I'm convinced Celtic are easily good enough to make the Top 24 in the CL group stage.
Celtic are better than the Milan Derby standard.

I’m basically saying I fancy Celtic to beat Dortmund and I would hate if we gave then too much respect.

Milan derby standard buzz? some are getting more confident after our game against a very poor standard of cl team last week, top 24 a real possibility though, Dortmund did take a hammering today.

Anything less than 12points from the fixtures we have would be a big failure. 15points is very doable. Bratislava were very poor and will likely take a hammering every game they play. There may be a few getting carried away but we have a very easy run of fixtures compared to others. That part is obvious. All it takes is for us to get 1 or 2 injuries to key players and we could see a drastic turn in fortures though.

I'd beware dortmund and write them off at our peril even tho stuttgart pumped them 5.1 but our away form is poor.

The Bratislava squad for this season where put together on a budget of 5 million euros, free transfers and loans, does that sound familiar enough from not to many years ago. They are the worst side we will meet. We need to hope, keep the faith and make sure are expectations are in line with the reality of who we shall be facing. Firmly believe we shal make the 24 and16 is possible with a bit of luck.

We have already exceeded my expectations in Europe as I always start thinking zero points, so anything is a bonus and I am not disappointed.

I think we have to be confident but realistic.
We cannot go into games fearing teams, we have enough quality and pace from middle to front to worry most teams but it uis defensively we need to be tighter, more secure and more confident on the ball, as bwtter teams will close us down a lot quicker.
I is in defense that a lot of CL games are won.
Real won last year as they defended well, did the dirty stuff really well, along with taking what chances they created. They were not the most exciting team in the competiton, but exciting doesn't always win.
Dortmund and Atlanta are sitting around about 8th in their respective leagues at this time, so we should not fear them but respect them.

I watched Dortmund and RB Leipzig.
Both were awful. No doubt when we play them they will be far better.

Steff, I am thinking the same. Watched the Stuttgart game, Dortmund were very poor offensuvely and defensively.
Guaranteed they will improve when they play us.
