Zappa 0 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Condolences bhoys.... Celtic will be unseeded for Champions League tilt Celtic will face a tough test in their first Champions League qualifier after confirmation they will not be seeded at any stage of the qualifying rounds. Fenerbahce's failure to win the title moved Celtic into the unseeded pot. Celtic, who have yet to appoint a new manager, could face the Turks, Zenit St Petersburg, Ajax or Dinamo Kiev in the third qualifying round. The Scots will discover their opponents on 16 July, with the first leg taking place 11 days later. Steaua Bucharest will also join the seeds if they beat Unirea Urziceni to second place in the Romanian League, otherwise Portuguese side Sporting Braga will be among the five seeded teams in the non-champions part of the draw. Celtic could face another difficult challenge to make the group stages if they progress from their initial tie, with Tottenham, Sevilla and Werder Bremen assured of a place among the play-off seeds. Defeat at the first hurdle would put Celtic into the final qualifying round for the Europa League. Failure at the second hurdle, where the Parkhead club lost to Arsenal last season, would put them straight into the Europa League group stages again. The first leg of the third qualifying round will take place on 27/28 July and the return game the following week. . http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/8688890.stm 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexscottislegend 2,378 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 For heaven's sake, don't be childish. We actually need THEM to progress to help Scotland's - and therefore our - chance of improving seedings. The fact they're unlikely to progress is a disaster for Scotland and, ipso facto, for us. We cannot improve the seedings all on our own. C'mon M'well and Dun U! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS amusing to see them dealt another blow while they're down though... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can forget about Europe over the next couple of seasons mate, well be far too busy trying to keep the club afloat. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Fenerbahce burnt their stadium after not winning the title. Wouldn't like to go there in a hurry. Although Fenerbahce's announcer didn't help saying Buraspor were drawing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never ever want Celtic to do well in any competition, regardless of how it impacts on us I hope they lose both legs of the 1st qualifier 10-0 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they progress they get more money, which will allow them to buy better players, which lessens our chances of winning the league. Nothing childish about my wish for them to get totally stuffed. :devil: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
