    If you want the easy opposition, go play in the Europa. Bring on the best, we'll take them down.

    I'm just sick of having 'the group of death', every * time. I think the prestige of getting through to the last 16 would be much better.

    Also, any team we get will be * hard anyway.

    Nah, I think there's enough teams getting into the CL who don't deserve to be there.

    I'd prefer us to come up against PROPER * world class teams every single season - the spoils are far much more exciting.

    Possibly mate, think some would view us as that, which is why I see your point. I want every possible chance of us getting through.

    I get both arguments for wanting the real big guns and also for wanting teams that we may have a chance of beating and making thru to the last 16, tbh i'm just glad we're in it. :84: :52:

    Me too mate, I'd in no way be turning my nose up at qualifying again for the last 16, but me personally would just to see us come up against the best, AND qualify :84:

    Getting into the group stages is our remit - anything else is a bonus.

    Doesn't make it feel any better.
    That's like settling for the fat ugly chick in the club at 3am, only for her to turn around and say, "you weren't my first choice either". :56:

    Liverpool. Few of my mates support them and I have listened to them * on Celtic for years, would be sweet to ram it all down their throats.

    Failing that Manchester United, for pretty much the same reasons only they tend to care less than the Liverpool fans so it wouldn't be as enjoyable winding them up when we beat them.

    Mane and Salah frighten me.

    They look red hoat at the moment. Mane is * flying, Lustig would need to get NOS fitted into his clogs for that game ffs.

    Their defence is ropey as * though, could see it being two cracking games.

    Real Madrid
    Porto
    Basel

    Nice glamour tie against Real, tough matches against the other 2 but I'd fancy us at home against Porto and Basel and possibility of points away also....a group like that would give us a chance of some form of Euro fitba after Xmas and also the chance to see Real at Parkhead.

    To be honest, that is the type of group I want. Really want to see Real Madrid come to CP. But then the other 2 teams have to be games where we can get points

    Its tough to decide between wanting the glamour tie against Real Madrid and wanting to avoid them due to the very real possibility we get humbled at the Bernabeu. Results like the 7-0 to Barca are a dagger to the heart but then again the possibility of beating them on our own patch like the glorious 2-1 victory against Messi and co live long in the memory. * it, BRING THEM ON!!!

    Didn't mind Liverpool or United when I was younger as they were hated in London and I used to find it funny that all the big club's down here were nowhere near them. Also had good day's out at both..

    As the year's have gone on though, I really cannot stand either of them for hundred's of reason's. Both supports being a major reason..

    I'd like Basel if it were possible, are they in our pot no?

    Mind we were always linked with (or so it seemed) Hakan Yakin, woulda * loved him at Celtic back in the day. Always seemed like we were in talks with cracking players then end up with players like Steve Guppy.

    Yakin in Celtic talks
    [​IMG]
    Happiness, not money is the key for Hakan Yakin

    Swiss international Hakan Yakin expects to hold signing talks with Celtic.

    But the Glasgow club appear to have been snubbed by Yildiray Basturk.

    Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed that they accepted an offer from Celtic for the Turkey international.

    But Basturk, who helped Turkey knock Brazil out of the Confederations Cup, has reportedly rejected the opportunity of a move to Scotland.

    That blow appears to have encouraged Celtic boss Martin O'Neill to further pursue long-standing target Yakin.

    I can confirm that we have accepted an offer from Celtic

    Leverkusen's Reiner Calmund

    The midfielder was outstanding as Basle defeated Celtic in last season's Champions League qualifier.

    Yakin's agent, Ertan Irizik, told the Daily Express: "When the Celtic manager returns from his holiday then we will speak with him.

    "I can't say when the talks will take place. This has not been settled.

    "But it is important that both myself and Hakan are present for the discussions and we are ready to come to Glasgow.

    Basturk eyes Liverpool

    "This isn't a financial deal, it's about what will make Hakan happiest.

    "Hakan knows this is a big move and wants to make sure that he gets a good feeling from the coach who is looking to sign him and that is why he wants to meet people directly."
