Cluj have very recent and limited domestic success. Poor European pedigree. Tel Aviv have a rich domestic history. Poor European pedigree. A great draw for Wee Lennon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen Tel Aviv this season but watched a bit of the Cluj game against Astana knew they would beat Astana at home made some dosh on it. For me if any team beats a seeded team like Cluj and the Hungarians it's a tough draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Maccabi have actually been pretty decent in Europe recently, especially qualifying rounds. They made it to the CL group stage a few years ago and have made the Europa groups 4 times in the last 7 or 8 years, even making the Round of 32 once. Cluj obviously made several groups in the CL and the EL but that has dried up recently with them pretty much being a qualifying rounds team now. They were papped out of the Europa by Luxembourg side Dudelange last year, but the Astana win is a good win though. Neither of these 2 sides will be pushovers for Celtic but it’s also a decent draw when you look at some of the other teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the squad you have and the money Wee Lennon has spent to improve it you will easily defeat either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Probably as favourable as it could have been for Celtic. They are huge favourites against the Estonians and will be heavy favourites in the following round. After that it will be touch and go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 100% on this but what I read earlier is that it would likely be YB, BATE, APOEL or Slavia Prague. BATE and APOEL need to win their qualifiers to get there, the other 2 start in the play off round. Celtic would certainly start as favourites against 3 of the 4 but I wouldn't think the ties would be a shoe in, all potentially very difficult opponents, YB especially so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would expect Celtic to beat any of these teams, especially given the improvements Wee Lennon has been allowed to make to the squad, but I expected them to beat AEK last season so you can never be sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic should be confident against them all, for sure, but they are definitely potential banana skins given all have reasonable European experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastecoatwilly Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Fecking crazy if Kalju get beat with Celtic they could face the team they put out in the CL in the Europa. Thats just wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Afraid I am not making this one tonight as up in Orkney, even more of a pisser since its not on the tele. Can also see it being only 2/3rds full with the c***s charging nearly 25 pound for a game against an Estonian team ffs. Anyway shame Johnston's still out. Hopefully Julien starts and Lennon may find it an acceptable time to try 3-5-2. Edited July 24, 2019 by gannonball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so many on the HCTS now that they can charge more and not care about attendance. Edited July 24, 2019 by gannonball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may wish to take that into consideration before blowing all your guff on sectarianism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
