Celtic in Europe in 22-23 Season

We want Madrid 5th or 6th game when they have already qualified. They'll rest players and we'll take advantage.

Sheriff done it, plus they've lost some big players casemeiro.

 

Allow me to clutch at straws


If modric is wanting service in the world cup from josip, he's gonna be easy of us. If Madrid have qualified, I don't see their big stars playing a mid week game ahead of the world cup, why risk the injury

 

Watch this. A minute in. I'm in tears

 

We should be beating Leipzig and Shaktar at home, the Madrid game will likely be a high scoring end to end game.

The away games are always gonna be the ones we’ll struggle in, hopefully add another defensive mid and we’ll be looking good. We have plenty pace to play counter, will certainly be entertaining to watch.

 

He looks like he’s gonna greet not being able to tell his story

 

It's unreal haha..

The main guy cuts him up then apologises to Miller and they carry on while he's cut to the bone

 

Realistically iam happy with 7 points from the group

If we can get 3rd Iam more than happy with Europe after Christmas

Forgot RedBull got Werner back I can see him getting his groove back with them tbh

 

Real Madrid at home, last game of the group in November. Would be 10 years since the Barca game, get another full stadium tiffo for the 135 year anniversary.

Too much to ask for a wee 2-1 win as well?

 

I’m just basing it off their form last season which was poor and obviously Shaktar has played very little football.

If we are going to compete at this level those are the kind of games we need to get back to winning at home. Obviously I’m being optimistic but this draw is a great opportunity for 2nd or 3rd.

 

Would have taken Leipzig and Shakhtar all day long from pots 2 and 3. Expect to get a top side somewhere along the line, so I’m not bothered about getting Madrid. They are a team that grows into the tournament and do have a tendency to drop points in the group stages over the past few seasons, so you never know, we might get something in the home game. Happy with the draw though, because there was potentially a few disasters when our name come out.

 

while i admire the optimism its almost as if bodo glimt never happened .without any serious additions to last years squad assuming points from any of these games is unrealistic .sure we have a chance but we need at least 2 top players in before the window shuts

 

I know where you are coming from, but I think we are a better team now than then. Europe was a free hit last season for Ange. We threw together a team in a short space of time at the beginning of last season. We are far better prepared for a crack at Europe now.

 

We couldn’t have handpicked any weaker teams from pot 2 and 3.

Leipzig and Shakhtar by far the biggest outliers so you’ve got to think we should be fancying doing damage in this.

 

I think your pessimism is justified, especially when you look at our record in Europe over the last 15+ years.

The draw is much better than I expected but I still wouldn't say I'm confident. It could have been a lot worse, yes, but I've seen us too many times crumble in Europe against much weaker opposition than Leipzig and Shakhtar.

Will it be different this time around? Let's see. To tell the truth I'd be delighted at finishing third. I just can't see us pumping * home and away without a proper DM.
