

    Very disappointing tonight! We had it in the bag, then threw it away. We deserve what we got. Unfortunately a sign of things to come under Lennon.

    Said this before season started and got stick but it's true. We'll be hard pushed just to win the league with the set-up we have now and the EL will be nothing but a drain on energy and fitness and with injuries. Playing on a Sunday after Thursdays is always a low-key affair as well. We have no chance of doing well in it and any money we make won't go on quality so what do we have to gain?

    I know I've banged on about it for the last month but Bain isn't first choice. Sad thing is to correct it then it's best to release Gordon and sign our first choice.

    Left back is just as important to get a quality player in.

    GK and LB

    RB and CB are next in line. Jozo is a liability and we need a RB to at least compete with the Israeli

    Fix them four in the next two weeks and some luck to get past AIK is the very least required now

    In a week or so the dust will settle.

    Their focus will turn to possibilities of reaching the UEL Groups.

    They’ll remember we’re going to equal the record 9iar going for the ten.

    Oh what about a quadruple treble, that too.

    Yeah, thats it, we can always rely on the Celtic supports mantra, a deep rooted belief. As they say ‘Keep the Faith’. Regardless of what we do, they’ll always keep the faith. This will soon be a distant memory and acceptance will kick in.

    Did McGregor actually start at left back? Only caught the end of the game. If so then we got what we deserved, absolute * take. Brown needs dropped and we need players in sharpish.

    What's the script with Hayes I thought Lennon liked him when he came in last season. Bolingoli is a diddy surely the step in is Hayes he at least puts a shift in

    I would expect AIK to be better than Cluj in all honesty. I don’t expect us to make the EL group stage.

    You can get lucky and overcome a lack of planning and investment - we’ve done so before. But we would’ve had to have been extremely lucky to have gotten to the CL given the status of the team just now, and that’s accounting for the fact we had a fairly kind draw.

    I could go on all day but it isn’t really necessary. Everyone knows what’s wrong. We’ve underinvested, sold our best players, scouted poorly and been pathetically slow in reinforcing the squad. The ‘football operations’ side of the club is just horrific. The harsh reality is we’re in a position now where the league is likely to be a close fought thing, and that’s simply a consequence of us mismanaging our not insignificant pool of resources.

    Today’s result is a symptom of a much bigger picture.
