    Good level of oppositions. Don't think any of them will take it lightly and should set us up for the qualifiers

    First qualifier will be an 'easier' tie, so expect is to be at a good level going in to that

    Seems smart, sort of level of teams will be facing in the qualifiers, especially Maribor

    That would be a brilliant trip. Slovenia looks like a lovely place to visit.

    Just the other way about re Maribor and Ljubljana fixtures.

    Was a nice wee spot Maribor for football fans, wee square and friendly enough locals bar a few wanting to box after the game.

    Done train from Zagreb to Ljubljana which was stunning and that was in the winter so in the summer even more so I'd imagine.

    Qualifiers come first though.

    Tickets for the Leicester game now on sale to season ticket holders on a first come first served basis. If your ticket is located in the standing section and you wish to be in there then you can only buy your ticket on the phone or in person at the TO. £20 which is a decent surprise as I thought the organisers of the tournament would have pushed for higher prices so fair play to Celtic for making it a reasonable price.

    Should be a good game, for a friendly.

    Probably fair play to Celtic here, I'd imagine the organisers would have wanted higher pricing with the club fighting their corner. Don't normally bother with friendlies but feel good factor, standing, decent kick-off time etc will probably see me go. Think some folk might be in for a shock with the Leicester fans going by the battles we had with them in 2001 friendly.

    Have a feeling Leicester fans will be right *. Always think it's a bit * that the family section is right next to the away support.

    Sturm, Olimpija and Maribor are good level of opponents to be playing. Smart move.

    Around the level we will play in the qualifiers.

    My exact feelings as well :50:

    And as you say, from what happened in 2001 there will most likely be a similar edge to it and no doubt be joined by their brothers in blue.......
