euan2020 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 2 hours ago, The White Ceelo said: Villareal finished 5th in Laliga last year, they spent 82 million in the summer apparently. Their owner owns Porcelanosa which in literally the whole town, he apparently is a 50% share holder in Mercadona, remind me who finished 5th in the EPL? Exactly getting a draw off some 5ht place team is no achievement which is why Aberdeen weren't running around after the game saying it was some great achievement getting a draw .......................................... how the mighty have fallen would you be bumping your gums as much if it was Wolfsburg or Lazio ?

Is everyone’s living room ceiling not painted white? 😕 It was a good result, and coming back twice to draw 2-2 is better than grinding out a 0-0 by parking the bus.

Far superior record than any Scottish club, as they're highly unlikely to even get a shot at the Champions League when you consider the teams they are up against. I've not checked but I'd bet there's more QF and SF appearances there than all of the Scottish clubs combined in the last 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) And I'd still be interested to know, when was the last Scottish side to equalise twice (and hold on) against opposition from a top league? By top league I mean Spain, Italy, Germany, England; those countries with the highest number of Champions League places - lots of strength in depth, OK because they have an unfair advantages of seeding and funding, Away from home, I should add. Or even at home. It must be relatively rare if there are no examples readily springing to mind? Edited September 24, 2018 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we equalised to make it 2-2 but not sure who scored first. Also came from 2-0 down to Marseille in the first CL group stage. At Ibrox, mind you.

I remember the Marseille game, memorable it was (is) - not by accident - and Marseille the eventual winners For Dortmund, was in 1995, I see both games drawn 2-2 (h&a). in home game, Rangers equalised twice, in away game, took lead and equalised at end. So, still over 20 years and counting for an away result equalising twice (or coming back from 2-0 down)...

slasher Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I'll be pleasantly surprised if we get anything tonight. Salzburg are one of the best sides I've seen at Celtic Park in recent seasons and will have too much for us. Rapid are a step down from their level though so I can see the huns getting something, maybe even sneaking the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan_McCole Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Aye, Salzburg have a pretty reasonable home record so I can't say I'm overly hopeful. Took a draw over there last time we played them with a poorer team mind so I suppose anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They passed us off the pitch at Parkhead. You never know though. If I was to wager on it it'd be a 3-0 home win but 😵 Edited October 4, 2018 by slasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
