We're missing a big threat up top which tends to be much more important in CL. Dortmund has Lewandowski, Reus, and even Gotze who can be score goals and provide that threat. Real Madrid I have to see more of to make a judgement on. Everything points to them doing well in CL but the way they've been playing lately is suspect.

It's not just that they beat Barca...it's how they beat them. All they needed were 5 shots on goal and 20% ball possession. It's like they knew that they didn't need to do more than that. They could have gone out there and had 30 shots and 70% possession but why expend the extra energy? They can save themselves for the grueling league campaign they have in Scotland. Meanwhile you have the idiots of Barcelona passing the ball around and they don't know what to do against the masterclass tactical setup they are facing. That's what impresses me most about the mighty Glasgow Celtic...they can do the bare minimum and it's all they need.

Beating Barca is no easy feat, one has to give Celtic credit for that.
You're underrating them. They don't just deserve credit, they deserve the CL trophy already. Who the fuck do we think we are; we have no chance against this awe inspiring squadron of gladiators.

I fear Gary Hooper will put at least 12 goals past us...if we're lucky.

Guys guys, I just checked wikipedia and it says that Rangers have more titles than Celtic? How is that possible? Must be some kinda mistake, right? Please someone confirm or deny this, cause if true we might have a 0.5% chance of qualifying.

They do have more titles, but only because of the anti-Catholic bias that Celtic have suffered from for generations.

If it wasn't for that terrible persecution, Celtic would have won the league every single year.

Even in the years when another Catholic team won the league.
