    Why not, mate? It's very unlikely; but if the Huns can make a EL final, why can't we?

    Why not? It's basically this season or never, because the parachute is going away after this and I think we 100% agree on our chances of the CL (roughly my chances with Rihanna). Plus the final's in Dublin.

    We're so far off being competitive in Europe at the moment it's depressing..

    One reason: we aren't going to set up the way they have. If we did, this squad, with a new GK and LB could realistically fight to the latter EL stages. But the way we play, we'll get torn to pieces.

    Yeah, but we're not even competitive domestically at the moment given that we just got papped out of 1 competition at the first hurdle. :56:

    If we get the signings Rodgers needs and the team starts playing like we know he can get them to play...


    And if that doesn't happen, we'll be in big trouble and I'll be happy just to pip Rangers to the league.

    Finishing 3rd in the CL group would be massive at this point..

    Our injuries and lack of strengthening at this point will make winning the league the main thing, this season.

    I take the view that it depends on the draw. We'll need a lucky draw, such as the one we got last year.

    If we were in the EL I'd say we'd have a good chance of getting out the groups, I think we have 0 chance of getting 3rd in CL. Just not good enough. So that's why we won't hit a final.

    Celtic will focus on extending some contracts at Parkhead as transfer expert Fabrizio Romano drops an exclusive update to GIVEMESPORT on the Hoops’ potential plans in the window’s final days.



    Brendan Rodgers hopes to see his side in good shape come the end of the market as the Glasgow giants look to win a third consecutive Scottish Premiership title this season.



    It has been a relatively busy transfer window at Celtic this summer, who have had to transition following the departure of Australian head coach Ange Postecoglou.

    The 57-year-old was tempted by Tottenham Hotspur’s offer to manage south of the border, leaving the Hoops searching for a new boss for the first time since summer 2021.

    Eventually, Celtic turned to a familiar face, re-appointing Rodgers after he left Parkhead for Leicester City in January 2019 before being sacked at the King Power Stadium in April this year.


    So far, the Celtic Park outfit have made seven new additions this summer while also losing the services of several key players.

    Former Portugal U21 winger Jota left Scotland for the riches of the Saudi Pro League in July, securing a £25m move to champions Al-Ittihad.

    Meanwhile, Carl Starfelt joined Celta Vigo for a reported fee of £4.3m, leaving the Hoops with no choice but to utilise the transfer market for additions this summer.

    Legia Warsaw defender Maik Nawrockiarrived on a five-year deal for £4.3m, offering the Hoops a direct replacement for Starfelt.



    Meanwhile, Elfsborg centre-back Gustaf Lagerbielke has bolstered Rodgers’ backline for around £3m.

    In midfield, Odin Thiago Holm has arrived from Valerenga, hinting that Rodgers was keen on improving the quality in the core of his side.

    Romano recently told GIVEMESPORT that the remaining weeks of the window were important for Celtic as they aim to keep their best players.

    And the transfer guru believes Celtic will be active in the final days of the market but has emphasised the club’s priority on extending the contracts of some players.


    What has Romano said about Celtic?
    Romano told GIVEMESPORT: “Yes, I think yes. Now, they are trying to keep things quiet and extend some contracts because this will be a priority for Celtic right after the end of the transfer window. But yes, I think they will be active.

    “They will look at opportunities, as Rodgers mentioned. They need to add something to the team.”
