Season hasn't started yet.  Let's see if he lives up to the hype.  ;)

I hope he does. Especially as there is a direct route to the Champions League group stages via winning the league.

Ange will need a full season to impose his game on the team, as we here all know from all his previous appointments.

There will be defeats in the start of this season, possibly a heavy one to Rangers in round 4 of the league.

He absolutely will excel and do great things at Celtic, provided the board, media and fans to have the patience and forbearance needed in the teething phase.

As long as they stay the course, Ange and Celtic can and will go far.

While I want Ange to be successful, I honestly don’t think he has the cattle this season even with last minute recruits to be a threat in the champions league.
id much prefer Celtic enter the Europa league and have a good crack at that.
If Celtic lose to there opening tie in the champions league qualifying do this still have a chance to be in Europa??

If we lose our tie in the Champions League qualifier, we drop down to the Europa League. If we lose the Europa League qualifier, we drop down to the new Europa Conference League.

I started a post on how it could go and who you could face but there's so many ways it could go. The good news is that there'll most likely be some more European games at any given level to give Ange extra match time to implement his game.

Hey I’m hearing a few rumours that Celtic are looking at Curtis Good from Melbourne City… he is a gun centre back, has City group links, played in Scotland before and I believe Ange does rate him from the national team days.
is he over his injuries? Always thought he’d be something special and cross my fingers he would play at the highest level… Celtic do need centre backs and he would be a cheap option 

That would be awesome 

Ange wants to sign an Aussie? Well fuck me.

I never quite remembered him as a “ gun “ at either Dundee United or Melbourne City.

A lot of people against it for then financial reasons etc and I understand it, yet I find the new Conference League a novelty from a footballing standpoint. Certainly some decent clubs in there already and clubs from everywhere except the EPL will give it it a shot.

The tourism opportunities and array of opponents will see it become just reward for those who did well in the league suffered at the hands of a tough qualification draw. 

Nah he needs to stay at city for another season

How so??  We need to be signing players who are better than what we currently have, and I don't see Curtis Good being the answer to our defensive problems.

I like the idea of it, like that of the Europa League it has more of an old school European Cup feel with teams representing a broader Europe. Compared to the almost closed league that is the Champions League which barely represents Europe as a whole anymore.

Unfortunately the money on offer in the Champions League is so huge that it is almost the life blood for the second tier teams - those teams fighting to sit at the table with the elite teams just to get some of the pie that gets leftover, even though they know they have next to no chance of winner anything. 

I meant from Australian football perspective (after all this is an Australian football forum). However regarding from a celtic standpoint he's better than welsh, Ralston or Hendry. Ajer will be leaving too 

So why do we have a EURO’s thread then ?

Hendry is no longer at the San Giro. If  you know your history and all that.

Gotta explain "San Giro" please........ I havent heard that one. 🙏Is it an Ange souvlaki thing? Lol

I'll have to agree to disagree.  (1) If he is the answer to our defensive issues than we are in trouble. (2) If he does get signed (which I will be surprised if true) I cannae see him being the only signing, and would more then likely be used as a backup which wouldn't be seen as good news from Australia point of view, especially on an Australian forum. 

"Giro" is the term for unemployment payments in the UK. It is used to describe Celtic fans by rival club(s) fans in Scotland claiming that we are all unemployed neds.

It seems like 'Sutherlandbear' is on a mission to use as many of the "opposition nicknames" as possible 😲😄

Though I do like your spin on the use of the term 😉😊

Thanks for the insight, I hadn't heard that one :)' I do prefer my version though.... lol 

Oi or ella, for the skips jumping on the Hoops from this season - its "get your hot doggies" thing no, souvla just isn't their thing, little do they know how damn good it tastes.

I'm gonna really enjoy posts in here ALeaguer's keeping their eyes on Hoops turning into eurosnobs as called.

Poor BB, having to become educator and in the meantime fend off and counter the BEAR lol.....

This is gonna be good roll on the season and YNWA :)

🤔Hmmm, I guess if a team (I'll let you all work out who - don't want spoilers 😲🤫) can remove some food (say "Eggs Benedict") from their menu's back about 2005-ish (around the time of a certain pope's accession), then surely a Club could make a wee change to their menu in honour of their new manager?? It may even help a certain Greek goalkeeper become "world class" 🤔😁

It's going to be something - What I'm not entirely sure of just yet 😕😬

Hahahah Im so proud of myself that I GOT this one ...... Ive even started calling my son "Bhoyo" .... Eurosnob superstardom here I come .... hahahahahahahahah

First  pre-season match against Sheffield Wednesday at midnight, a 3 x 30 minute half match in Wales. Come and join me on Celtic tv and watch the Ange era begin.

I would suggest you try the Kerrydale street forum a bit more sophisticated and way less Aussies talking pish.

Luongo starting against Celtic. Talk about Ange seeing a favourite son.

All about fitness and tactics for now but the clock is ticking to be ready for CL soon.
