Celtic vs. KR Reykjavik is on Premier Sports 1 tonight.

[FestiveJack]

Celtic, out of the Champions League after a 2-1 loss to Ferencvárosi TC of Hungary.

[Colly]

Any excuse to post this. I was there that night but don't remember the music.

Unlucky @Kaney

[Kaney]

Lennon always seems to get his tactics all wrong in Europe. Oh well.

[Gazz]

It's probably because your domestic tactics are 'turn up and win'.

[Lineker]

The best part of it is that the Hungarian team are managed by noted Spurs flop Sergei Rebrov.

They also have Adam Bogdan in goal, and also play David Grof, most notable for making zero appearances in a season at Notts County during their mysterious foreign owner phase.

Hope they give Cantona another award so he can give another speech.

Krasnodar sounds like a place Tolkien would place a bunch of goblins and call "dark and shadowy".
