    No contest for me. 10 in a row will mean so much more than the uefa cup. We only get one life and growing up in teh 90s was a horrible * time o be a celtic supporter. Watching them * match our 6 in a row record was bad but then watching them do 7,8 then that year hoping they would slip up and not do 9 then the * go and match it. Then to find out they * cheated to gain them titles and getting away with it just makes it worse. To get 10IAR and to rub it in to them cheating * that they will never get a * sniff of anything even remotely like it will mean alot more than winning that uefa cup. Any right thinking celtic man should think the same. Esp those of us that lived through the 90s

    10 IAR for me....as magical as Seville was and would be great to experience that again getting the 10 would be just that bit more special for me.

    I'd take the Europa for sure. Would do more for the club every which way.

    hopefully we can do both dont really give a toss about the huns going on about how many titles they have as there club died and lost all the titles anyway even if we did 9 again we have done it the proper way and not cheated.

    Think he,s got a fair point.
    While 10 in a row means a lot to us and the huns (in different ways)outside of that its meaningless.
    Most people i know who are not celts havent a clue how many in a row we have won be it 5,10,20 as far as their concerned we win the league every year and its no big deal.
    Where as if we won EL that would be something to take note about.
    I see your point that we shouldnt be bothered by other peoples thoughts and its a fair point but it would be nice when talking about our club with other football fans that we can say we won a EL cup as its a bit more of a honour and they can relate to that as their teams may compete in the same competition.

    I've just had a totally fantastical thought on this difficult question ; what about doing 9 in a row ( again ) and just failing to secure a 10th because we are tied up in a struggle to win 4 trophies ( L' cup , S' cup ,league and Europa league ) . But the peaky chancers that expose our weakness when fighting on all fronts are Celtic reserves . Probably couldn't happen as it breaks every rule in the book , but that hasn't stopped others from winning titles in Scotland .

    Europa for sure.

    I dont see Them as a benchmark. Winning the Europa cup is a much bigger achievement than pumping everyone in Scotland indefinitely.

    Why not both?

    It's hard to say really. 10 in a Row would be amazing to witness purely from a Celtic point of view, but the opportunity to win a European cup doesn't come round very often. I loved the UEFA Cup run growing up and I would * your hand off for another one like that. If Ajax and Dnipro can make it to the Europa League final I don't see why we can't.

    If BR can get the talent he wants, keeps pushing the players already here and get a boss defence sorted we can go far in the EL.

    It doesn’t bother me at all. I just prefer glory on the bigger stage.

    Would certainly get us back on the European football map.

    10IAR would be massive aswell but only in Scotland. We would get the usual "so what it's a pub league" crap from everyone else

    if we won the Europa League and the Huns finished second. Would we have qualified them for Champions League/
