    I think we will get some sort of result at home against Lazio.

    Lost their last 3 away games and I just feel our intensity will be hard for them.

    Take it a game at a time...definitely encouraging and would be nice to get a couple of knockout ties for once. But wont get carried away yet!

    This double header is massive in the context of the group.

    Think if we can win 2 of our next 4 games we’ll advance.

    Last season only 2 teams went out on 10 points (Milan and standard). If we win all our home games we should be good.

    I think the atmosphere for the Lazio game will be immense.

    The prestige & finances that the CL group stage brings is something that we all desire / appreciate but i think we are realistic enough to know that the EL is probably our level as long as we play in the SPFL. Not qualifying for the CL groups still hurts but that is down to teams like Spurs getting a place at our expense

    Used to hate us being in the EL but it is growing on me, probably due to the fact that we wont be getting pumped by 7 goals in this competition and we have a realistic chance of doing well in it. The fans & atmosphere have taken a CL feel to them in last few years and i think the team responds to that.

    Think the Lazio game will produce another cracking atmosphere and if we play like we did last night then i will be very happy.

    Aye and i can see the heidlines the noo.

    "the monkeys being back in europe have made, awwww' the difference, to the coefficient..."

    Disregarding all the hard work that "Celtic" and Celtic "alone" have put in over the last decade.
    We did it, we did it alone with no other bastit's help.

    The SS Lazio informs that it has received from UEFA a dispute concerning the behavior of some supporters responsible for having established acts defined as racist. In confirming that he will defend his reputation and tradition, the company informs that he immediately activated the initiatives aimed at identifying those responsible and will rigorously apply the code of ethics to remove the perpetrators of the facts from the stadium. It should also be noted that the Company, to protect its patrimonial interests, will be a civil party in the process that should be celebrated against those who, following PG investigations carried out by the police, should be held liable.

    We'll find out today whether they'll partially or fully close the Stadio Olimpico for their match against us.

    I personally cant see it, the police would be going mad if there ends up being 15K+ of us going around Rome with no match to go to.

    I always wanted the huns to draw either Roma or Lazio when they were in Europe. Cause obviously the hoardes would go to Rome and not be able to resist desecrating the Vatican. To which the response from the Italian Polis would be to kick the utter * out of them......which would be hilarious obviously.

    Decent group. Cannot wait to put Cluj back in their place!

    Think we can and will take 6 points from Cluj, 3-4 points from Rennes and hopefully 2 points from Lazio. Need to be at be at our best every game for that return mind.

    Big ask but possible. It's the first time I looked at a group and thought. We could potentially top this one.

    And your reply -

    Got to ask, and am not being a *. Has your opinion changed yet. Do you think we could top the group yet :60:

    While I think this is an easier group than last year this is an amazing start. I think we will beat Rennes at home and could easily get draws and possibly wins from the 2 away games.

    Will be very tough, but if we can take a point in the next game we really are in the driving seat.

    Another point I would like to make is the 2 teams from the "top 5" leagues are sitting 3rd and 4th, gaining a total of 1 point combined off Scottish and Romanian nobodies

    If Cluj and Rennes were to draw that would be beautiful.

    Cluj away last game suddenly looks massive

    Realistically, all we need is a draw/rennes win next game and a win against Cluj and we're through, Rennes are pretty much out and Cluj won't get anything in Rome
