Wish we were in pot 2 but what can you do as we'd only face one massive team.

Worst case scenario - Barca, Valencia/Roma/Lyon.

Best case scenario - Prolly fuckin Inter despite the squad they have, Benfica/PSV.

Also interesting to see that AEK are being popped in pot 2, see how that works out.

Anno, AEK are a pot 4 team, so if they manage to go through will they reshuffle the groups?
Would it not mean both celtic and rangers step up a pot?

We don't have much chance that is true, we do have this years 'group of death' but its 3 good away trips  :laugh: which are now booked  8)

You lot have a decent chance of going through but I think that you'll have to do something that you's have never done in the champions league group stages and that is win away from home otherwise I think that you shall have trouble progressing

Not bad that draw. We should get through that. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a struggle like last season again.

Meh, Not bad draw for us (Celtic). Minimum 7 points at home and im just praying we can do the business away from home against SOMEONE this year, coz Benfica and Shaktar have raped us away from home in the past.

Donati will be out 2 prove a point against Milan....

May as well book these trips while they're available to you.

I won't be going to any of the 3 - same old, same old.

I'm guessin it is because I am truly biased but I think we are one of few 3rd or 4th seeded teams which I'm pretty sure can secure 2nd place in the group.

Every other group seems to be quite straight forward with the top 2 being a bit ahead of the bottom 2.

We will need to improve are away form in europe or we could struggle
