    It looks likely that we could be in pot three if we qualify for next season's Champions League group stages.

    Would be a huge boost if we do manage to go into as third seeds. Could give us a realistic chance of getting out of the group, or at the very least getting into the Europa League after Christmas.

    Good news for us if it remains that way. Being in a higher pot will do our chances the world of good.

    So Europa League should be the minimum after Christmas

    Would be an even bigger incentive to get the wallet out..

    Knowing our luck if we do qualify and get a touch going straight in to the third pot we'll end up with the top pot 4 team..

    Does this mean that we'd avoid Barca?

    Would be good to have a weaker team in our group again, feel like it's been awhile.

    Aalborg is the last one I remember, didn't go too well, but still.

    I know the CL is the land of milk and honey. But for me the Europa is for the purists.

    I want to be in the CL every year because it give us a huge financial and profile boost. The type of which will ensure we will be the dominate club in Scotland for years to come.

    However, while I'm obviously going to cheer us on in every game hoping we progress to the last 16, I'm also a realist. And I'd happily settle for third in the group so that we can hope to have a good run in the Europa League - a competition we have far more chance of winning.

    Agree. Its one trophy i want my hands on for our club. Another great adventure like seville only this time win it. Celtic in another european final will happen. Will it be next year, 5 years from now or a few decades, i dont know but i do know one thing, itll happen because of who we are. I honestly think its going to happen with Brendan. Another few cracking players, alot of luck and well get there im sure of it.
