Dream on fool. Celtic got lucky last year and will not get through the group stages next season in my opinion. Hopefully Liverpool get the same type of group last year although i would like someone like Porto or Sporting who would be entertaining to play against.

I prefer to have a tough team in our group, because we will easily qualify then we will have a easier second round tie. Man Utd have a great chance next year, as do Chelsea. One of them will win it. Inter and Barca have a great chance aswell. Never rule out Liverpool, AC and Madrid. Celtic...well...I doubt they will get through the group stage.

Artur Boruc

To be honest LFC we are getting alot stonger so I think we will succeed in the group stages and do well in the last 16 which I still dont think we can get through unless its against an English team.
