We'll really miss them in Manchester this season.
Yet Celtic are such a good advert for Glasgow football and do not push their own brand of bigotry.
I think this may work out well for them as they wont have the distraction.
why do you seem so delighted they are out ?They also won't have around £12 million, or the foreign mercenaries who wouldn't have cared which Old Firm team they signed for but do care about European football. Also, might be wrong but I believe to some extent Champions League money is divided by country, which means Celtic will get more cash than if both they and Rangers were in.
Result
Are you quite sure that Walter Smith and Kenny Miller, for example, are bigots?
The Kaunas result was remarkable, especially coming on the back of the whopping home defeat Rangers just suffered to Liverpool. Sure, Rangers were missing important players, but then again where IS Kaunas?...
I also watched Spurs coast past Celtic in the Feyenoord Tournament.
I think it could be a very long time before a Scottish team makes another European final. The gap between them and the dozen or so SuperTeams in Europe will only get wider.
I agree. Oh well, at least it's still marching season.Very funny. Serves them right for being such boring bigotted twats.
I am naturally delighted they are out - for purely football reasons - I despise them.
The usual obld guff is wheeled about about the fact that Scottish teams are now further behind Europe blah blah blah.
Get your facts right. Look at the Celtic and Rangers performances over recent years - especially Celtics and you will see that they are pretty good.
Significantly better say than Spurs et al.
We'll wait and see how it goes this year. But you are right to some degree - Celtic have as much chance as winning the Champions League as the other 95% of sides in it outside the super 6 - or whatever you want to call them.
So before we go rubbishing Scottish football let remember the majority of English Premier league sides have been appalling - even abject. Spurs, Bolton, Blackburn - all of them have proved to be dreadful.
