Best Case
Lille
Celtic
Rio Ave

Mon the Legia.

 

Thought you would all be desperate to get Young Boys?

 

I have no idea who we want.

Some very real inverse pumpfest prospects in there.

 

Not many teams there I fancy us beating

 

Thursday's are no good for me, ****ing useless bunch of diddy players!

 

Dress rehearsal gave us Kopenhagen, St Ettiene and Qarabag.

I'd definitely take that.

Real thing is bound to be much worse

 

If you do get St Etienne it will be interesting to see whether or not they give you a bicycle.

They'll probably ride us like bicycles

 

Aye, that is a concern!

 

Damn right it is. Imagine the final's between a Polish team and a German team? They hate each other!

 

The german team will just fence the polish in ...starving them of the ball.

 

GROUP D
Red Bull Salzburg, Celtic, Dinamo Zagreb, FC Astra.

 

Not bad ...

 

Could have been worse. Still predict a couple of abymal showings somewhere along the line

 

We're playing a male cow, a bicycle light and a car?

 

I literally don't care one iota about the Europa League. Ever since they turned it into Champions League Lite by aping the group stage it has been a total joke.

Fair enough if you're a diddy team like Spurs or Everton who can't get a CL berth via their own league but for Celtic it's a distraction rather than a benefit.
