Been at two incredible draws.

Killie 3 - 3 Celtic

Cruising at half time, we totally blew the second half. Didn't help that we had Jakkola in goal rather than Bell.

Newcastle 4 - 4 Arsenal

I've never heard a stadium go so mental at the final whistle.

Celtic,

That's what it feels like.

Yeah, I suppose only putting one past Ross County was hard to take.

Celtic are so dominant in Scotland that it has made them a weaker team than they should be. They don't have to defend most weeks so they have forgotten how to do it, and games where you spend 75% of the match pinned in your own half and rely on quick counter attacks to score are alien to them. Unless the overall standard in Scotland improves they will never do well in Europe.

Partly true, but you also have to factor in that Rodgers is a stubborn fool who refuses to alter his tactics despite claiming to have learned lessons from previous thrashings. He didn't even have a defender on the bench last night.

He has believed his own hype for way, way too long.

What do you mean by that? The standard in Scotland wasn't much better when Celtic beat Barcelona 5 years ago. Celtic must defend better against top teams - we'll still likely lose, but probably not by the same margins.

Also, the financial gap between the PSGs, Barcelonas etc is much greater now than it has been.

Was there the same hyperbole when Arsenal got beat 10-0 on aggregate by Bayern btw? Arsenal who are a lot closer financially to Bayern than Celtic are to PSG.

What's the aggregate score between your lot and PSG?
