STAND FREE WHEREVER YOU MAY BE - And you thought Celtic beating Barca was something!

Hoffenheim in the 3rd Qualifying round is just unfair. Some good transfer deals though.

We've been rediculously unlucky in the Europa Qualifyer drawing teams like Man Utd and Hoffenheim. Really annoying as i thought by the 3rd season we'd be set up to have a good run in Europe but oh well. Will be focusing on the league this season​

Two trick away games cost us 4 points and that what the swing at the top was as Celtic take over at the top

View attachment 286153


The young Spanish defender was always going to be good coming from Barca

 

Im happy enough as Fir park, Tyncastle and Tannadice is our two toughest away games. Would have probably looked for a win from one of those games and as you say that would have kept us top but never mind. December has a match against Celtic so we could claw our way back to the top, or fall further behind!
