Mikey1874 Posted Tuesday at 22:27 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:27 BBC with the stats Postpublished at 22:33 British Summer Time 22:33 BST FT: Borussia Dortmund 7-1 Celtic Among the blizzard of sorry stats, it appears Celtic are the first British team to concede five goals in the first half of a European match since Cwmbran Town against Progresul Bucharest in the 1997-98 Cup Winners' Cup.

Carter Posted Tuesday at 22:30 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:30 Absolutely ****ing vile club. The irony of the whole pantomime is that Rangers by virtue of their Europa League endeavours almost singlehandedly prop up the Scottish football coefficient which enables Celtic to continue to squirrel Champions League money whilst they get ragdolled, thus pulling further away domestically but at the same time are routinely humiliated on that stage.

They have no capacity, no fight to keep the score down. They do it occasionally. But this happens too often. They drew 2-2 against Atletico Madrid last season, then they get obliterated 6-0. We over-praise, Brendan Rodgers over-praises his players for performances against teams in Scotland with minuscule budgets compared to theirs. The praise is way over the top.

I particularly enjoyed when Tom English pointed out to him that the more pragmatic Rangers won 2-4 in Dortmund recently. Then reeled of 6/7 names that played in both games for the Germans. Pat Bonner was raging desperately trying not to let English finish his sentence lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex member of the SaS Posted Wednesday at 08:07 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:07 How are Celtic supposed to cope against teams with a much bigger budget? I feel sorry for them.......... Aye feckin right I do, they just don't see the irony of complaining when they do the same to every team in the league. Watch most of their games ( and Sevco's ) just hoping for a result like this. Unfortunately most foreign teams stop playing when they go ahead, last night was a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I don't expect the pundits to mention the financial disparity all the time but the complete lack of objectivity is annoying. Tom English is a lone voice.

Ewan Murray pointed out on twitter that Celtics recent annual spend was £105m, St Johnstone annual turnover was £5.1m. Also, Dortmunds squad cost is 6.1x that of Celtic. Celics squad cost 185x that of St Johnstone. The Glasgow media machine decides to ignore this of-course, as it diminishes how fantastically brilliant and extraordinary Celtics domestic record is...
