    The next week or so is shaping up to be a massive one for us on and off the park, transfers, Europe and a game against the uglies.

    Will be very interesting to see what happens, and how we emerge from it.

    Sometimes the world has good guys. We're the good guys and everyone knows the good guys win.

    I see us qualifying, smashing the huns, signing new wingers who can kick a ball and idah finally scoring 3 a game... OK av went a bit far :56:

    For my own sanity I am. If I prepare myself I'll just be annoyed and disappointed rather than angry.

    It really is and lets not forget tomorrow we should be all talking about the fact we have the chance to go 7 points clear of sevco and really put the heat on them ahead of their game Sunday. Yet what the heck is our lineup going to be with Johnston, Trusty, Idah now all out and Daizen probably needing to be rested.

    We're a KT injury away from the worst Celtic side in years. The board need to get their finger out or this season could be a write off.

    I’ll be honest, I’m not expecting to qualify. I’m hoping the team surprises me.

    A pivot point in the history of Celtic. Qualify and push on or fail to qualify and either stagnate or worse.

    That’s the enormity of the remainder of August, already.

    I'd rather not go through with the squad we have.

    With that said, we'll get mauled in the Europa too and the board will absolutely not facilitate any adequate levels of spending to give us the best possible chance in that competition.

    A competent club would have strengthened sufficiently already, making the UCL qualification far easier. In the event that we didn't make it still, we would probably have enough in the squad to have a good run in the Europa, especially with another few quality additions.

    We fail to prepare and prepare to fail no matter what tier of European football we're competiting in. Going deep into either competition is stuff of fantasy because the board don't care for it. They won't sanction the players to give us the best chance possible. That is not within the scope of their "ambition".

    We're in a lose-lose situation as fans under these charlatans.

    Kairat are, by CL standards, a poor team. But, currently, so are we. And, unlike Kairat, we are neither defensively disciplined nor highly motivated. Should we actually make it through then the feel-good factor may push us on to get a decent result against sevco. If we go out in Kazakhstan then the disappointment combined with the long journey will make a decent result almost impossible. As for signings, it seems incredible to think that we won't bring in reinforcements but then it's incredible we haven't already. My guess is we'll get a winger, probably Balikwisha and, if we make the CL, a loan RB to cover for AJ.

    If we lose both games this week then it's going to really ugly especially inside the stadium for the next home game and we really shouldn't be in this situation if these dinosaurs were running the club properly.

    Don’t know how any Celtic fan, no matter how raging they are, can even contemplate never mind put out into the universe that first sentence.

    Doesn’t matter to us as fans who the squad are, when Celtic play we support Celtic and that’s the affliction we’ve all been born with or inherited.
