    Their combined wage rise wouldn't even be as much as has been off the wagebill since February when Rodgers and his coaching team departed.

    And have already been more than offset since they left.

    Don’t think you’ll find many thinking like that. :56:Some of my best nights supporting Celtic have been in the big European nights under the lights.

    Some of mine too but those nights occurred when we had a team on the park capable of competing with the decent European teams of the period. Our current side is not good enough to do so and being embarrassed home and away is not going to help us in our quest for 9IAR.

    That is literally the worst thing that could happen for us.

    Or let’s demoralise them anyway by either not qualifying at the playoff round or getting their farters raped in the group stages as per usual.

    Of recent, I loath the CL, just as much as I loath the Premier League. The whole thing is a catch 22, sticky wicket, rock and a hard place all in the one.

    Sorry, I just detest the current global football landscape.

    There’s nothing embarrassing about European football after Christmas and going out to Valencia.

    If we don’t have any sort of European football it completely sucks the life out of the season, it’s a horrible feeling. It’s our biggest draw for players and one of our biggest sources of income. We can’t go out before the group stages of either competition.

    I hate the CL too, the only bonus is the money but actually what does it do apart from making the accounts look good for the board.

    Unless we spend on quality we will end up out again like last season to another team like AEK.

    It’s a * nightmare we have to play 4 * rounds just to make it but we can do it if there quality added to the side.

    We should be making the champions league each season with the correct investment, last year showed that if you go for the cheap * option your luck will run out.

    Will Lawwell invest this time or will he do the old wait and see and the club miss out on 40 odd million again?

    Mental how low some fans ambitions are.

    My ambitions aren't low at all, quite the opposite in fact but I'm a realist an know how far away we are from being able to compete with the better teams in Europe and am sick of seeing the team brushed aside by teams who often aren't even the cream of Europe themselves. Valencia a good example, totally outclassed us and were then outclassed themselves by Arsenal. It's the board's low ambition you should be worried about.

    The same team that just beat Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey final. There are a lot of issues with our performances in Europe but the way to fix it is through investment and experience, not getting punted out round one

    Least we'll get tickets for the home section at Winsdor Park this time.

    Come on the boys in blue.

    We've had plenty of experience in Europe in recent times. But we're still a worse side now than after BR 1st season. Like it or not we've regressed. Agree about the investment but can't see much money being spent myself.
