    Is Daryl Murphy still injured? Before the 1st leg the sports news said he was, but today they mentioned who was injured and he wasn't named? Doubt he'll get many games this year anyway.

    2-1 to the Hoops, with plenty of squeaky bum moments. :)

    Should be close to a full house tonight. Hopefully a great European night on tap for us. I am a bit anxious about our lineup though with so many important players either out for sure or others seemingly carrying injuries.

    I reckon it will be 
                    Forster

Matthews, Wilson, Mulgrew, Izaguirre

            Brown      Wanyama

Forrest      Commons     Samaras

            Hooper

    I dont think Rogne will be fit, still will be a very strong Celtic lineup but an inexperienced bench.

    We will miss out on transfer targets, it was always going to happen by playing it this safe. I rather go into the season with what we have that have panic buys tbh

    He's recovered from his hamstring injury but he will not start and likely not even get off the bench. Reports suggesting he will join Ipswich for the season on loan. If so, Lawwell will have cleared out every piece of deadwood except Josh Thompson, which is impressive.

    Agree 100% this time 12 months is a far more important transfer window for Celtic, a respectable European campaign under our belts, and a very good financial outlook and we should be able to attract a higher calibre of player in 12 months than right now.

    Wouldn't mind Arsenal from Pot 1. They'd still be faves of course but looks like they will struggle this year with Van Persie and others leaving the club.

    I'd imagine because of our home form and atmosphere we'll be the team in pot 4 most teams will want to avoid, it's going to be tough to get even 3rd place but can't see us being embarrassed

    Dortmund, PSG, Montpellier & Galatasaray are in Pot 4. We are not the most feared team in Pot 4, not by a long shot imo

    The list I saw earlier on wiki(i think) had PSG & Galatasaray both in pot 3, not the most reliable source but either way I think we'll give anyone a game at home.

    Ah here, come on. Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva or Charlie Mulgrew and Gary Hooper. Lets not let the green and white goggles get in the way of realism.

    There's the teams for the draw tomorrow.

    I'd like a Battle of Britain for a bit of publicity like Lenny says. Perfect draw for me would be Arsenal, Braga and Spartak. Great to be back in the big time.

    Where exactly in my post did I suggest we were anywhere near that standard??

    In fact if you bothered to read it you'd have seen I said it'll be tough for us to get 3rd place so think you might want to change your goggles

    So why would anyone want to avoid Celtic as opposed to teams like Dortmund and PSG who might actually make a dent in the knockout stages?

    Well for a start PSG aren't in pot 4 so you can rule them out, yes Dortmund are a very good team so I'll give you that one but I think we'll give teams a tougher game than any of the others in pot 4. Do you disagree?

    I would want Arsenal to avoid Celtic over Gala & MontP for sure.

    Higher seeds, Basel & København, going out actually does push PSG & Galatasaray into Pot 3. I rather they stayed in Pot4 tbh

    Yes I disagree about Malaga, Dortmund and Montpellier. All significantly better teams than Celtic.

    I'd go for Porto, Kyiv, Spartak & us, long trips for the away games against Kyiv and Spartak but winable at home

    I want Real Madrid, ManC & PSG. We'd get more revenue from the market pool payout that way.

    Malaga? No chance, they've pawned off their best players this summer
