    It is what it is, we always knew we would get a tough group. 6 games in against the worlds best that's what it's all about and I would fancy our chances against Anderlecht.

    See that's the mindset brother. All this doom and gloom when we are sitting very pretty.

    If you don't meet the European away criteria next to no chance for the away end and even home end will be nigh on impossible unless you know someone in Germany who can help.

    Its PSG and Bayern Munich. One club just spent 200m on one player and the other is Bayern munich (regular finalists and late stage contributors). Its like some people dont even watch european football and realise the unreal quality these clubs have. stick to watching the spl if you like

    Not absolutely, it works in sets of two, matchdays 1/2 3/4 5/6, each pair will have one Tuesday game and one Wednesday game, but you could have 2/3 or 4/5 be on the same day of the week.

    Far as I know mate yeah it will be like I said earlier. Could just as easily be match 1 is a Wed and match 2 Tue, 3 Wed etc. No idea how long it'll be before anything gets announced officially

    Already had two hearts fans messaging me if they can get a ticket for bayern game!

    Celtic isnt a tourist club, go to man city for that!

    Sad thought to think Celtic fans will have to fight for tickets against other SPL fans.

    See with yourself, you talk as if you are the only person who has knowledge on European football. I have not been on mars and do know the revolting money spent by PSG. I am also well aware that Bayern are a powerhouse that acquires a lot of its talent by buying the best young players coming through Other German clubs. But overall I do support the SPL as it is where my team play and dominate. Good or bad that's the deal. It's almost as if you resent the SPL with your last hint of sarcasm. And yes, last couple of years I have mainly only watched the hoops. No interest in anyone else really, but I try to keep an eye. But it's much easier when I have a football buff like yourself keeping me well educated. So we may as well just play Anderlacht is your theory. That cool Barry, cheers!:50:

    Bayern Munich reaction

    Carlo Ancelotti: “It’s an exciting group with great teams and PSG the pick of them. That’s a nice story for me to come up against my former club. Celtic have great support as everyone knows and Anderlecht are the Belgian champions so not one to underestimate. Three different but difficult opponents.”

    Hasan Salihamidzic: “PSG is a spectacular draw. The club with the biggest name and I’m really looking forward to it. I played against Celtic myself in 2003 and it was the loudest stadium I’ve ever been inside. I also faced Anderlecht and they also have a good atmosphere with loud support. The biggest mistake would be to underestimate them. We have to prepare well for all our opponents if we want to top the group.”

    Manuel Neuer: “It’s an interesting draw. PSG is of course a cracker – I’ve never played them before so am really looking forward to it. I’ll also be facing Celtic for the first time. Celtic Park is known for its amazing atmosphere so this draw gets me excited for the fans too. Anderlecht aren’t easy opponents either and we can’t underestimate them. They’ve claimed some big scalps in the past so we have to ready for that.”

    Thomas Müller: “There are some household European names in our group. PSG are interesting opponents – I’ve never faced them before. It’ll also be a show against Celtic with their great support behind them. Either way, we want to progress from the group.”

    Mats Hummels: “It’s a good group. Our objective is of course to progress but PSG is very appealing. They’re a spectacular side so bring it on! It’s a chance to test ourselves against some of the best. I’m also pleased there aren’t any long trips on the cards.”

    Corentin Tolisso: “I think we’ve been given a really nice group. PSG of course will be a great challenge. They’ve really strengthened this summer with Neymar and Dani Alves so it’ll be two great games. But we also have to win our games against Anderlecht and Celtic, which is doable. Of course I’m looking forward to seeing my France teammates in Paris like Alphonse Areola and Adrien Rabiot.”

    Kingsley Coman: “That’s by no means an easy draw but I’m really looking forward to facing PSG. I only got the chance to play once at that amazing stadium during my first year there so I’m looking forward to returning with Bayern even more. But we also have to concentrate on the games against Anderlecht and Celtic and not just assume they’re a given. If we manage to play to our ability in these games then we can absolutely win the group.”

    Bayern are poor under Ancelotti compared to Pep I fancy taking them at home, PSG will win the group. Anderlecht we should beat at home but they are a very good home side in Europe.

    Hopefully qualified before that last game and it's a dead rubber. Not bothered if we're 1st or 2nd
