Looks like we've got Europa League reprieve

http://videocelts.com/2011/08/blogs/sepp-blatter-hits-back-at-sion-president?

Sepp Blatter has entered into the controversy about Sion fielding ineligible players. I can't see how Sion can be allowed to continue in the tournament and can't figure out what they were thinking about when they insisted on fielding ineligible players.

So it looks like Celtic will be playing Europa League football this season after all. With a couple of decent signings and shifting out some deadwood hopefully Lenny and The Bhoys will make the most of what looks like a second chance.

i hope so mate,not often in life ye get second chances but i'd definitely welcome this if it happens.we stand to make 4 million from the group games alone no matter what,which i'd imagine will come in quite handy,plus gate receipts etc but more importantly were up against real quality teams and won't be expected to do much so we have nothing to lose.If these reported deals go through(sammy,maloney out) (bangura and diawara in) we'll be much stronger in an attacking sense,fingers crossed we can get these deals done and uefa kick sion out.Interesting couple of days ahead

Athletico,Rennes and Udinese!!!!!


I see this as a good thing. They are three teams who under different circumstances could quite easily be in the CL.

I would rather have glamour games than play ties against East European teams we know nothing about. Plus think of all that extra revenue from televised games, merchandise etc.

It's a win, win for me
