I'm trying to picture what Cronios would be able to troll them about. Something about Juve's lack of foreign talent makes this a walk in the park for Celtic? But they'd like that? Mabye it would be best to have the usual Cronios discussion about Marotta and Matri the dribbler on the talkceltic forum. It would be hilarious to see how they'd react, not knowing what the fuck was going on
Would be quite a close game, but I'd expect Celtic to beat Cagliari.
I'm not sure about that.
They aren't going to have the same reverence for Juve that they have for Barca.
There is also the possibility that having already surpassed expectations that they may be a little more adventurous.
This Celtic team also isn't hugely physical - not compared to the monster teams of the Martin O'Neill era, anyway.
When have they been dangerous on the counter-attack?
They are the only way Celtic are likely to score against Juve.
This tie should just be a question of concentration for Juve.
So long as they do nothing stupid, they should progress relatively comfortably.

Don't be blinded by Celtic beating Barca.
Look at the goals Barca gave them: two from set-pieces and one from a long hoof up the park that Xavi and Mascherano misjudged.
Juve are miles ahead of Barca when it comes to defending.
It's possible Juve will conceded a goal over the two games from a set-piece, because Mulgrew does deliver a good ball and Celtic do have players who attack the ball well in the box.
However, Celtic don't have anything from open play that should cause Juve any problems.
Celtic will present a reasonably solid obstacle, but nothing overly taxing for Juve.

I'd offer to go, but I'd just saw something enormously offensive and get banned immediately.
Online goading is also shit.
It's no fun without the danger of getting your head kicked in.
Try going into a Celtic bar next door to Parkhead before a game and winding them up there.
It's much more entertaining.

I'll have a look around a see if I can get a ticket for the Juve end.
There's no way I'd be willing to go and mingle with the minks in the home end.
I haven't had the proper inoculations.

I can imagine Badass getting beaten in Glasgow for showing off as a Juve fan.
Then again, I can imagine him getting beaten in Turin too, on the return match. Something like:
Badass: [hmmm, there are some Juve fans there, I'll see if they can sell me tickets] Hi, me no speak Italian, but do you sell tickets?
Juve fans: Eh?
Badass: Do you Celtic(ets)?
Juve fans: You Celtic?
Badass: Celtic(ets), yes, yes, yes, do you Celtic(ets)?
This might happen.
