    We'll find out tonight what Pot we'll be in i would say. Olympiakos go through it's nearly 100% Pot 4 but their result in the balance. Main thing is we're in there!! GET IN!!

    It would probably help as well if we didn't have to travel to * Asia for European ties!

    We could have won again tonight, a slip in concentration was our only error, but Brendan always learns from these things, im so happy and proud!!!!cant wait for draw, i think we get through with a little luck, and get more cash to prepare for the main event........., which will always be 10 in a row!!...

    Yes, our backline was suspect today, especially as neither of the CBs would be anywhere near to being the preferred pairing, let alone the fact this, I believe, was their first time paired up at the heart of defence. Didn't help that Lustig didn't have his best night either, but the main issues were with the 2 CBs. With 2 CBs out injured, and I dare say had the tie been more in the balance going into the match Jozo would have been used. So it does make quite a bit if difference.

    I bet young Coetzee cannot wait now to get to Lennoxtown and meet up with the Bhoys, as he will be coming into the club thinking that he has a real shot, not only of regular football, but genuinely of playing in Europe as well.

    We know we csn score, that is not the issue, but if we are to really progress in Europe we definitely need to tidy up at the back.

    And in a way, I think that this is a good thing. BR has time now, knows where work needs to be done, the team will be a little knocked about having lost their unbeaten record, but that can also be used as a positive by BR to motivate them, to ensure complacency does not creep in again and renew the desire to keep the domestic record in tact.

    Job done , we're in the group stages and 30 million richer.

    I believe we are are a quality centre half away from being a team that can go far in Europe.

    Happy with the result. Very evident we had a lack of proper CB's for this game. Think we would of won with boyata fit and simunovic playing. To get through to the group stages with a makeshift backline for most of the qualifiers is brilliant.

    Well we know we can score goals at any level but by * the defence, even though it was makeshift, just makes you * yourself.

    Those goals conceded will be a good reminder of the work that needs doing in defence and they came at the perfect time (just when we could afford to concede)hopefully the team will have learned a few things tonight regarding our defence.
    Any body but Barca!

    Can't be. A defensively-minded CM is needed. Ntcham and Armstrong both like to attack. Ajer could be that protection for the others, but he is not a CB. Not yet.

    Yes our defence needs shored up but last season it was missed chances really and it is a lot of time we can create just sometimes we don't take out chances the mcgregor sitter in Germany still hurts

    If you manage to score 8 goals, 5 at home and 3 away, then you do expect to be qualifying.

    Glad we added those 2 goals in the 2nd half. Would have felt unjust it we ended up like Ber Sheva last year, hanging on by the skin of our teeth.

    They could have scored to make it 5-1 or 6-1, but we could have scored more in the first half.

    Probably the craziest tie I've ever seen.

    I quite enjoy the games V the English teams. Every time they hype themselves up for a Celtic destruction and every time we more than hold our ground against the * and their billion pound teams.

    Ntcham looks capable at dm also has won more challenges on that side of the pitch than say bitton who is a dm by nature
