I really fancy a crack at Arsenal or Spurs. I reckon we'd give them a right good go. But if it's not to be then I want the easiest draw possible to maximise win bonuses and coefficient points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get from the geographical rivalry standpoint, but take that away and the first sentence doesn't line up with the last six words. Wouldn't you rather play the EPL teams in a Knockout round game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you rather play the EPL teams in a Knockout round game? Knockout stage or group stage, doesn't bother me. It's not just geographical rivalry, though that's a major part of it for me. It's the fact that I genuinely don't think Spurs or Arsenal are top-tier and I'm interested to see where we match up against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless my maths is wrong (and there's a good chance of that) there's a 44% chance of a Scottish club drawing an English club, so we might see if that gets extended. Celtic & Rangers are paired, so will go into different halves, as are Arsenal and Spurs. Leicester are not paired. In one half of the groups there will be 2 English clubs between the 6 groups, so that's a 2 in 3 chance of them not being paired. In the other half there's a 5 in 6 chance of them not being paired. Multiplying them gives a 56% chance of neither being paired. I so badly need to get a life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find them more interesting. Celtic v Leicester would be more appealing to me than if Celtic got Qarabag. Also I'd prefer Rangers to draw Spurs than Gent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic can only get Leicester the other two are in the same pot as Celtic,There will be 3 groups out of 8 with English teams so sevco will have a decent chance of getting one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahemps Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Will be 8 groups next season when it is reduced in size and in effect the bottom ranked 16 sides would be in the new Conference League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe we are in pot 1, the effect of the one off games has changed the qualifying, maybe something that should be put in place going forward.

I think Celtic needed Wolfsburg, Copenhagen, Basel, Sporting and Plzen all to get beat to get in the top pot and they all managed it. 3 of them at home as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of quality of teams ranked above them that had to be knocked out by lower ranked clubs was pretty surprising, at least. That wasn't in their control so it was luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
