    now i know they love to quote a world record or two but was confused when i read this

    http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-create-new-record-for-least-1398358

    especially when uefa have this down

    http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsle.../index.html#1/2013/2000347/2009533/pitch-view

    if i was in any way paranoid i would say this is them trying to print a negative celtic story just because there are not too many floating around, especially with all the negative rangers stories at the moment

    This possesion percentage stat has seemed to have made the Huns season, have they forgotten about Peterhead , Berwick ,Annan and Stirling already ??? Maybe it's the two clowns Green and Mccoist mentioning newco returning to the champions league has actually got them jealous of us playing with the big boys .

    Genuine mistake, with dead-lines it could happen to any top quality paper.
    or to any gutter press.

    how is that going to work when he has said rangers will never participate in the spl - which is the only route to CL qualification - while he is in charge ? Have any media huns asked him this ?

    I wondered where Leggo got his 10% possession stat from.

    And so we return to the Nou Camp this week where the Official UEFA statistics tell their story of how sorry Celtic were outplayed by a Barcelona team which, while still potent and formidable, is no longer at its peak.Barcelona enjoyed not merely the lion’s share of possession, as they do in most of their matches, the actually had possession of the ball for 90per cent of the match, which even by their standards is unusual.


    Celtic certainly defended doggedly and well, but not as well and as cleverly as Rangers had against Manchester United at Old Trafford. For a start, Manchester United failed to score against Rangers. Barcelona scored twice against Celtic.Barcelona also managed to breach the Celtic defence 14 times to go close, with 13 efforts on target and one hitting the woodwork.


    Those are the facts of the matter and not the hysterical nonsense, not the diet of pro-Celtic pap, or the warped view from the usual suspects which the public is being force fed.The truth is that Celtic, when they went to Barcelona, attempted to do what Rangers did when they went to Old Trafford. They attempted to cut their cloth accordingly and try to frustrate an extraordinary team.


    That they did not manage to achieve their goal – as Rangers most certainly did against Manchester United at Old Trafford – is no shame.But please, will the usual suspects stop trying to force feed the public pap and make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. The facts of the matter, as produced in the official UEFA statistics, tell not merely the whole story, but the real story too.

    Some of the morons on here are as bad as Leggo.
