CL PO vs Olympiakos/Ludogorets if we beat Malmo- EL Draw Kairat/Alashkert if we lose.

[Ross_]

It’s a winnable tie if we overcome Malmo.

let’s be honest at the final qualifier there will be no mugs left all good teams on there day.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Ideally want Celtic to get a long away trip before the old firm game

 

[The Golden God]

Wtf is this Europa draw all about?

Priority this priority that, get on with it

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

Every time i watch olympiakos in europe i think they are quite a poor side(might not be recent right enough) good record of getting there, crazy supporters hot weather yeah fair enough...id guess ludo might win that simply cos i hope so i like them as they have a bit of a rep for being very attacking and good to watch.

on and also yahoos will play rapid vienna for sure.

 

[Madjid Moments]

It’s a tough but winnable draw!

 

[Ek_blue]

Rangers v Olympiakos to qualify for the CL is the exact kind of game that Morelos will thrive in. Buzzing.

 

[julescotia]

St. Johnstone get THE RANDERS

 

[Coisty09]

For me, that is the best draw of the lot for us.
We have a reasonable chance of making the group stages.

 

[Thor]

You’re saying that but we don’t get nothing for making the Europa league . If we beat Malmö then lose to the Greeks we get a £5 million parachute payment straight away , then about £15 million for the Europa groups including gate and prize money .

Can't agree with that! The Champions League is where I want to see my club. Waking up on the morning of a game and knowing you're going to go and see Rangers in the Champions League and hear that music far outweighs the buzz you get for the Europa. Being a Champions League club not only gives us more money but also will get us more money re sponsorships, Castore etc. We should be able to get even better sponsorships deals in the future due to the exposure our club would get. Personally I do see what the fuss is about re Champions League!

 

[Jjbscotty]

Tims get alkmar in europa league.

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

I haven’t a clue what’s going on here

 

[Kimarcus]

That's a really good draw for St Johnstone. Won't likely make a difference though as Gala will beat them.

 

[julescotia]

Scum get AZ

 

[Bleedsroyalblue]

If St Johnstone can get past Galatasaray (very difficult) they have a reasonable chance of getting to the groups.

 

[TheEgg]

Haha scum got AZ

 

[The Golden God]

Ooft tims get Alkmaar

The conference awaits them

 

[DoubleWhopper]

I haven’t a clue what’s going on here

I can confirm Celtic have just been eliminated from the Europa league aswell

 

[Moz]

Celtic vs AZ
AZ just lost Boadu but still should be a tough game

 

[Bleedsroyalblue]

Be very surprised if Celtic aren't playing in the conference league.

 

[YoungGer97]

Tims in the mud hahahahahaha

 

[Wade Wilson]

Tims get alkmaar*

 

[JD1872]

Ooft conference league beacons for that lot

 

[ICA_86]

Gerrard's planning for this, if we beat Malmo, would be interesting, in terms of strengthening the squad etc.

I don’t think we can really bring anyone in at such short notice and expect them to play a deciding role in this type of tie.

 

[Kimarcus]

You’re saying that but we don’t get nothing for making the Europa league . If we beat Malmö then lose to the Greeks we get a £5 million parachute payment straight away , then about £15 million for the Europa groups including gate and prize money .

It's €5m not £5m. Plus if you are including gate money then the money we get for the CL will be £30m+

 

[Deek]

Would their away game be the Thur before OF game?

 

[Sheamaker]

Ideally want Celtic to get a long away trip before the old firm game

 

[1872GFX]

Happy with the draw.. could have been worse and possibly a little better. If we can't beat Malmö then ludogrets/olympiacos we don't deserve to be in the champions league. Second leg being away from home is a bit c ap though.

Either way it's a very winnable tie that gives us a real chance to get a big pot of gold

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

It’s one of the most intimidating atmospheres in Europe , coupled with the heat I’d want at least a 3 goal lead going there . Also we can’t kill the tie with an away goal now either since the crazy rule change .

At least 3 goals we aint up against one of the favs here mate.

 

[Moz]

Would their away game be the Thur before OF game?

Yep

 

[Brave13VVV]

Would their away game be the Thur before OF game?

Yes

 

[Deek]

Yep

Short journey but tough game, if they make it that far :shh:

 

[sw26]

Will take that.

No ‘easy’ games at this stage but a great chance to progress and that’s all we can ask for. Just need to take care of business v Malmö first.

 

[Macdonsj]

Ideally want Celtic to get a long away trip before the old firm game

any trip is now a long one with Angelina giving it "mate" every 5 seconds

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Ooft conference league beacons for that lot

They don't need beacons, they've got the disco lights.

 

[Mac72]

If they manage to get past the Czech's they are getting pumped

 

[UnionCruiser72]

Alkmaar we’re a very decent team last season.

I think they’ll beat Celtic.

 

[cammyranger]

Ideal - means they will be away at Alkmaar the Thursday before the Old Firm. Cushions the fact we will be in Athens on either the Tuesday or Wednesday before it.

(Assuming Jablonec don't pump them)

 

[Gazman_Airdrie]

Would their away game be the Thur before OF game?

Yes, if they beat the Czechs they are away to AZ Alkmaar the Thursday night before Ibrox.

 

[Jjbscotty]

If we lose in the play off round do we go straight into the europa league groups?

 

[JMCK]

I don’t think we can really bring anyone in at such short notice and expect them to play a deciding role in this type of tie.

Might give greater depth though.

 

[The Golden God]

Here we go

 

[Moz]

Please beat Malmo because %^*& going to Kazakstan or Armenia

 

[julescotia]

Ooooooft .... Kazak or Armenia

 

[Kimarcus]

Annoying draw for us imo. Big distance to travel. Hopefully get past Malmo and it doesn't matter.

 

[Macdonsj]

Khazakhstan or Armenia should we fail to beat Malmo

 

[The Golden God]

Easy draw imo, pity about the travel though

 

[Recoba]

If we lose in the play off round do we go straight into the europa league groups?

Yes we do

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

That’s a stinking draw. Hopefully we do the business in the CL.

 

[Jelle1880]

Even if we lose to Malmo (hope not of course) that should be basically a bye into the EL groups stages.

 

[Main Stand]

If we lose in the play off round do we go straight into the europa league groups?

Yes mate.
