    I think we all learned a lesson with the season just ended there. Don't expect to win the treble easily, no matter how far you get in the competitions. Killie in the LC final was a disgraceful performance and although we were cheated against Hearts in the SC semi final, we should have had them long finished off before they were awarded that penalty.

    Personally, in the upcoming season, I reckon that a league title victory and the last 16 of the CL would be an amazing campaign. Maybe throw in one of the other domestic trophies, but I don't see us getting the treble, especially with European football to focus on after Christmas, hopefully.

    * *, talking about football brings back some memories. Feels like ages since everyone has sat down and actually spoke about our own club. I can't wait until the new season gets started, as I just want to put RFC behind me and move on with Celtic.

    Win league and get into CL groups.
    Anything else is a bonus.

    I expect us to win the league by about 20 points and win one of either the Scottish cup or League Cup.

    In Europe I expect us to finish 3rd in our CL group and reach the EL Quarter finals.

    I think after the dissapointment of losing out on the Scottish Cup and League Cup , it would be good to get them along with the league. Also, qualifying for the CL Groups is an essential too. That might be asking a bit too much.

    I'd go for this seems a lot more realistic ,though obviously I'd want us to do better

    Trebles are notoriously difficult and tricky achievements, so I would urge a degree of caution. I think the league title is almost a certainty, because that is about consistency over the course of the entire season, but anything can happen when it comes to Cups.

    Qualifying for the Champions League would be a huge achievement, and still being active in Europe after the turn of the year (either in CL or EL) would be the cherry on top.

    Prediction: Domestic Double & EL Knock Out phase (last 32/16).

    Make some good summer signings capable of getting a double, I always expect a clanger, and fingers crossed champs league group stages. would be amazing.

    Yes we will win the treble considering rangers didnt knock us out of either cup, there are still other teams in scottish football who can beat us as at times we are pretty * ourselves....

    delighted if we win the league again and qualify for the champs league. last 16 is a dream but not impossible, would more than happily accept 3rd and going a few rounds in the europa.

    League should be a cert, i was disappointed how we threw away the best chance weve had in years to get the treble last season so ill be expecting much more this time, realistically i expect a treble infact we all should. In europe currently i dont think were CL level so a good run in the EL and i'll be happy ..... by good run i mean getting out of the group stages .

    I fully expect us to win the quadrouple :icon_mrgreen:
    In all seriousness, Europe is the big one for me. I think we will qualify for the group stage of the CL, that's what I'd really love to see for the season. Depending on how we do in qualifying, I genuinely don't think it's outwith the realms of possibility to get out of the group if we get a good draw. Not really expecting that though. Given the huns situation, I think it's fair to say we're not in much danger of losing our title. I'd like to add at least one cup to that, but obviously we should be going for the treble. Cups being what they are, it's a bit dangerous to assume we'll win either one of them, however I really do think we'll win the treble in the forseeable future.

    I'm quietly confident that we'll win the league this year - but don't quote me on that.
