4 cracking games from a personal view on tv tonight. Nakamura free kick against Man Utd one of the best you'll ever see. Was lucky enough to be at 3 of them (not the Juventus game) and for anyone who hasn't seen or heard it before, that world famous atmosphere.

Celtic against the big boys in the CL over the years have truly put on some classic performances that is for sure.

Shame they are not doing better in europe.

Sadly it's something we've lost in recent times, been on the wrong end of a few doings from Barca and PSG in particular but they've done the same to better squads than ours. Perfect example above with Barca giving PSG the same sort of doing they gave us.
 
Not enough money in Scottish Football for the big two to really be competitive in europe.

I have always liked Celtic and always wanted them to do better in Europe than they have.

Exactly mate, there are teams in the English championship that get more in tv revenue and could even pay more money in wages than we could. The majority of our money comes from season ticket sales, merchandise and buying players cheap and selling them on for big money. We get something like 5 million for winning the league up here, team that finishes bottom of the premier league gets about 4 times that, still get parachute payments as well probably. The money is England is ridiculous but with that comes obscene amounts of money being spent on a lot of very mediocre players.
