Expectations for coming season...

If we sign Souza I'll expect us to give a decent showing in Europe, be that the CL or Europa. Win the league, of course, and maybe a cup. League is the priority, but improving in Europe is so so important and I think Ange will see it that way too.

 

League and cup double and a big home win against an elite side in the groups. Not expecting to get through the group, in fairness getting through to the Europa knockouts would be exceeding expectations given how tough the draw is likely to be. Can’t expect a treble as it’s always possible to have one off day/bad ref decision in a cup tie but league is a must. Anything above that just want to see progression to continue like it did all the way through last season. And obviously getting the better of the Glasgow derbies

 

If we get the “easiest” group, we’ll definitely have a chance.

If we get the usual - a group with two giants, the best we can realistically hope for is 3rd.

 

Win the Sydney Cup

 

Domestic wise it’s League and Cup preferably the SC this time, Skelp the Huns and The Diets, 3 or 4 times

in CL hold our own and have a big few nights at home qualify for knockout either CL or EL

doing that would be an amazing season

 

Honestly need to disagree with a lot of comments made here. I think we might be something of a suprise package in Europe this year. Not saying we are going to win but we are going to shock some this year.

Last year in Europa/conference we had a team still gelling, still developing and lacking quality in depth. Mind we had been starting ajeti in some of those games, if memory serves me right I think McCarthy got a start along the way and am sure Welsh started more than a couple too. Since then GG has found a whole new level, Kyogo looks to have put that injury to bed, maeda and hatate finally had time to rest a little and our troublesome lb area might have been resolved. We have come a long long way since our last European outings and it appears our business isn't even done yet. I am being greedy here I know but if we get a CB that's better than starfelt and a CM enforcer that allows Callum to play higher up the pitch again then we are in for treat this year. Honestly believe we will be something of a suprise package in Europe this year, not saying we will win it but for me getting to the last 16 is feasible. It depends on the draw, our final signings and as always having a little bit of luck along the way.

What's most exciting and pleasing is I feel like for the first time in a long time the board seem to be pursuing a team that can hold its own at CL group stage!

Cannot wait for this season to begin

 

Domestically, we all know the expectations. Thrash the huns, win the league, make a go of the treble.

In Europe, we need to win away from home. Regardless of the group, we need to start improving our performance in that regard. I think the CL will be a real test of how far Ange's footballing philosophy can go, how adaptable it is, etc. Looking forward to it.

 

I’m not wiriting us off in the CL, but i’d be more than happy with a decent run in the EL and the league…

 

When is the an group draw anyway....I genuinely can't stand waiting for the season to start anymore.

Most excited I've been for a long long time

 

I'd love a couple big wins in the champions league and a few draws. Hopefully enough for 3rd but maybe 2nd. Thing is this season will be very strange. How many big teams will we play where the players don't want injured for the world cup? This really could go in our favour.

 

It's not so much the signings that are giving me unrealistic expectations for next season, it's thinking about what everyone says about Ange's teams. We played some truly brilliant stuff at times last season, if based on what people who know Ange's teams are saying I can't imagine how good we'll be with a more settled squad, full pre season behind us and even more time on the training ground

 

At least the league and a cup.
Should really be aiming for latter stages of Europe, QF of Europa or last 16 of CL. Last 16 of CL is a big ask as I expect us to get a cunty group as per

 

Win at least one game by double figures. All that matters.

 

Aye, been wanting this for a while. Six/seven-nil is sometimes a disappointment. St Johnstone (IIRC) should have had a dozen past them.

I expect the treble with an average of 3.5 goals per game in the league. Gonna be fun trying...

 

Yeah I’m with you regarding the European comments. The whole we got smashed by Bodo is being overdone. We had 63% possession in the first game, we had 16 shots to 7… the goals were 2 LB defensive errors and a deflection. We were without both Kyogo and GG. Second game we started a weakened team to prioritise the league and taking automatic CL qualification.

As a unit, we are strengthening further and a proper DM(Souza is our answer and Ange & Mick know this) for Europe will see McGregor shifted forward providing more legs in our midfield.

Europe will be much improved this season and that excites me.

 

I expect to be naked every weekend save for the odd blip along the way!

I reckon we will smash opponents in the league regularly. Europe - as long as we don’t get our perfectly formed * handed to us every Tuesday/Wednesday in the autumn then I will be happy.

 

League - Winners
LC - Winners
SC - Winners
Beat Huns in every domestic game
CL - Third would be amazing but i feel with the calibre of teams it may be a step too far

With the squad we have, domestically I am hoping that the league will be an easy ride this year, where as fans we can relax more and have it won before the split.

I also hope that when VAR comes in after the WC it does it's job without prejudice.

 

1. win the league.
2. win the treble or 1 of the 2 cups
3. win a european knockout tie after christmas

 

Win the league, one cup and 3rd in the CL. The league is the priority though.

Also expect Celtic to improve the first 11 or at the very least bring guys in who will challenge for first team spots
