    I suppose we would rather play Lincoln Red Imps as it would be a shorter journey. I know we say it every year but a team like Celtic in fifth gear should take 7 or 8 of off these jokers.

    Aye! If anything I'd say that Gibraltar might even be a bit further from Glasgow than Tallinn is.

    Depending on flight route I'd imagine Talinn is probably slightly shorter.

    12 days.

    This round should be easy enough.

    Reckon wee Paddy will be our talisman in these qualifying games.

    Roberts will tear either of these sides to bits.

    Exactly why we need someone else like him on the other side.

    Looking it up there, their dangerman seems to be Rauno Sappinen. 20 year old attacking midfielder who scored 18 last season

    Does anyone know if our away match will be moved if Lincoln Red Imps go through? There was word about it getting moved to a bigger stadium. Like when the Gibraltar national team have to play at Faro for qualifiers.
    Really hoping Lincoln win and we play in Gibraltar as my bro lives there so I will get a holiday at the same time.

    It will definitely be at the Victoria Stadium in Gibraltar if they get through.

    Our friendly match on Wednesday is against one of our possible 3rd rd CL opponents Olimpija Ljubljana.
    They play Trencin in the 2nd rd and are going to be one of the unseeded teams for the Champions route in the 3rd rd.

    Just checked through to group stage and if all seeded teams go through until that stage then Celtic will be in pot 4 alongside
    Ajax
    PSV Eindhoven
    Sporting CP
    Viktoria Plzen
    Club Brugge
    Red Bull salzburg
    Besiktas

    and this would mean not playing them in the groups.
    I think we will get to the groups but it's going to be tough getting through them.

    You're right. Inside-forwards are the way to go.

    I'm hoping he plays Dembele there.

    According to the bookies, there's a 27% chance for Lincoln to go through, and a 73% for Flora to go through. So most likely it will be Estonia we're heading to, but I wouldn't rule out a Gibraltar trip just yet.

    Pessimist. :icon_mrgreen:
    I believe we will get to the Groups and with a bit of luck we will draw Leicester, Leverkusen and Lyon.

    I believe we'll win the Champions League but unfortunately it's played on grass and not my heid!

    We need to take these Qualifiers a step at a time. This first one, even allowing for the fact we're miles better than both, will be difficult. We have no shape, no style of play, no idea of who is best where and no idea of who will actually be playing or if they are fully match fit.

    It will be a struggle getting up to speed so quickly.
