    The one bit of hope I have from tonight is that we won't play anywhere near as bad against Bayern & Anderlecht. Not a chance.

    Let's not kid ourselves - PSG were very, very, very good tonight. As good a performance I've seen at Celtic Park in a long, long time.

    The players & management team will watch the game back & be embarrassed at how much respect we showed them & Rodgers will ensure things change for the rest of the group games.

    Very rarely do we have a game when not one of our players turn up. Tonight was that one game.

    It won't happen again.

    Celtic 0 - 5 PSG
    Bayern 3 - 0 Anderlecht
    Chelsea 6 - 0 Qarabag
    ManU 3 - 0 Basel.

    That's the big clubs with 17-0 over four matches against clubs of our size. The distance between us and the top is bigger than the difference between us and the rest of Scotland. But unlike our situation, it is not built off of fan support, homegrown talent, or ticket sales.

    Fecking Scottish media do my * in

    Has someone just died???

    They played very well - we played poorly and didn't make them work hard enough for their goals

    No one expected us to pick any points up

    Let's move on

    Six matches where clubs from the big leagues went up against those from smaller leagues. The combined score was 24-0. It's * pointless isn't it?

    "Two teams who contested the 1970 European Cup final, losing 5-0 & 4-0 at home to clubs financed by Qatar & UAE.
    Sign of the times."

    Talking about Feyenoord Vs City as well...

    We can't compete with this. There ought to be a law against it.
    And to think Bayern reached the Final last year with a team that cost 40M.

    Bayern haven't been in a Champions League Final since 2013 when their 2 goal scorers cost approximately 40 million.

    A team of PSG's players who didn't play/start last night would've probably won 5-0 as well.

    Trapp
    Bechirche Kimbempe Georgen Meunier
    Ben-Arfa Draxler Nkunku
    Di-Maria Guedes Lucas

    Frightening!

    Think there's only 1 or 2 players I haven't heard of, but no doubt will be world class.

    That team above definitely wouldn't beat us 5-0 at home imo.

    The team below is much superior and would probably gub that top team anaw.

    Areola
    D Alves Marqinhos T Silva Kurzawa
    Rabiot Motta Verratti
    Mbappe Cavani Neymar​

    Read today we haven't scored in our last 3 CL group stage home games and not won any of the last 9. We've had some absolutely rotten luck in terms of groups and opposition but that is brutal reading :54:

    I must admit I don't know enough about Anderlecht to be confident one way or the other...
