The Prestigious Europa League 2021/22

It’s a group of great teams but we’re up against it to go through and won’t with a defence that we had out last night.

Agreed

I think we can come second in that group.

We can but we’re up against it.

Spanish teams have a very good record in the EL and Leverkusen have some really good players.

here are the groups
I really fear for this competition now and i think it could go the way of the old ECWC ( in fact if you think about it - this actually basically is the old ECWC as i think leagues ranked all the way down to 16 have their domestic cup winners in this at some stage
all the hype is around the conference league
there are some serious groups here tho with a lot of old school european pedigree

look at group D - Group D : Olympiacos, Frankfurt, ï»żFenerbahçe, Antwerp 
 wow

We’ll take that :hammer_and_pick:

Happy with that group, I think we’ll have enough to qualify. Some cracking trips there as well :cry:

Leicester will do well not to get their cunts kicked in visiting Naples, Moscow and Warsaw :ronnyroar:

3rd place gets us ECL at least?

That’s a happy enough result for me. We only really have Spuds and Roma to fear there.

Yes, this was clarified by your friend in Celtic, @Rocko, in one of the early thread posts.

Please read back and revise your comments on the draw outcome accordingly, if necessary.

I’d take third right now. Think we have a realistic chance of a ECL SF spot if we avoid Spuds and Roma.

Spuds are in a reasonably tricky group too.

Celtic’s home match against Ferencvarosi TC in the Europa League has been confirmed as taking place on Tuesday 19th October with a 1530hrs kick off.

Due to the Cop26 Conference taking place in Glasgow, Police Scotland informed us that no home matches may take place on match day 4 of the Europa League.

This means UEFA must schedule two home fixtures in the city on match day 3. Police Scotland, stewarding companies and other match day service providers are unable to facilitate two major fixtures at home on the same day.

Therefore UEFA has informed us that the Club’s Matchday 3 in the Europa League Group stage in October must change date from the normal Europa League slot.

In addition, we have been also been informed that the match will be required to have a late afternoon kick-off to avoid a clash with UEFA Champions League matches.

In an attempt to avoid this change we have been in extensive discussions with all relevant authorities, exhausting all avenues to try and establish a better solution for the club and our supporters, however none of these other options have been successful, due to either UEFA considerations, policing requirements or domestic fixture scheduling.

Clearly this is an unfortunate and unique set of circumstances driven by COP26. We fully understand the frustrations of our supporters. We can assure our fans that we have made significant representation at the highest levels to try and avoid this eventuality.

Recognising the inconvenience which this scheduling can cause to our supporters we are pleased to announce that season ticket holders will have the option to secure three match packages or priority access to single match tickets , giving fans more flexibility.

Arrangements for supporters who are on our Home Cup Ticket Scheme will be communicated directly to them.

We were also pleased to announce last week that season ticket holder three match packages have already been frozen at 2018/19 prices, this option continues to offer the best chance to see all 3 games at Celtic Park from your own seat.

While these matters are totally outwith our control, once again we want our fans to know that we fully understand the frustration this may cause.

However, we do hope you can still join us for each and every game at Celtic Park in this really exciting Group stage.

We thank you sincerely for your continued support.

Unbelievable scenes in Warsaw.

Spartak Moscow keeper saves a 97th minute penalty against Legia to preserve their 1-0 lead.

They top the group on 10 points ahead of Napoli on goal difference.

Leicester drop down to the Conference League having lost 3-2 in Naples. They would have gone through had Legia scored the penalty.

The Stiffs that Moysie has sent out as we’re through as group winners already are one down in the first 5 mins :grimacing:

Good achievement for Sevco to qualify for the knockouts 3 years in a row

You’d have expected them to qualify the last two years.

Two handy enough groups.

Bitton the pansy won’t want to play on anyway.
