CELTIC V RIGA

Dundalk have a team from the Faroes to qualify. Have an Irish team qualified for the groups before?

Must have but i can't remember any of them.

Weren’t they in the EL recently?

Big military exercise coming to Scotland. Won’t be seeing much of pointy! Assuming they’re not allowed shore leave for Covid?

But you will not have to wait until October to see some of the action - ships will begin to arrive in Scotland from September 30, with eight frigates from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France and Portugal docking at King George V Docks in Glasgow between September 30 and October 4.

"Dundalk have a team from the Faroes to qualify. Have an Irish team qualified for the groups before?"

Yeah......an Irish team (part time semi professional) have definitely qualified for the groups at least once. Can't remember which team. Advantage of March - November season when fitness levels are ahead of most teams during qualifiers though this season that probably doesn't apply.

Sounds like Dundalk are in with a decent shout for the group stages.

Rangers v Galatasaray will be close, i fancy us right enough.

Sarajevo should be easy enough.

Think you'll get thro' that one OK. See that SG is making Galatasaray favourites this morning. No idea where he gets that from. Maybe a name from the past, but they've never been great travellers, and finished 6th in their league last season ... and are only in Europe at all because the team that finished 2nd is banned. Typical managers' speak, I guess.

I don't accept that, we are favourites imo not by much right enough but we're at home and have a fantastic record in Europe in recent seasons.
