That is the Kyiv result done. Means whomever wins the Scottish title next season will likely go straight into Champions League group stages in 22/23. The only scenario that wouldn't happen is if the CL winners next season didn't qualify for the CL through their own league position.

I think that @G51 is right that it was a coin flip. Slavia have more later stages experience however which might have made a bit of difference. Unless I'm mistaken they reached a Europa semi final recently.

I'm delighted mate. Romped the league by March. twitter_20201207_085244.mp4

I would say losing 4-1 home and away to the side 10+ points behind Slavia in the league would actually qualify as a humping.

Horrendous touch from Balogun made that. 9 men for gods sake. 2 nil down now. That's it done now.

Fucking hell. That's that then. Poor second half display and I can't see us doing it with the man down.

Frustrating first half. Thought that was penalty there too so might have got away with that one. Need a strong start and we need Gerrard to be willing to change it quickly if we are still behind.

Need a lot more invention here. Aribo hasn't done enough. Our only threat has been Barisic crosses which they've defended well. We don't have enough men in the box when those balls go in either.

That was coming. Not got a grip in midfield.

Scotland's position ahead of Ukraine in the coefficient rankings nearly secured. Unless Kiev win tonight our result won't even matter in terms of that.

In terms of ball-winning stats Davis is generally 1st for us in interceptions and the likes.

The closest to the ball-winner role is Jack. Maybe he's halfway between that and some kind of playmaker.

Also the record of Italian sides in Europe recently is so so bad. Apart from Bayern the average Bundesliga side has less money than your Inter Milans or Napolis etc. Not only that but the average age of a Bundesliga player is like 22. In Seria A it's very similar to La Liga or the Premier League at about 27-28. More expensive and more experienced players yet barely make a mark on Europe. Ultimately the Italians aren't as tactically aware or as defensively secure as they have traditionally been.

The state of him at the Liverpool v Leipzig game was annoying as well. Supposedly Leipzig "just aren't good enough for the English sides" despite beating an English side to a knockout CL spot this season, beating the team that knocked out the Premier League winners last season and getting further than any English team. The guy is a roaster.

There will be loads of folk going down. I got flights down myself but some people I know were booking the sleeper trains for it months ago and they were selling out very quickly.

Anyone know what the current laws regarding driving lessons are and if they are subject to change with the loosening of restrictions?

Apart from Grant Hanley I'm pretty happy with that.

Well done Steve Clarke or was it the draw of the Euros? Either way that is massively positive news. A guy that can hold the ball up with pace. A big improvement on what we have.

Roy Keane is brilliant on Sky. Love his dry sense of humour and his ability to generate seethe He's a dinosaur pundit and from that it's evident that he would be a poor choice from Celtic. Everything reduced to passion and mentality without any tactical insight or actual knowledge of the players' attributes.

Lennon's Celtic team of 11/12.

I don't care about any of the records really. All about getting us far as we can in Europe and then second priority is the Scottish Cup. The only one I do want is the clean sheets record just because it would be a bit of an embarrassment if we didn't get it now. Only one more off matching the record.

Now we've had confirmation that Police Scotland have been at it all week with both sides. They have a budget blackhole of £20m+ but are wasting wages on non-crimes for publicity reasons.

I see the UB have caused an inter-generational civil war in the Rangers support.

Gods sake
