The OP Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I've been presuming Rijeka are shite because Aberdeen beat them but, then again, Aberdeen beat Real Madrid and I hear they're pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Rijeka have moved on since then and I'm not sure they've lost a match since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominique Malonga Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I've been presuming Rijeka are shite because Aberdeen beat them but, then again, Aberdeen beat Real Madrid and I hear they're pretty good. They came off the back of a couple of reasonably successful European campaigns when Aberdeen put them out, beating Feyenoord, Standard Liege and drawing with eventual winners Sevilla. It just goes to show how impressive Aberdeens away performance was against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 If it was Dinamo Zagreb as a potential opponent instead of Rijeka, it would probably be the one you would want to avoid out of the teams mentioned. Given they finished ahead of Zagreb last year and are top of the league early this season, you'd assume Rijeka are better than Zagreb and to be avoided.

wastecoatwilly Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I think Celtic are a better team since we played astana,qarabag and beer sheva plus hard to judge on the friendly against slavia Rijeka must be a decent side putting out RB salzburg if they are the same team from a few years back so no gimmies for celtic since Celtic put 3 of them out before they won't want to get us but will know what to expect out of the 5 i would say qarabag are the weakest but all very similar, astana very comfortable on the ball but lack a cutting edge Beer sheva don't travel well but very good at home Brendan won't make the same mistakes as the last time away for me rijeka and slavia are ones to avoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qarabag and Astana: squeak through... just Rijeka: Europa League beckons Don't rely just on coefficients mate. Slavia may have a low coefficient but they won a strong Czech league last year so I reckon would be tougher than Qarabag or Astana. Hapoel's coefficient is also deceptively low because they have only been on the big scene a couple of years but they have a lot of money (by Israeli league standards) so can afford a team better than their coefficient would suggest. I agree that Rijeka are the toughest potential opponent but think Celtic have a chance to beat them. Here is how I rank the strength of the 5 potential teams from strongest to weakest 1. Rijeka 2. Hapoel 3. Slavia 4. Astana 5. Qarabag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'd be very interested to see how Celtic would do against Rijeka. They're a very good side and if anything are better than when we played them. We probably got lucky and caught them cold over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
