Very naive performance from Aberdeen last night but the better team won. Celtic carrying the Scottish flag once again.

Celtic got Astana, nervy tie last year but I think Celtic will go through.
Still shocking that the champions of Scotland have to play 3 double header ties before getting to the CL.

To be fair, the scottish league is a bit of a joke. Celtic have made it out of the group stage 4 times in the last 20 years.

Least with there manager being a keen advocate of Bielsa style of playing out from the back they'll be no complaints of aggressive route one football...

I agree mate, League Champions from each country should be given automatic group stage, then the co-efficient should be used for the rest.
Celtic have recently received very little back up from other Scottish teams in Europe in recent years as well as struggling themselves at times.

Ultimately it is for champions and the champions of every member nation get into it or at least get to qualify. Is it right the champions of Scotland have to play 2 qualifiers more than England's 4th placed team, not to mention the third or 2nd place teams? It's a cash cow designed for countries with the largest TV audience.
Former winners of the Champions Cup shouldn't have to pre-qualify if they earn the spot as their countries champion

Just another example of football selling its soul.
