    Very good mate. Think I needed to read something like that and put in that manner.
    The natural pessimist in me just felt the draw was an awkward one to get so early on in the competition.
    I am thinking we should come through them as long as we're prepared properly which to be fair to Brendan it's something that he's proved to be excellent at.
    Reckon it's going to be exciting either way!

    Would be some laugh if he won the league and we played him in the qualifiers.

    Whilst I agree on paper we're the side opposition will/ should fear I dont think we should underestimate sides like Rosenborg

    or overestimate our own readiness

    Whilst fitness levels are high we are going into these ties off the back of 2 jam packed seasons worth of football with quite literally * all rest and without any real match sharpness

    whack on to that two long * flights to get the * of Europe to kick a ball about on a * pitch full of hammer throwers in 40 degree heat

    Then after that, a trip north of the wall to a side full of * white walkers whose season started 3 months ago at a notoriously noisey ground

    These ties are an absolute ball ache and shouldnt be dismissed as formalities imo

    That being said were a CL team with a wealth of young international talent with a world class manager at its helm and a world renowned fanbase at its back

    Bring it on

    As the prize money has went up what money do the other scottish teams get has that went up as scottish football needs all the money it can get to try and improve . Because of our team qualifying last two seasons like to think we play a part in that.

    Folk already replying saying they've booked flights to land Wednesday based on earlier info. What a nightmare.

    Doesnt take much to take St Johnstone out. In fact they are exactly that, part time *.

    The armenian league is atrociously bad. They are one of the easiest opponents we could get. Of course, Celtic just as all other scottish clubs love making those european qualifiers more complicated than they actually is, but the reason why St Johnstone lost to this team is because they are a bunch of unprofessional * players coming fat from holidays coached by a hun moron with loser mentality

    Couldnt have put that bit at the end better the reason St johnstone went out is because they didn't want to come back early and prepare. they have complained time and time again about it. coming up with excuses that it wasn't worth the money to go play. they deserved to go out with that attitude disgrace to the game and happy to see them outside the top six

    They’re certainly a step up from the likes of KR Reykjavik,stjarnan,red imps and linfield who we have played in our previous first qualifiers.

    Alashkert is lower ranked than all of those teams in the UEFA club coefficient rankings. Can't see them making much trouble for us over two legs.

    Perhaps it's just as well Scotland didn't make the world cup

    We’ll go over and kick their * in. The Kardashian’s are Armenian. That’s quite an important fact for our tie.

    The uefa club rankings mean * all mate, If we are at our best they won’t be a problem to us, all I’m saying is there’s easier draws we could have got.

    Yeah mate, dont get me wrong by my agressive tone. Just think St Johnstone are a bunch of losers that see playing football as a burden and should have their professional license revoked.

    But mainly, we could field a quite experimental team, with the likes of Mikey Johnston and Calvin Miller in it, to give the big sharks a break, and I would still think it would be sort of disappointed to not win easily. We cannot throw the development team as the stakes are too high, but sure it's a good chance to rotate squad and use this game as part of the preparation.
