The Celtic fans in the Transfer Tavern are watching their Champions League dreams dwindle, though the nature of the Hoops’ history in this competition means our drinkers will never stop hoping.
Next up for Brendan Rodgers’ side is the small visit of Barcelona, a first return to Glasgow for the Blaugrana since the Bhoys recorded perhaps their most famous result in this competition since 1966.
Still, the La Liga champions are seething since Manchester City tore them apart at the Etihad and now face a battle to win the group.
Though the SPFL titans proved against City just how dangerous Parkhead can be on a European night, there’s little doubt the Catalan juggernauts will take some stopping.
Now, a certain Mr. Lionel Messi has warned Celtic that he and his illustrious side will be ‘ruthless’ upon their arrival in Glasgow on November 23rd.
“We don’t like to experience defeat, but what we do have to do is move on quickly”, said the Argentine superstar (quotes sourced by the Daily Record.)
“To finish top of the group is still in our own hands – if we win the remaining two games we will still win the group – and that has always been our objective.
“Our next game against Celtic is an important one – and we must be ruthless.”
Do Celtic have any hope of keeping out Barcelona? Let us know below…
