But you can never win the league, or any cup. But all the teams you beat where brilliant? I watched the games, most of them were pish. Might have been good in the past, but they have now dropped a level. You try to convince everybody they are as good as they were in the CL. Bottom line. They would have to be pish to get beat by a pish team that never wins fuck all.
We know we got a good draw, and we should have got more points, but we got out of the group.
Also remember, you had been getting results in the EL before you got into the CL. Look what happened to that team who were also great in Europe, but got taken to the fucking cleaners. You compare two totally different things and claim victory. Worst ever team in the group phase. That's where you
You keep harping back to our UCL campaign. We drew Liverpool, who put 7 by a United team that cost 100s of millions a couple of weeks after pumping us. A rampant Napoli that were cruising Serie A at the time and a decent Ajax who had just spent £20+ million signing our best player
That season you keep going back to we overturned a 2-0 first leg defeat against a great USG team. We then went away from home and beat PSV to qualify and still won the most coefficient points for Scotland.
You also have to factor in an injury list that to this day I’ve seen nothing like it. At one point we had James sands , a midfielder, and a poor Leon King , who is even now a million miles from being first choice at Ibrox, as our central defensive partnership
It was a perfect storm and that coupled with a 4-0 Old Firm defeat , IMHO, cost GvB his job that we’ve never recovered from.
Now we’ve got that one season out the way let’s look a record that took Celtic many years to achieve….
The Parkhead outfit have now lost 58.9 per cent of their Champions League games – 43 out of 73 – which, according to the BBC, is the highest ratio of any side with at least 50 games played in the history of the competition. They have also kept just one clean sheet in their 37 Champions League away games, conceding 89 goals.
When was the last time you won a knockout game in Europe?

It’s embarrassing for both our clubs and the country as a whole. We are both a million miles away from being good enough and it’s not changing any time soon.
