Talking Congratulations to the 'Tic

Ya wee beauty. Get in there. Celtic qualify and maintain their formidable home record in the C/L. After i'd spent most of the game moaning about the lack of any contibution from Nakamura up pops the star of the rising sun and produces one of the best executed freekicks i've seen. I'll take anyone in the next round.
Next year sees the 40th anniversary of Celtic's amazing triumph in Lisbon over Inter Milan to win the European cup. I can think of one great way to comemorate this next May (take your time folks).
Ironic note: Man U say before the match how they would love to see Celtic qualify along side them (after they've beaten us of course ). Well, we've done our bit Fergie waiting on your lot now.


The FORCE will always triumph over the dark side!!!

Congratulations indeed! we're in the last 16 and now I'm actually thinking about the possibility of going further! got to agree with you about Naka. I thought he was terrible until the free kick and even he said this in the paper yesterday. In fact I thought that Celtic's use of the ball in the early part of the game was rotten, and i dont put that down to Man U. Certainly we probobly didnt deserve to win the game but we have put in some brilliant perfomances in the champions league in the past and went out so it was satasfying to play so poorly beat one of the top two teams in England and go through.

Quick note; the English commentators should look at some of the discissions in the last match (giggs penalty) and the shameful award for a penelty in this match before they start talking about discissions not going for utd. The ref was doing everything he could to help out utd and the commentators decided to look at the Jarosik foul and claim that Maloney deliberatly handballed it!

it's ironic that one of our worst ever C/L performances earns us qualification to the knockout stages yet we played far better at times under O'Neill and never made it. Fair play to Strachan for having the balls to change things at half time and get us back in the match.

Well done to Celtic deservedly into the knock out stage and with a decent draw who knows how far they could go.I thought Celtic were poor in the first half and lucky to go in level but Strachan did a great job at half time and Maloney & Jarasik both made a big impact.

more looking at teams i think we could beat just now. I think the lIverpool tie would make it a high profile game but we'd certainly be capable of the win.

cant say i shed any tears for Manure's defeat. despite celtic being poor for most of the game man u got what they deserved for their arrogance and showboating. most neutrals must have been roaring celtic on after man u's display

Celric were the underdog to get through and now could go further and you dont know how far that is. I would love to see a lyon vs celtic game, i think that would be there first meetings but imagine guys what players they will be against, some of celtics youngsters will dream playing against some of these players. Celtic will be really going for winning every game in the champions league and i bet Strachan has really got them going to see the draw and who they play.

We played Lyon in the Champions League about 3/4 years ago. We won at Celtic Park with a great Liam Miller goal. Lost in Lyon to a late penalty scored by Juninho to put us out. We were a few minutes away from eliminating Lyon on that occasion.

Nope that was the season before O'niell came to parkhead under John Barnes "managemet" (a shudder just went right down my spine when i typed that).

Lets face it, we had done nothing in europe for years before MON came to Parkhead and then we had a few close ones. The one that really stings for me was the first time we reached the group stages and beat Juve at Parkhead. We won all of our home matches but it was that diving little tally scumbag Amoruso that cost us in Italy "SHOCKING!!!!".

Congratulations to the Celtic team. Is a great achievement to reach the second stage. However, I think that Liverpool or Barcelona would be just too hard for them to advance any further. So enjoy this moment.
