Rangers Banter Archive February 28 2020

 

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


28 Feb 2020 21:02:56
Didn’t realise the Europa League was so lucrative. Rangers to earn over £12M for the game against Leverkusen! Made up of TV rights and gate receipts.



28 Feb 2020 21:50:03
Nonsense, unless its 500 pound a ticket.



28 Feb 2020 22:02:42
Not if the TV money is worth over £11M.



28 Feb 2020 22:22:49
Zikos you r misunderstanding it mate.



28 Feb 2020 22:32:44
Tv money of 11.4 million shared between 16 clubs. its divided by country as I explained further down. Rangers share just over one million.



28 Feb 2020 22:54:11
tv rights in germany are very lucrative.



29 Feb 2020 00:10:13
Only regurgitating what I read in sky sport news - the 20 million I think is the total so far but i'm no expert. If it is that sort of figure unless Celtic spend 100 million that's enough to get is with them.



29 Feb 2020 05:01:22
13.4 million am sure the pot is. Divided by 16 teams left in the comp. so far including 8 home game gate receipts we have prob made close to 20 mill.



29 Feb 2020 08:00:13
Yep misread how the money would be split. Sorry if I got anyone’s hopes up 😔.



29 Feb 2020 09:45:31
Apology accepted zikos. Anyways it's money in the back pocket and we need it.



29 Feb 2020 10:48:04
Zikos it’s still good money in pot we need.
If you want to work it out in future europa league rules are very good. Lists all rules, bookings, prize money per round etc.
For example if we beat Bayer we get another 1.5 million. Then round of eight tv money figure is divided between countries in last eight, can only be one Scottish club, so big tv money again.



28 Feb 2020 20:57:06
Our prize money from the Europa league is going to be 20 million minimum, if we sell Fred for say 20 and the board release some funds say 10 million we may have 50 million to spend. That sort of cash levels up them and us. Last night has big repercussions as we take all the prize money for the next round and allows us to compete financially in 20/ 21 for the first time. 20/ 21 season will all come down to the summer recruitment. Another chance to let go some fringe players and bring in some serous quality. Hopefully they are looking right now at the plan. I would expect at least 6 players of mouth watering ability. When we have players like Jack, Shag, Tav and Davis on the subs bench that's the point Rangers are back.



28 Feb 2020 22:26:00
Tjbb u r wrong mate. Most money from europa league already spent by us. Prize money is standard so we got one million for beating braga.
We do get all the Scottish share tv money for round of 16 another one million.



28 Feb 2020 22:26:29
TJBB Still nowhere near the finances of Celtic but great being in Europe and it's a good distraction away from the poor form lately domestically

Being in the Europa is the most effective way of earning cash as Sky pays "pittance" for us in Scotland
Even better would be Champions League money We can always dream of winning Europa for free entry of Champions League, which would be lucrative

Anyway let's enjoy it and linger may it continue 😁.



29 Feb 2020 05:03:15
50 million to spend? We probably need to start making the accounts lookna bit better 1st than heavy losses every year. Possibly another 10 mill spend in summer. No more.



29 Feb 2020 08:02:58
Paul, I said much the same in another post just recently, that any money coming into the Club should in part be used to improve our bottom line, and eradicating or vastly reducing our losses year on year. We have to get back to be in a sustainable position without the need for soft loans or borrowing from the Close Brothers of this World.



29 Feb 2020 09:36:19
We will also make money from new strips sales and new kit manufacturer contract by who ever ends up making our strips.



29 Feb 2020 10:52:57
Irvger is absolutely correct, any money we accrue has to be used wisely to reduce bottom line.
It’s not an opportunity to go mad and buy.
We need to be careful how we spend.
Imagine if we had went out in qualifying rounds how much less we would have.
Each game ie braga, Bayer and hopefully more are worth at least five million, not withstanding expenditures for stewards, police staff etc. In general this is calculated at approximately 20% of income from a match.



29 Feb 2020 11:07:06
Regarding our new kit for next season, its almost march and we've not got a kit manufacturer to make our kits for next season yet. It takes time, with negotiations between rangers and a few sportswear firms,
still to take place. On that assumption, it will be very late in year before us supporters can purchase our new kit for next season! Its going to be rushed whoever wins the right, to become our new kit makers!



28 Feb 2020 20:23:56
Probably get pelters for this but here goes. I'll be watching what team spirit is like tommorrow with Alfie back in the team. I just have a feeling that some guys are pissed off with the preferential treatment Alfie seems to get. About 4 pay rises in last 2 year (deserved in my opinion) and also extra time off before going to Dubai.



28 Feb 2020 21:01:24
God here we go the game hasn’t been played yet if I was in that team I’d be over the moon he was in it 28 goals this season he is the reason we’re still in Europe.



28 Feb 2020 21:16:26
If that was the case every team in the world would have the same problems. Really no offence but I would say a wee bit naive. All teams have different pay structures and some players get more time off for personnel reasons than others. There are so many moving parts to a club like Rangers the lack of from on occasion is hard to pin down. Just because i'm not leaning over all the time doesn't mean the earth is flat.



28 Feb 2020 21:50:04
TJBB, good post, as regards the leaning over, probably pissed or something, lol.



28 Feb 2020 23:15:18
Guys I'm not saying anything bad about alfie here as in my eyes he is a star. I did notice when we scored against hibs that not all players ran over to celebrate and I found that very strange. Yes I know it was not Alfie who scored. Just be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.



29 Feb 2020 08:16:57
The guy is from Colombia he can’t just go home or catch a short flight like most guys to visit family etc, extra days is standard practice for guys like from these places, you see it all the time with a lot of players. Best thing that can happen is for Alfie to get a double tomorrow and get his confidence back and kick on.



28 Feb 2020 17:52:46
Just been shopping to Asda and picked up some rolls and sausage for the morning but seen an offer on the way out and got some pastries instead, cany beat a wee last minute Danish, ever so sweet, 2 for the price of 1 as well.



28 Feb 2020 18:35:40
was wondering where you were going with that TJBB!



28 Feb 2020 21:52:06
Probably a couple of 'Pain au Lennons' TJBB,



28 Feb 2020 22:11:42
A wee last minute danish beats an empty fosters every time imo.



28 Feb 2020 16:09:39
The three class sides left in the Europa League who have won European trophies are Inter, Man Utd and Seville. We can go head-to-head with any of the others. To win it, these are the teams ultimately we must beat. My £5 @ 80/ 1 back in August for Gers to win it is now down to 40/ 1. You never know!



28 Feb 2020 16:20:50
Good bet DOIGER, don't you mean 4 teams who have won a European Trophy, us included.



28 Feb 2020 17:15:33
Great point Irvger, sorry!



28 Feb 2020 17:28:54
Have Roma not won a Euro trophy? I would think maybe a couple more in there lads lol.



28 Feb 2020 17:37:49
Actually Roma haven't but our opponents leverkusen have. So have Frankfurt and I can also mind Shaktar winning something a few years ago!



28 Feb 2020 17:37:52
Doiger, i see one of the copenhagen players has been charge arged with police assault, in celtic fc stadium, serious, i wonder if that will get that lot back in thru the back door. lol.



28 Feb 2020 17:47:34
Doiger I hope u win your bet.



28 Feb 2020 22:04:00
You are of course right guys, Leverkusen and Shakhtar have both won the UEFA Cup once but I guess I was thinking about the multiple European winners like Inter, Man Utd in particular. Goodnight boys!



28 Feb 2020 15:38:36
Copenhagen goalscorer Michael Santos charged with assaulting a police officer during his goal celebration. A celtic fan has just said to me that if the "assault" was that bad he should have been sent off😂

Whats the bets Lawell is scraping around looking for a loophole to get either a replay or have Cpenhagen chucked out the competition😂.



28 Feb 2020 16:18:34
Did u see it, embarrassing to be charged with thst. If anything the policeman assaults the Copenhagen player by grabbing him n swinging him round, also vid of another cop assaulting s cameraman grabbing him by arm and trying to take his csmera. Raging celtic fans they coppers 🤣🤣🤣.



28 Feb 2020 16:23:02
MOCbear, I said that to my Wife earlier on today, surely not again, after the Polish escapade a few years back.



28 Feb 2020 16:28:55
It wasn't even his goal, he went to celebrate with the guy that got their 2nd goal.



28 Feb 2020 16:29:48
At least the police got close to him. That's more than the Celtic defence did.



28 Feb 2020 17:01:18
brilliant robbie!



28 Feb 2020 17:40:58
If the copper felt assaulted why wasn't he arrested straight away. You wouldn't assault a plod in the street and walk away from it. It's farcical. Scottish football is went bananas. When the Tims get beat the toys get launched right out the pram. They can't handle it. It's great to watch!



28 Feb 2020 19:33:35
Nobody is allowed to celebrate at park head.



28 Feb 2020 19:39:01
It wasn’t that when Lustig grabbed a coppers hat of his head and was running about with it on after they scored against us. Ach I suppose the police put that down tae banter.



28 Feb 2020 20:11:13
I've saw it countless times at park head, any team scoring if they go to celebrate, players are routinely manhandled by stewards and police. doesn't seem to happen st any other stadium.



29 Feb 2020 08:21:09
The copper was in the wrong for going towards a player there was no need, the player was then in the wrong for barging him over. Player should have been told off after the game and the copper should have got gold off by superiors after the game, end of story after that. charging the player for something the copper caused is nonsense.



28 Feb 2020 14:34:44
So do you reckon Hearts will try and play the high press on Sunday and more to the point have we learnt to counter it?
Edmondson hopefully to keep place is Kamberi cup-tied?



28 Feb 2020 15:13:26
Carbolic,

Hearts will do the same as the rest o the teams below us do, park the bus an lump the ball up the park in the knowledge we usually have no defenders in our own half.

I think Stevie has sussed that out now and if we keep 2 defenders in our half and also do the long ball stuff that they do, we will hump them.



28 Feb 2020 15:16:29
I think Kamberi is cup tied but even if he is not I’m sure Morelos will play and rightly so he brings so much to the team.



28 Feb 2020 15:28:06
Carbolic, If you wait till Sunday you will miss the game as far as I know its tommorrow at 5.30 mate.



28 Feb 2020 16:09:10
Yes Kamberi cup tied and not available. Expect Morelos to play and score a brace, he is sulking and dangerous.



28 Feb 2020 16:14:13
Good point Bluebilly predictive text, my bad.



28 Feb 2020 13:50:51
I sincerely hope no one was expecting an easy tie at this stage--the germans will be very tough and hopefully we learned from the first half against braga --for me its imperative to not concede first leg --that is the way forward in this tie a tight defence and morelos firing on all cylinders with no cards will do me--the rest will take care of itself lets pump hearts and get this season back on track as best we can--theres 6 points in the old firm games to be taken after watching them last night--.



28 Feb 2020 13:27:31
Hi

Another tough draw for Rangers in Europa league, but it could have been harder, you never know.

Celtic struggle in the Europa league, so bye-bye Celtic, Celtic bye-bye.

Bring on Hearts.

Lennon says Celtic played well, but
there fans say different.



In Gerrard we trust.



28 Feb 2020 15:00:34
Hi grahamegg,

There was a mhanks supporter on the celts page actually suggesting they were quite happy to get beat by the Danes as it would mean they will have no distractions for the domestics and their 10 iar.

Was that why they agreed to let lenny spend millions on players to compete in the champs league and the consolation europa league.

They thought they did not need to spend in the domestic leagues as they believed we were so far behind we couldnae catch them.

Unfortunately we may not win the SPFL this season but never say never .



28 Feb 2020 16:20:20
The team I wanted to avoid. leverkusen a cracking side, I'd have took man utd before them easily 👍.



28 Feb 2020 16:58:00
I agree herewego, I have a wee soft spot for Dortmund and watch a lot of the bundesliga and Leverkusen are a good side. They definitely have the best attacking options of anyone we’ve played in Europe so far this season. I’d have rather had Man Utd as well. But you never know, our style seems to suite European football so hopefully we can squeeze through. Also going to Germany for a game is always amazing, stadiums are class.



28 Feb 2020 17:49:54
Herewego I was at Porto game last night they are better than anything we have played this season, but we will give it a go.



28 Feb 2020 18:29:16
Leverkusen 8/ 1 to win competition, we are 50/ 1, tells you everything really.



28 Feb 2020 22:37:28
I see they have just lost Holland and Harvetz to injury, 2 best players not available to play the famous.



28 Feb 2020 13:23:28
I know I'm thinks a bit far ahead but can you imagine the total implosion of them if we were to win the europa league and get straight into the champions league group stages and they fail to get through any qualifiers they need to negate I would piss myself laughing. 🤣.



28 Feb 2020 13:45:49
Aye calm down mate!



28 Feb 2020 13:46:09
No I can’t imagine that.



28 Feb 2020 14:21:25
Here we go again talk of winning the Europa league just like going for 55 then when it doesn’t happen it’s sack SG get rid of half the team, well there is no chance of us winning this cup we went into the first qualifying round and are in the last 16 for me were past our cup final that was qualifying for knock out stages now we’re in the last 16 that’s a bonus, of course I’d love to profess but if we don’t I’ll see it as a huge success to the club somewhere near £20million pounds banked we are still building a team and that is a huge some so sit back take a deep breath and enjoy it.



28 Feb 2020 15:03:44
Aye Ready - take a wee lie down in a quiet room son
Enjoy the journey but calm down!



28 Feb 2020 15:38:52
Pathetic defeatism from so-called Rangers fans.

We've beaten Legia, Feyenoord, Braga, YB and Porto - ANY of whom could have been a last 16 or later opponent, we have a manager with the European midas touch who has two European trophies to his name and yet you lot have the inferiority to suggest we can't win this?

Did you say that in 2007's UCL group of death pre-Manchester as well?



28 Feb 2020 16:20:28
I never said we couldn’t win this tie but it will be far tougher than any game so far I said we wouldn’t win the trophy I stand by that statement where we have reached so far is fantastic and I’ll remind you in 2007 we didn’t win it.



28 Feb 2020 16:22:05
We didn't win that either hsha so it's a moot point. Folk are just being realistic, we won't win it mate being honest 👍.



28 Feb 2020 17:42:17
Herewego: that was my point as if and when we get knocked out it’s then these people start shouting for SGs head and want half the team booted out, I’ll just sit back and enjoy another wonderful night under the lights at Ibrox we are in a position very few people gave us a hope of reaching at the first qualifying round so whatever happens I’m proud of my team.



28 Feb 2020 17:51:08
Guys nothing wrong with dreaming, my son just booked two fights to Gdańsk today £60 return.



28 Feb 2020 20:17:12
Twacos I totally agree with you. The money is so important and needs to be invested wisely. Some people do not realise we had 4 qualifiers and 3 group games sold out last season yet we were still 10 million black hole to end this season. Please be aware this is not the murray days anymore. Also think sunday is a massive game that we need to put a marker down from minute 1.



28 Feb 2020 22:30:25
Correct fauldhoose. Tjbb thinks we have not touched any this seasons twenty million and added to other money gives us fifty million to spend in summer.
Unfortunately not.
Game is Saturday 1730.



28 Feb 2020 12:35:10
I think our game with Leverkusen will be an exciting open attacking game from both sides. I've watched them a couple of times on BT Sport, and although a good side, they can be exposed in defence. Anyway we're still in it and earning more valuable income.



28 Feb 2020 13:47:47
Leverkusen are class side and will be a very tough tie.



28 Feb 2020 15:05:01
They can be exposed by Bayern or Dortmund - maybe just me, but I don't think we are up there, yet :-)



28 Feb 2020 16:22:31
There a great side.



28 Feb 2020 12:19:39
We have been drawn with Leverkusen. Not too bad a draw, easy travel.



28 Feb 2020 12:40:11
Could have been worse, could have been better. Can we win this tie, too right we can!
🔴⚪️🔵 let's have some positivity in here for change lol.



28 Feb 2020 12:16:31
Great draw for us with Bayer Leverkusen.
Definetly achievable.
C'mon the RANGERS
🔴⚪🔵.



28 Feb 2020 12:38:41
I watched them win very easy in Porto. This is a tough draw, but that’s when we are at our best.
Flights booked already.



28 Feb 2020 12:43:52
John what the airport at their end?



28 Feb 2020 12:43:57
John25. , ye its a hard draw, do you think young leon king. Will be staying at rangers pal.



28 Feb 2020 12:40:46
Currently 5th, only 6 points behind Bayern.
I would say quite a difficult tie?



28 Feb 2020 13:19:21
Till a die. Best bet is cologne. We r going from stanstead to cologne. Out Tuesday back Friday 100 each. Eindhoven about three hour drive is reasonable option.



28 Feb 2020 13:22:32
Till a also Dortmund and Düsseldorf very close.



28 Feb 2020 13:23:49
Paulellen. The noises re king sound good re a four year deal,
My son says Sg has became involved and has spoke directly to the lad.



28 Feb 2020 13:54:03
Thanks john
Ill check it out mate.



28 Feb 2020 12:14:23
Bayer leverkuson
Reasonable draw.



28 Feb 2020 12:11:32
Really hope we get celtic in the next round. 😁😁😁😁
I bet all the celtic fans will be tuned into the draw to see who they get.
All about the famous Glasgow Rangers
🔴⚪🔵.



28 Feb 2020 12:37:42
Hilarious Bluebell, nice one.



28 Feb 2020 12:51:25
Blue andy, they got beatenhomeward fc, mate, another easy draw for them, i smell a rat mate.



28 Feb 2020 12:55:22
as said on the celtic page here by a dhim they don't have any distractions now so they can concentrate on the league and scottish cup! so european football was a distraction? eh? you just can't make it up.



28 Feb 2020 13:50:06
It's a conspiracy. they never put celtic on one of those wee bits of paper inside one of those balls.
Celtic will be sending email of complaint 😆😆😆😆😆.



28 Feb 2020 12:04:09
Hope we get that Turkish team or the worst possible so we can progress and get man u or an Italian team in the final.



28 Feb 2020 11:06:09
I was just reading an article on SSN about how Scotland could end up with 2 teams in the Champions League the season after next. I might not be following correctly but with Celtic going out last night I think it means that we need to get to the Quarters now for this to happen. Is anyone an expert on coefficients that could shed some light on this for me.



28 Feb 2020 11:31:50
Think we still have the spots I’m sure it meant in that went out there were other results in about 4 games that would stop it one of which was arsenal getting beat which they did but can’t remember the others fingers crossed 🤞.



28 Feb 2020 11:38:33
I think it depends on how far copenhagen and olympiakos go. I believe they both would need to reach the semi's to beat our co-eff.



28 Feb 2020 12:15:15
Bayer Leverkusen it is then. Bring it on 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️👍😎.



28 Feb 2020 14:10:17
The spots are confirmed. unless olympiacos reach semis and basel reach final.



28 Feb 2020 14:34:25
Correct paul86. It all changes for them if we gain more points by winning a.



28 Feb 2020 11:05:25
Morelos to score a brace tomorrow night in a 3 nil win at Hearts.



28 Feb 2020 10:57:41
So I'm just going to tell you about a rumour I heard from my mate who was the pilot on the flight home from Braga. It was all kicking off.
Three of the players were trying it on with the same stewardess and got nowhere because she went into the toilet with Shagger. They were raging with the goalie.
The fridge beat Goldson at arm wrestling and he couldn't take it and vowed to Stevie G that he would never play with him again.
Flo Kamberi hit his head on the toilet door frame because Barisic gave him a nudge and tried to skip the queue.
Kent had his headphones on the whole time and clearly wasn't engaging with his team mates.
Gerrard has clearly lost the dressing room amid plans by Dave King to bring back Pedro Caixinha as director of transfers who was introduced to the team after the final whistle.
Their are tensions with Defoe behind the scenes as he has been trying to convert the whole squad to vegan and is trying to change the menu at Auchenhowie.
It's really not good bears and I think we must be concerned.



28 Feb 2020 11:43:12
Then you woke up.



28 Feb 2020 13:02:16
, mendessi, then the dogs started barking, and the carsvans rolled on,



28 Feb 2020 19:45:06
Enough, please, enough. The joke (if you could call it that) is dead.



28 Feb 2020 09:43:31
People, we know we don't need to boast 😂, ever.
🔴⚪🔵.



28 Feb 2020 10:02:44
Always good to have a laugh at them though.



28 Feb 2020 09:15:30
Would love a go at man utd
Im sure our manager would too.



28 Feb 2020 10:46:28
Inter Milan for me. I've been a big Inter fan since I was a kid so would love to go to Milan for that one.



28 Feb 2020 10:43:10
Bring any of them on. Only 2 games each time and anything could happen. loom at last night. celtic thought they were basically going to gdansk to collect the cup yet copenhagen had something to say about that.

They think they've got 9 in the bag. only the famous can stop that.2 old firms and a game in hand. drops that huge lead down to 3 points. we got to have faith we can close that gap. and i still don't believe celtic will win every game (excluding us) from now til may.

Someones going to get them. a defeat and a draw we need other teams to take from celtic. Because we won't catch them on goal difference. i gave up hope but have changed my mind. no surrender all the way.



28 Feb 2020 11:13:54
MOC - might be an issue with that one with Italian teams maybe not able to travel - could there be a bye into the quarters LOL!



28 Feb 2020 08:09:08
Now let's see if the unwashed have an adverse reaction to their defeat last night when they play St. Johnstone on Sunday. As we found out, the Saints are on a good run of form. Meantime, who should play for us against Hearts tomorrow? Surely our lads must be on a high after beating Braga and now go on to a great run until the end of the season?



28 Feb 2020 09:29:58
I'll tell you one thing. Our centre half pairing against hearts on saturday evening, has to be connor goldson and george edmundson. They look very good together and edmundson has a good turn of pace!
Said repeatedly on here that i like big katic, but he's erratic at times and goldson has to constantly run out of position to cover his gap!
I think edmundson will become an outstanding centre half for us!



28 Feb 2020 09:37:45
Id keep same team apart from alfie for kamberi from now on try get consistency and understand our best team.



28 Feb 2020 09:39:01
Not sure it was saints run of form which cost us points last week doiger. They won't slip up they will likely come out and batter them for 5. My prefered line up for sat.

Mcgregor
Tav goldson edmundson borna

Hagi arfield jack kent

Morelos kamberi

But very aware no chance us playing 2 up top.



28 Feb 2020 09:56:57
Isn’t Kamberi cup tied?



28 Feb 2020 10:12:21
Yes Kamberi is Cup Tied.



28 Feb 2020 10:13:50
Yes kamberi cup tied.



28 Feb 2020 10:48:43
Ahwel normal formation morelos up front 😂.



28 Feb 2020 17:53:10
SG says Defoe maybe in squad.



28 Feb 2020 08:06:51
What we have achieved financially from Europe this season has exceeded at least my expectations, circa £20 Million. We need to be fearless now, as we have nothing at all to lose by having a real go no matter which team we draw today. It is good that we are now the team in the limelight which is great considering where we were two years ago with the Bushman.



28 Feb 2020 09:39:56
5 mill more than last season. let's hope for decent tie 2day and get into last 8.

I do think a few will move on in the summer for decent coin. And with out being daft invest it wisely back in thr team. But also try make accounts look better. If we make it into the last 8. inc gate receipts we will have made around 25mill from europe this season. I think morelos is a banker to be away. And really would hate this but think barisic will also move on as a lot of clubs will be chasing his signature. Sure there is plenty suitable replacements out there. Just need to find them.

Rangers are in line to get£11.4m TV revenue after celtic got knocked out last night.



28 Feb 2020 08:19:43
Think it's a share of that sum, instead of half a share. So basically that sum gets divided between the nations left which then gets divided between the clubs representing said nations. So for example, if scotlands share was £1m we would have got £500k but will ow get the full £1m.



28 Feb 2020 08:30:39
Don't think we get the whole £11.4 Mr grumpy-great if we did! We get a share but we won't have to split it with the other mob as they're out! Ha ha! 😂.



28 Feb 2020 08:35:52
Yes 11.4 million shared between the last 16 remaining teams in the competition.



28 Feb 2020 08:49:59
Is it not about 16 million divided equally between the remaining 16 teams.



28 Feb 2020 09:22:51
The tv money is divided equally by nations in last 16 not teams.
Ie England three teams one share
Italy two teams one share
Germany two teams one share
Spain two teams one share
Turkey one team one share
Scotland one team one share.
So you can see rangers and Turkish team get one share which is equal to sum divided between three English teams.
So Celtic going out doubles our money another bonus.



28 Feb 2020 11:53:32
Didn't see the bit about 'pool of TV money' 😁.



28 Feb 2020 15:46:08
Eleven countries through to last sixteen so approximately one million per country tv money for this round. So gers get slightly over one million.



28 Feb 2020 07:35:35
morning all
just reading and hearing in the tabloids and various media outlets an apology to their readers and listeners regarding all their pundits and writers getting their predictions totally wrong for the europa league. !



28 Feb 2020 07:26:54
Looking forward to the draw today all hard games no matter who we draw but Copenhagen would be nice.



28 Feb 2020 06:47:56
Would really like our chances to make quarters against any of these think this would be easiest route to get to quarters,

Frankfurt / salzborg
Getafe
Istanbul
Lask
Copenhagen
Basel - possibly

Don't fancy wolves or Man U, Roma or inter
Or Shaktar at this stage

Any above teams think we will make quarters get in the extra money it would bring

And then see who we get in quarters

What's everyone's thoughts?



28 Feb 2020 08:28:08
Salzburg or Frankfurt would beat us. Copenhagen or Basel for me.



28 Feb 2020 08:38:15
Wipe frankfurt/ salzburg off top list very tough games and probably Getafe also other 4 yes no probs.



28 Feb 2020 09:02:53
Copenhagen or Basel for me

Frankfurt still a good side, Getafe riding high in La Liga, Turks good side but aging so possibly. Lask would be the one i'd want to avoid

on paper its an easy draw but they are a very very good side. Went to germany in the groups and pumped Monchengladbach 4 zip.



28 Feb 2020 09:32:28
NRD, a lot said braga would definitely beat us 🤔. I honestly don't mind a bit who we get in this afternoon's draw! Just over the moon to be in the last 16.😀😀.



28 Feb 2020 00:07:31
interesting week for Portugese football.

Braga out
Porto out
SPORTING Lisbon out
Benfica out.



28 Feb 2020 07:27:23
Celtic -- OUT!



28 Feb 2020 00:00:26
Looking at the teams in the last 16 you could consider 8 teams in there big clubs who do you want? And lol this is not for Celtic fans as your not in Europe anymore 🤣.



27 Feb 2020 23:45:50
Hibs new owner Rob Gordon wants the ban on selling alcohol at football grounds to be reversed.

He has either fallen down stairs and banged his head. or he is just a plain and simple lunatic.

I sincerely hope the SPFL tell him to feck away off. I've never heard such keech from a man in authority in all my life.



28 Feb 2020 07:24:34
People often say rugby fans are better than football fans. I worked many events at murrayfield including celtics champions league qualifiers and hearts 3 games while their new stand was being built. All I have to say is the rugby fans are not the saints they like to be painted as and alcohol is the key factor for that. Even after telling a tram full of Celtic fans I was a blue nose they just had good hearted banter.



28 Feb 2020 08:40:23
Not sure how much a difference this would make. I think it can happen. Its not like the old days where folk be bringing carry outs and bottles of vodka etc. a lot of folk are in pub from 12 ish until 14.45 on a sat anyway. Another couple pints in ground won't make much a difference in my eyes.



27 Feb 2020 22:35:59
Not going to be celtic then lol
Hope we get Copenhagen.



27 Feb 2020 21:57:16
Eff the coefficient!



28 Feb 2020 06:15:38
Hope we now are drawn against copenhagen this afternoon. 😂😂🙏.



28 Feb 2020 07:08:17
agree coop Copenhagen for me or one of zee germans pref Frankfurt who sit 11th in Bundesliga

would also take Last or Basel but definitely don’t want Sevilla they’ve won it about 25 times!

magnificent effort to get there by SG and the team one more round for prestige and money for club wld be superb.



28 Feb 2020 07:26:58
Celtic fan on Twitter in hysterics thinking it means no 2nd champions league place because of the defeat. But the 2nd spot was already guaranteed when we achieved 13th spot and couldn't be pushed back out the top 15 due to the teams left to play in Europe.



27 Feb 2020 21:56:57
Just us that's keeping the passports out the cupboard then lads? Happy days!



27 Feb 2020 21:50:31
copenhagens a nice place to visit for a football game lol.



27 Feb 2020 21:34:13
If the Mhanks go out would you not love to get Copenhagen in the next round? Good away day, definitely beatable plus would be funny to beat the team that put them out.



28 Feb 2020 09:59:40
Totally agree Swagman. We’ve already beaten a better Danish side this season 👍.



27 Feb 2020 21:19:53
We should be trying to sign this guy Nelsson who is playing for Copenhagen. Only 21 and looks a fantastic player.
