    We won the 2nd leg 4.1...? How can they remove 2 goals from the actual result.

    Yeah. Incredible game, we should have won the tie really, we had them on the ropes.

    So we deserved our second shot in the Nou Camp. Do Celtic deserve theirs ?

    Er, they didn't.

    Lost first leg 3-0. No problems with that one.

    Won second leg 4-1. Initially Stuttgart went through on away goals 4-4.

    Then discovered they played ineligible players in 2nd leg. Uefa rules state that in such circumstances the opposing team are awared the game 3-0. This meant the tie finished 3-3. Daft I know but that's Uefa for you.

    Looks like someone at Legia Warsaw didn't either. Got to feel for them though, the player served his ban but because of an administrative balls-up his team are thrown out and presumably he'll have to serve his three match ban again !

    There's ways and means to be fair. <ok>

    Its not gonna happen anyway and Celtic have got lucky as fk, so its irrelevant.

    Just wish there was a "common sense" rule, where someone says, for something so trivial and such a small easy mistake to make, they deserve a replay.

    May not Shaks, talking of buying at least one new winger before that game. May actually serve as a wake up call to desmond and the board to splash some cash

    IMO Eire they are an average side who were found out. I'm no mystic meg but I'd be surprised (depending who they get) if they get further. They are in a poor League with no competition , the sooner Rangers get back the better.

    They're playing Maribor of Slovenia. No idea how strong they are. Agree a straight operating Rangers are needed but not the corrupt outfit they're fans have been stuck with for years. A few bob Sky money would also help
