    Been * me off for years and me and the old man discuss it often.

    I like to imagine us in a European League - where we are actually relegation fodder when it comes to Champions League level club. A pot 4 team.

    We need to build a squad that will take us to a solid pot 3, maybe even sneaking a pot 2 level squad, but the more we do as you say - waiting and seeing - the more we drift further behind.

    Cluj, ferencvaros, Astana, AEK, Basel, are all clubs that we should be well and truly above! I add Basel in there because I mind when we played them years ago and since then they have actually became a decent European outfit, whereas we are a no mark has been in the Europeen stage.
    It's depressing as *.

    Well done to both the sheep and motherwell tonight as well! Not sure what their next round is going to look like, but those sort of results will do them wonders.

    Good to see Scottish clubs do well in Europe,with the added bonus of a club like Glentoran getting a bit of a kicking.

    Europe is mostly about income for us and a season without Europe would be disastrous for us from that perspective

    True but that ship has sailed for now. Hopefully we realise this for next years campaign, which with a bit of luck will be another shot at CL qualification.

    All they need to do is just go out and somehow manage to win their next two games in Europe and they will be in the group stages, let's hope we all get the luck of the draw and help improve the coeff rapidly.

    I just don't think Motherwell or Aberdeen are capable of winning 3 more rounds. A half decent side will put them out.

    We will only ever become “good enough” by making a mark in Europe. Let’s have it right, in summer 2021, what quality will we attract by saying “we’ve one 10 SPL titles in a row but were dumped out both the CL and EL in qualifying rounds, sign your name here”. Whilst not the champions league by any stretch, the Europa league is still a platform A. For our prized assets’ prices to go up through good displays and B. For potential signings from the continent etc. To take note of us.

    the 10 doesn’t mean to outsiders what it means to us.....

    the fact any Celtic fan wouldn’t want us playing in Europe at any level is ludicrous.

    We have no chance, none whatsoever, of winning or even making the final of the Europa league. We have a very good chance of doing the 10 though it will be harder than some people think. EL group stage football will mean extra fatigue, more injuries and more squad rotation for league games. That is a fact. Maybe we could manage both but I'm not confident given what I've seen so far this season. If we don't win the title this year it means sevco do and I can well imagine the s**t we will have to put up with should that happen and that is why there is nothing ludicrous about prioritizing the 10 over Europe.

    Yes but our Stock and Financial Clout gets weaker and weaker if we are not in Europe.Also how do our players learn and develop in the vital European Theatre without playing in it.There is no reason why we cannot still have a European Adventure and do the 10 this season,we just need to get the hunger and belief back into our Club and fast with only the players who want to really really play for us.
    Right now i would take winning the league and a last 8 in Europa League big time.That would beat another treble hands down.We will have created Massive Domestic History with the 10 while increasing belief beyond our shores,and then next season get back in the Champions League Group Stages where our Massive Great Club belongs.
