Hopefully another 2 Scottish teams through into the Europa playoff this evening. I fancy Aberdeen to have a right good go at it.
Quoted for posterity!

Both the lack of points and income leaves the entire Scottish game diminished.

All it shows is the Scottish game is on or below the level of the diddy countries around the outer reaches of Europe.

Which, as a diddy country on the outer reaches of Europe is about right.

Any idea that Celtic are Champions League level, or that the sheep or junkies are in any way competitive even at pre Europa League level is quite clearly dreamland. (And I only don't mention Rangers because they haven't tripped up yet).

I do believe that Scottish clubs should be wining games against small European opposition, but this week's results 100% prove that the top SPL winners have zero grounds for arguing for automatic entry to the group stages of European competitions

Celtic still make the group stages on a reasonable frequency. It's not as if they are getting thumped every year.

Even still the game against Cluj was thrown away. An inexcusable handball and individual errors are what cost.

Celtic shouldn't be losing to Cluj, but even Cluj have made the Champions league groups stages. They won at Old Trafford and finished with 10 points before.

They aren't as bad as some people are making out.

Might have known you'd have a 'shoulda, woulda, coulda' excuse lined up. hehe

Aye, they made fewer individual errors than your lot, so they won. That's how it works.

I didn't think it would require more explaining....

It happens in football. Often the better side on the day doesn't take their chances(excuse used here how many times) and the breaks fall to the other team.

It happens. To say Celtic were not even competitive is totally wrong.

They are no mugs. People seem to think they've never been in Europe before.

Are you pissed already?

Where does my post suggest anything about cheating?

The season has barely started and you've gone all Rangersy already. Settle.

as a referee error and individual errors. Now I realise you must mean an individual error, and other individual errors.

What is clear, is that Celtic made a lot of errors, why is why they lost. And deserved to lose.

Celtic - tick
Sheep - tick
Junkies? Who are the junkies? I assumed you meant Rangers until I read "I only don't mention Rangers because they haven't tripped up yet".

Junkies?

I think in common Rangers parlance, residents of Leith and/or fans of Hibs are known as junkies.

Despite Glasgow having twice the number of drug deaths per 1000 residents as Edinburgh....



Regarding last nights games AIK looked very poor and think Rangers will edge it at Ibrox next week. Can see both teams progressing into the group stages.
