    bit of a bogey

    Cmon the hoops -what another great night! The sky's the limit!

    So we can get PSG, Schalke, Malaga, Borussia Dortmund, Juve, Bayern or Man U.

    Fixtures are:
    1st leg : 12-20 February 2013
    2nd leg : 5-13 March 2013

    Will we be playing at home in the first leg or does it work like that?

    Absolutely delighted tonight, to qualify from the group as 4th seeds takes some doing but to do it while beating barca and finally getting an away win is amazing.

    Wasn't our best performance but Spartak are no mugs and came to get result, again great credit to Lennon for putting together a young squad on a shoestring budget that doesn't look out of place at this level.

    Roll on the draw!

    Fair play to Celtic tonight and throughout the group phase. Not many teams make it through from qualifying to the quarter finals. Man City and their legion of mercenaries could learn a lesson from the attitude of the Celtic lads. On another point Barcelona were a fúcking disgrace tonight. FOr all their shíte about playing the game properly, being more than a club and all that bull, they showed a shocking disregard for the competiton and a complete lack of respect for Celtic with that team selection. After all Celtics efforts during the group even a win tonight would have been in vain if Benfica had beaten an understrength team. Bad form. At least selected Rooney, Smalling, Jones, De Gea, Welbeck, CLeverley, Hernandez to make a competitive game of it. Its not as if Barca are playing Madrid at the weekend.

    agree to an extent but if Celtic went out tonight it would have been their own fault due to their failure to beat Benfica at home and hold onto a point in the Nou Camp. One point that should be noted is that if we had have held on in Barcelona, we would have won the group as we would have had 11 and Barca have 11 but we would have had a better head to head! Still though, delighted for all concerned and especially for Lennon. He could have snapped in his interviw at the critics of the team recently but I thought his praise and thanks to O'Neill and Strachan was a touch of class.

    absolutely agree, there's six games in the group to do the business, draw and fixture list may or may not favour certain teams , **** happens

    Congrats lads, what sport should be about imo.

    Thought Lennon's interview after the game was class and dignity personified. Ye will give whoever it is a fair rattle that's for sure.

    Not bad, not bad at all
    Celtic have made nearly 30 million euros in guaranteed revenue from UEFA for their participation in the Champions League this season.

    Neil Lennon's side have accumulated €28.7m (£23.3m) through a combination of UEFA base payments, performance related bonuses and TV money.

    €2.1m for the Playoff games? Really? Did we not make less than that getting to the final of the UEFA Cup?

    I'm a little surprised making the last 16 doesn't pay more the €3.5 but still an additional €30 is a great boost for the club.

    another great night spent on the edge my seat at CP, loved every minute of it though. Being the 4th seeded team in the group we were always going to have to do it the difficult way, up against technically gifted and creative teams we had to stand tall as individuals and as a unit. Cant wait for the draw for next round now.

    Genuinely can't actually believe there are some people saying Samaras dived

    Doesn't get any more stonewall than that.

    First time I saw it I thought it was a penalty but on the soft side, the replay shows a penalty could have been given for either the defender's misuse of his shoulder / arm or for his feet.

    It's still 50/50 for me. Oh ah could have stayed up if he wanted to, granted it was a pen, but it was a soft one. I'd have been pissed of to concede a pen in those circumstances

    Usual crap from people.... "soft penalty". It is clearly a penalty, there was no option but to give it. I always try to look at this things from the other side, and if I was a Spartak supporter and that had not been given, I'd have been counting my lucky stars. Because it was a clear cut penalty.

    As an aside, how are the group stage fixtures decided? Was it the draw that put benfica away to barca for the last game?

    Yeah. Although Uefa rules say Russian teams have to play away on matchday 6 because it's so cold there.

    Great result last night. At the end of the match the guy in charge of the tannoy played "London Calling":D. Some of The Bhoys are starting to believe. Great to get to the last 16 anyhoo, take it one game at a time from here as Lenny would say.

    Bring on Man U I reckon.
