    We can't play Zagreb. They are guaranteed to be seeded throughout, same as us.

    It’ll be Barcelona, Ajax, Us and Leipzig cos we always play the same teams.

    Liverpool and Dortmund would be fun.

    Of course there are. We could get caught cold in either QR1 or QR2 of the CL, draw a tough team, and get dumped out. We'd then be seeded for the next round of the EL, but unseeded after that. Come the EL playoff the seeded teams we could face would be the losers from the QR3 of the CL - that could include Ajax, Zagreb, Ludogorets, PAOK, etc.

    If we lost to any possible round 2 opponent besides Tel-Aviv (who'll probably be seeded) and then suffered a further loss in the EL play off route with the superior resources we have to everybody besides ajax there'd be a legitimate case to start over from top to bottom. Thats how unlikely it is.
    Weve won every round 1 and 2 qualifier by atleast a 2 goal margin during 8IAR. Its not happening.
    Well sail through the regionalised opening round. Win with a couple to spare in the 2nd and from theres no way we wont be in a group even if we're again shocked in the 3rd round.

    You said there were no circumstances it could happen, I gave you some. To dismiss possibilities and potential opponenents based on our 'resources' is dangerous. We all know that we don't make the best of what we have, and there are plenty of other factors that contribute beyond that.

    Tel Aviv cannot, under any circumstance, be seeded for R2, btw.

    We don't make the best of what we have? Isn't that an ever ending mystery of sport?

    Easy as * give me the below

    1R - winner of the preliminary ties from San Marino or Gibraltar

    2R - Dundalk or Linfield.

    What will happen

    1R - some obscure 6000 mile round trip

    2R - Rosenborg

    3R - Astana

    Same * every year!

    Are Linfield and Dundalk like polar opposites? StPauli would love drawing Dundalk, Rebs getting belted out in Surround Sound :celt_2:

    Mind the 6000 round trip to Karagandy, how do we get pumped by * wee teams?

    Astana would be good aye? The 4th round is when the heavy hitters are drawn? Although if we made it that far we'd be seeded so maybe a decent draw?

    The extra round feels like a whole lot more games than just two.

    On a positive note, all those games will mean we start the league match fit and raring to go.

    How many games will we have to play in an empty stadium after that tifo

    Don't want any Israeli side cause they're capable of doing damage, in the 2nd round too that would be dreadful. If we make it that far :celtman2:
    Ffs ricky that's a * of a road to the Group Stages :56: Cluj, Red Star and Young Boys are unseeded? Who funds them? They're not like a Red Bull outfit?

    Just noticed your avatar, good to see the board are serious about strengthening the team :50:

    If we don’t sign anyone we won’t make it past the third round once again.

    We will definitely have signed someone by July, even if it's not a marquee signing something will be done cause it would just be too mental if we couldn't find anyone, we're Celtic, players want to play for us.
