The OP Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Also, it's a pain in the arse that whenever we play decent teams the away leg is second. Think Shakhter Karagandy in 2013 is the last one I can remember where there was a decisive home tie where it felt like there was a chance of going out. Edit - Maribor in 2014 actually. That was a shiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im_Rodger Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Brutal draw for Celtic. Would imagine that AEK will be favourites for that potential meet up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 While I'm whinging, a wee bit annoying we don't get Rosenborg for free. I know we only usually get one European tie free but there is one more qualifier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what ? I don’t know enough about AEK to say they are favourites. Looking at last seasons stats they seem to score very few and concede very few.

I don’t watch a lot of Greek football so cannot comment on the quality. Would think that’s it’s probably a draw both teams would have liked to avoid.

hellbhoy Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 It was just about always going to be a c**t of a draw whoever Celtic got. Hopefully Rosenborg are a complete clusterfuck and their players have lost a lot of confidence that Celtic safely go into the next round. No point worrying or thinking about the Greeks until the final whistle blows in the second leg against Rosenborg with the scoreline in Celtic's favour. My only worry is that Celtic don't play or perform as good as the home leg in the away fixture, hopefully Brendan can motivate the team to perform better in away fixtures.

The OP Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I’ve complained about these qualifiers in the past but midweek beer garden followed by the Celtic is a pretty good deal. Heard the team is Gordon, Gamboa, Ajer, Hendry, Tierney, Forrest, Ntcham, Brown, Sinclair, McGregor, Edouard. Last time against Rosenborg we felt the want of a recognised striker, hopefully Eddie does the business and also helps defend from the front. Never thought I’d see Gamboa again (outwith the World Cup). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
