    When will our luck change? Can’t remember us ever getting one of the easier draws in these qualifiers.

    Tbf on paper it looks a * of a draw but I genuinely don’t know any of their players anyone any idea of Greek football! Seen Panathinaikos finished 10th and Olympiacos 5th and PAOK runners up!

    This is a hard draw but not impossible, I bet AEK Athens will not be happy with the draw either as they have one of the hardest. Unsure how they are this season, but they got knocked out of the Champions League at this stage last season and scraped through the Europa League with draws.

    Don’t know much about AEK these days. Is the Greek league no a bit of a riot these days anaw?

    Only guy I kind of recognise is Chygrynskiy who played for Barca years ago.

    Although it is the hardest draw we could of got, also have to look at the positive side of it, It’s Aeks first season in European football since 2011/12 so most of their players should be largely inexperienced in European football, whereas we have a squad full of experience on the big stage. * it we’re doing it the hard way!

    Edit: not Aeks first season back in europe, forgot they were in the EL last year.

    Let’s focus on Rosenborg first and then we can think about AEK if we get through but with that draw I very much doubt the Celtic board will sanction any signings until we know our European fate now!

    We cannot catch a * break in these draws at all!

    Assuming we even beat Rosenborg, the game v AEK at Parkhead will be their first competitive match of the season, by contrast it will be our 5th.

    Why is everyone * the bed? They will be thinking the exact same and in reality if we win to nil at home we will be heavy heavy favourites, only issue is with our defence that's unlikely but either way they're not that good and it's only really like playing Anderlecht last year aside from the manager situation in first game.

    We are more than a match for those *, but let's deal with RBK first.

    Happy to draw a left wing club for once though!

    Got to hope they are a bit rusty with this being their first competitive game of the season.

    I recognise Hult, Livaja, Chygrynskiy, Boye and Ponce. Livaja, Boye and Ponce had a bit of hype surrounding them when braking through.

    Definitely not the easiest of draws.

    Well they don't seem to have any big scorers. In fact they have lost their 2 top scorers from last season, only scoring 50 in total in the league. However they only conceded 12 league goals last season in 30 games. They seem to win 1 or 2 nil.
