    How come a Celtic defeat

    Is one of if not the greatest Scottish club results in Europe

    Dundee, Killie, Dunfermline, Aberdeen and the dabs would all have a claim for this title.

    Just had a look at the stats. Exactly what Celtic achieve every time they play a Scottish team, except Rangers. They will never get better until they find a way to play against better opposition every week. Maybe handicap them at the start of a game by only playing with 9 men? When they get 2 goals down they can bring them on to make 11.

    And Celtic have actually won the European Cup. At 1-0 the muppets in commentary were declaring this Celtic team were on the verge of greatness - for drawing over two legs with Bayern Munich.

    Scottish football clubs are already handicapped playing against Rangers and Celtic as the Scottish referees always give decisions in favour of Rangers and Celtic. This means that Rangers and Celtic effectively have an extra player on the pitch during every SPFL and domestic cup game they play in Scotland.
    It is a different story when they play Champions League and Europa League games where their reputation counts for nothing.

    These commentators have obviously not done their homework.
    I seem to remember that Raith Rovers were leading 1-0 at halftime against Bayern Munich in Germany back in 1995/96.
