What were the bets that all Scottish teams get away draws ... and what bets would there be that the Scum get a home draw for the third straight game?

I noticed when they were 2 legs the Scottish teams rarely got the away draw first (which is supposed to be the preferred option) while Celtic got a lot of home draws.

Willem II away. Worst possible draw.

They have a nice strip at least (red, white and blue stripes).

I think we'll have enough to deal with them too.

Under Gerrard, we've been really good in Europe but the one-leg, no crowd situation might alter things a bit.

 

Given our history in Europe, I tend to remain pessimistic - AEK Athens, Unirea Thingybob and Kaunas always remain at the back of my mind.  There are some decent sides in the next qualifier and matches, particularly if we're drawn away from home, won't be easy.

You must be too young to remember Leeds, Marseille, Stuttgart etc then ?

we did well against PSV. 

 

If this was over 2 legs i would be far more confident. 

 

Oh well it is what it is. Nightmare draw for them too.

I was at the Marseille 2-2 game.  Under Smith we had two unbelievable Euro runs (92/93 and 07/08) but we also had some total embarrassments.

But rather than be glass half empty why not reminisce over the positives and be glass half full ?
