I forget McGinn wasn’t a Celtic youth player he just failed a trial ?. Celtic and Hibs both got another Man City winger, how many players do they loan out btw ?, and they have a small squad that Lennon wants to add to. Let’s hope they go out next week along with the erse cheeks. Last sentence Edited August 10, 2018 by 1971fozzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To not score against them doesn't seem like a good result. The only positive for Hibs is that they didn't concede. I wouldn't class that as a good result Hibs are out Molde were beaten by Glenavon in the previous round but thrashed in Norway.Poor travellers so hopefully a similar pattern developing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'm not sure how much I care about hibs in Europe now. I want them pumped out before the groups but until then it just seems like a load of extra games for a fairly small squad which could take its toll. Financially trips to Greece and Norway aren't cheap when you charter flights etc so I'm not sure how much they will actually make...great for the fans euro trips but until the group it's not that beneficial to the club's financially. I'm not suggesting I hope they win I'm just a bit meh about it. I also don't know how well they've done as I've no idea about the quality of opposition, I'm a lot more interested in how they do at Perth on Sunday, the tell give us a better indicator of how much they're missing the departed midfield.

kirkierobroy Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Not a Jambo so must say I would be quite pleased if the Old Squirm got booted out (and I still think/hope Maribor's away goal might be significant) and your Leith chums stayed in. They're a bit of a loose cannon team but they could quite easily score away. Haven't seen the game but I understand Molde set up to defend, which surprised me.

John Findlay Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 If AEK defeat Celtic next week. Do Celtic parachute into the Europa League? If they do. Will the Green Brigade display a banner at Parkhead saying this rule is disgusting and only favours the big clubs? Afterall if you get beat that should be the end of your European competition. Getting in the Europa League after failing in the Champions league is no different from 4th placed team getting a champions league group place. Both rules awarding failure in my eyes.

busby1985 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Rangers game is far from done. Maribor cut them open loads last night and I don’t think they’ll score over there as Morelos is humpty. I’ve seen loads of rangers this pre season etc and they are 100% getting the break of the ball just now. McGregor never came for a cross last night and the Maribor man has a free header but mistimed his header, hit his shoulder and goes wide. Same boy gets one on one with McGregor, scuffs his shot, rebound is also scuffed and flannigan clears on the line. All little breaks that are making them look better than they are. It feels like a house of cards just now with rangers and they are one result away from it crumbling. Any team that attacks them ie Celtic etc I think could destroy them. PS. I have a family connection at Ibrox now for the next 4 years, hence the reason for being at the games.

No Barker / McGinn / McGeogh / Allan. They had the best midfield in the league last season and don’t have it anymore. Days of them scoring freely are over Molde had 52% of possession, Hibs had 5 shots on target to Molde's 2, Hibs hit the woodwork twice, and apart from that it was a pretty comfortable night, although if Molde had scored just one of their free headers, Hibs would be in tatters.

martoon Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I walked down Easter Road last night, not long before kick off, dressed head to toe in Hearts gear. Only a few funny looks at first but then it got nasty. To cut a long story short, I'd karate kicked my way all the way down to Albion Road before the police stopped me. It took 4 cops, a limb each, before I was contained and forced into the meat wagon. I glanced back up Easter Road as I was driven away (had to admire the great view of Arthur's Seat the Hibby boasts about) and observed the destruction I'd caused. There were paramedics as far as the eye could see, attending to all the gone-to-seed '80's casuals I'd swept aside. I shared a congratulatory beer with the arresting officers before they dropped me back off at the top of Easter Road to start again. What? You don't believe me? It's true, honest. Well...just as true as the tale of the Hibs.nut who scuttled along Gorgie Road yesterday afternoon, apparently, and destroyed Hearts supporters with his razor sharp wit.

Boab Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 After sooking on some lemons to wipe the smile off my face, it's back to see how the three remaining teams get on this week. The Hooped Demons are first up and could drop into the Europa League quite easily ! As for the other two, I can see sevco going through with Hibs going out. Counting Aberdeen's second game as a draw, there's not been a defeat yet, which is surprising. So, sevco and demons going into the play off round of the Europa is my guess.

Armageddon? Nope, but they will be stronger for it. In fact, they are on record saying they need European football. Aberdeen have been 2nd and rangers have yet to win a cup while relaying on soft loans to compete. 2nd is still up open even now, rangers getting £5m won't help that. Just like hibs got a bump, rangers have yet to fully recover and become their former glorious selves. I think my points regarding rangers have held up well over 3 years. Back on topic, as before well done to all but hopefully all pumped out now. All have a chance tho, celtic have the biggest task to go through. Rangers should be OK but if they go 1 down could have a wobble. Hibs might get pumped, but if they score 1 they have a chance.
