      It's dire isn't it?! When the Scottish Championship (with Rangers and the newly relegated Edinburgh pair) is more competitive than the SPL then you know times are hard. There is no progression or slither of hope in the Scottish game. The only positive thing going for Scottish football is that they seem to have hired the right manager in Gordon Strachan. Ok, he's no football revolutionary and he ain't going to get them playing world beating football but he is at least organised and geared towards team mentality giving them some hope that they may get to the play offs at the expense of Ireland and Poland for the Euro's in 2016. Even at that, it's a tough ask.

      Overall I couldn't care less though. I am Scottish but I don't give a sh*t whether Scotland qualify or don't qualify for tournaments. It's a toxic wasteland for the sport, the SFA are a disorganised mess and Celtic and Rangers continue to be a massive detriment to the integrity and progress of the sport in the country.

      It bothers me although I am not Scottish because we have had so many fantastic players from north of the border. I always think a Liverpool team with a Scot in it just feels right.I so wanted Charlie Adam to work but never mind. Funny thing is when you look back 40 years or so Scottish footballers played tiki taka football long before Barca. Bobby Graham and Peter Cormack you couldn't get players with a better touch than them.what went so wrong

      I wouldn't be surprised if they won well at home though. Their away form in Europe has always been a joke, but with that crowd at home they are a different proposition.

      It would be a great occasion if we got them in our group ( not to mention 6 easy points for us)

      Looks like Rangers have knocked Celtic out of the CL.

      I guess they don't even get to the Europa League either.

      Thinking about putting a few quid on them winning the SPL, like printing money I tell you.

      Odds anything between 1/12 to 1/100.

      I'm an accountant with no coaching training at all, and I could take the Celtic job part time and still win the league by 20 points.

      Maribor v Celtic
      Salzburg v Malmo
      Aalborg v APOEL
      Steaua Bucharest v Ludogorets
      Slovan Bratislava v BATE Borisov
      Besiktas v Arsenal
      Standard Liege v Zenit
      Copenhagen v Bayer Leverkusen
      Lille v Porto
      Napoli v Athletic Bilbao

      Some good games in there. Hopefully Lille get through so Origi can get some more Champions League games.

      Champions League: Legia Warsaw ask Celtic for meeting
      Legia Warsaw have issued an open letter to Celtic requesting a "meeting" to decide which side should progress to the Champions League play-off round.

      The Polish side beat the Scottish champions 6-1 on aggregate in the third qualifying round.

      However, Legia were then punished by Uefa for fielding the ineligible Bartosz Bereszynski in the second leg.

      Reinstated Celtic were drawn to face Maribor in the play-off but Legia want another chance to reach that stage.

      "Meet in Warsaw or in Glasgow and let's settle this matter honourably," wrote Legia co-owner Dariusz Mioduski in the letter.

      Mioduski praised the stature of both clubs and describes Uefa's punishment as "deeply unjust and contrary to the spirit of fair play".

      The statement, posted on the Legia Warsaw website, reads: "Celtic FC is a legend in European football - the club with an incredible tradition, which since 1888 co-creates the story of the most beautiful game in the world.

      "At the basis of this legend are not only amazing sporting achievements, but also the determination and commitment to values ​​such as honesty and honour."

      And, the statement alludes to Celtic's European Cup win in 1967.

      "Celtic FC wrote one of the most beautiful pages in the history of European football, when in 1967 they unexpectedly defeated in the final of the Champions Cup mighty Inter Milan headed by Helenio Herrera.

      "Imagine that Jock Stein and Billy McNeill were deprived of the greatest triumph in their athletic career by completing the application form wrong.

      It continues: "Do not destroy the beautiful clubhouse heritage that you have left in the care of previous generations, 'The Bhoys'. I challenge you, would you in the spirit of the game and fair play, and on the basis of Art. 34 paragraph 5 of the Uefa Disciplinary Regulations of Legia Warsaw took a common position on the Uefa disciplinary bodies. Meet in Warsaw or in Glasgow and let's settle this matter honourably."

      Celtic have yet to issue an official response, but BBC Scotland understands that they are unlikely to agree to the request.

      I don't know what Scottish is for F**k Off, but seriously!

      So fielding an ineligible player isn't against the spirit of fair play?

      They've got some brass, they should be told exactly where they can go. They know the rules, they broke them so therefore deserve their punishment.

      Think its ironic what they're asking for but in no way shape or form to Celtic deserve to be in the next stage, another team should be allowed a chance.

      Why should it be another team? It was Celtic who were playing against a team with an ineligible player so they have every right to be the ones who benefit from Legia being kicked out regardless of how sh*t they are.

      An ineligible player who played no part in differing the outcome of the leg.
