    Lovely.

    A wee jaunt to the Reeperbahn, plus payback against Vienna. Happy with that.

    They are actually a strong anti-fascist club and have strong links with St Pauli aswell as other anti-fascist clubs. I wouldnt reccomend acting the bollox in israel anyway, whether you support the movement or not itll just seem like an act to wind up supporters and will do ourselves no favours.

    We should quaify from this group, theres no reason why we shouldnt IMO, looking up details for the hamburg away game now.

    no flags should be at our games with a palestinian connection,do we have a palestinian player,no.if you go to someones country,you go with respect for their laws,that is why we have a good reputation abroad,we treat them with respect.f*** why would you go to a volatile area like israel and deliberatley * off the locals,that projects a gret image for the club

    I think I'm gonna fly to Hamburg on the Thursday, stay for the Pauli match that weekend then fly back in time for the OF. Waiting for fixtures to be confirmed though.

    and if he wasn't ?

    then he gose over there pulls out a flag the police don't like it go to eject him the drunk celtic fans don't like it and this starts a full scale riot and all know how they deal with riots over there .

    if he's joking fair enough just trying to make sure that don't happen .

    The Hapoel fans are very liberal mate - a lot of them are actually in favour of a Palestinian State.

    This is a fascinating draw - opportunity to hook up with the St Pauli crowd in Hamburg, many of whom will be at the game. Hapoel likewise a very congenial lot, will make friends there as long as there's no nutters freakin out. And the opportunity for revenge against Rapid.

    Really excellent draw.

    Football-wise, HSV still quite a young team, a lot of their players lack the Euro experience we have. Rapid are OK, but we can definitely take them - Villa really slipped up there. The banana-skin is Hapoel: they're not an amazing team, and not that high-profile, but their fast counterattacking is something we've traditionally struggled against. Careful preparation required...

    I think it's not a bad group for us. Hamburg away will be difficult but I fancy our chances in all our home games and we should have a chance of doing something in Israel and Vienna.

    I just worked out that if Celtic were to reach the Europa League final we will have played 19 games in Europe this season alone! That's half a league season just in Europe!

    Does anybody think European football is just getting too big now? To have to play 19 matches to win a European trophy is just overkill in my book.

    Gotta watch out for Hoffman and Maierhoffer in Rapid's team. Jelavic too. They got a lot of talent.

    it was me and tbh a wasn't joking AT ALL !!!
    whats the matter with having a palestine flag in their ground?
    most of the hapoel fans are comrades with the green brigade and show palestine flags at there games most of the time. Dont see the problem with showing our support for fans over the water who with most fans have the same views or how football should be.

    so for all the fans on here saying discrace this and discrace that you have missed the point completely and it's your views that have got scottish football into the state that it's in with your narrow minded views on how a palestine flag is instantly ment to be a wind up to the other fans ...... get a grip !!!

    totally agree with the comment about how the israeli police would do this and that if you brought out a flag, get them out of the competition if their police force cannot provide a certain level of security to both home and away fans
