hellbhoy Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Onto a Greek tragedy it is then. Shite game but then again I did expect a draw and possibly Rosenborg even winning this leg by a single goal. Celtic need another striker and two defenders of note. The squad is showing lack of depth imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Job done but you would fear the worst if they got to the group stages. A few pick a number between 4 and 7 type hidings would seem likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Get the feeling Rosenborg could have played for another 180 minutes and did f**k all with the ball there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeArab Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Decent result for Celtic. AEK Athens will be tricky. If they get through them they’ll make the group stages (last round would be against: Young Boys, Qarabag, Red Star Belgrade and Malmo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have AEK as slight favourites, simply going by the fact PAOK gubbed Basel and Olympiacos are always seeded above us. If we got through we could also face Videoton, BATE or Spartak Trnava depending on results against the above (but Young Boys will definitely be in the draw). Also, draw is a day or two before the AEK first leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basel are absolutely shite right now. Lost their 2 best players (Lang and Elyounoussi) which has left them with no organisation at the back and little threat in attack. I wouldn't be surprised to see them finish 3/4 in the league, unless they make a few huge signings before the transfer window shuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 For those scoring at home, Crvena zvezda are better known as Red Star Belgrade lol. Looking at the potential playoff draws if Celtic beat AEK Athens there are a lot of potential tough trips, the aforementioned Red Star for one as well as Dinamo Zagreb and BATE are all really strong. Knowing our luck it will be Astana (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed....although I had Osijek as favourites last night simply going by the fact that Croatia got to the World Cup final and Scotland didn't qualify.

The thing about that theory is that none of the Croatia World Cup squad played for Osijek and only one played in the Croatian league and very few Rangers players play for Scotland. My theory is flawed sure enough but I think it 's a bit more of a guide for how good the Greek champions will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As pointed out, virtually none of that Croatian national team play their club football at home. Their domestic league is not particularly strong, but nobody would criticise Croatia as a football nation. That's why I'm not too fussy how our clubs perform in the rigged sideshow that is represented by the UEFA club competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
