It's beggars belief that some folk don't care about European football or trying to compete in Europe.
Do yous not realise European football plays a big part in us signing players like dembele, Nitcham, Eddy? These players don't come to Scotland just to win medals.
Do you think we would be able to ask for 15m+ for our players if we have no aspirations to qualify and compete to best of our ability in European football.
Don't forget the world knows of Glasgow Celtic because of the lions exploits in European football not just winning in Scotland ðŸ‘ðŸ»
Rant over, on to the St Johnstone game.

ryancelt mate i agree, but we are so close to putting that lot in there box with 10iar. when we accomplish that then push on and be a real dominant force in europe.

We will never get a better chance to get 10 in a row so as far as I'm concerned europe can take a back seat. Just my personal opinion and I know others won't agree with that but Europe will be available to us for years to come.

We wouldn’t have the quality of players we have, that have gave us the chance to do 10 in a row if it wasn’t for us qualifying for Europe season after season.

The fact is we have had consecutive CL football for almost a decade and in that time have had some brilliant talent.
However we have often been caught cold in qualifiers or else take a step forward and two back, due to lack of investment in the squad at the right time, so we can build a real quality squad; especially when we sell a 'star man' every year and then downgrade.
Anyway, when own Board don't even see us as a CL club, what chance do we have of making serious progress and improving our reputation?
A good run in the Europa, seems to be our limit these days?

a real dominant force in europe . our European record is utter pish we've been living off a result for 53 years , 10 in a row or 4 trebles won't change a thing.

deep river boy. we have a terrific european pedigree and for you to say otherwise is totally dis respective to our great club. for a wee diddy club from scotland we do ok.

Our record over the last 25 years in Europe has been fairly good considering the league we play in and the budget we have.
If we didn't have European football we wouldn't attract half the player's we do, especially the young foreign players.
29 Feb 2020 20:55:49
. wee diddy club., isn't that a tad more disrespective than me pointing out our pish euro record,
29 Feb 2020 21:13:44
every body refers to us as wee diddy clubs and you confirm this when you say we only have 1 european date 1967.we are a huge part of history in the european footaball history.

Nobody refers to Celtic as a wee Diddy club absolute garbage. Our history proves this.
Does that mean man utd Chelsea and a few other are Diddy teams as they have Lost there way. Europe will take time with our small budget but I also enjoy those night to take scalps.
We punch so far above our weight it's frightening I also know it can crumble as history shows us this.
English football wins everything first off sponsor money, second big wages, third which is most important is many English teams have some of the best European players playing for them the main league is over loaded with foreign talent and not that great local talent. What happened to that rule teams must play at least 6/ 8 boys from your own country. Last year's final in Europe which I did not watch but was told to go check the team sheet, there was only one English player on the field for a team that's English that's the difference. I want Celtic to stay Scottish which I think they are Scottish majority to make sure we keep getting local talent with a little mixture of players from around the world.
