Considering the stick that emilio izaguire has taken over the last few weeks about defending thought he was outstanding tonight. Any idea of the teams we can get in the next round ed?

{Ed007's Note - It looks like it's out of Astana, Dinamo Zagreb, Malmo, Partizan Belgrade or Skenderbeau.}

Emilio was good today, a few wee mistakes but strong and read the game well. Very wearisome performance going forward tho. It seems we hoped the long balls would cause them more trouble and then just sat back when they didn't seem to ruffle.

Thanks for the details on the other teams Ed007.

{Ed007's Note - (yes)

Zagreb the team to avoid, they gave us a good game last year and like us are a team full of young improving players (wouldn't mind signing Pjaca!)

Despite being the closest geographically I would like to avoid Malmo too. Putting Salzburg out 2 years in a row is some going!

Any of the other 3 would be nice.

Ed in the play off round are the seeds guaranteed to be at home in the second leg?

Don't fancy Malmo now after that result!

Maccabi Tel Aviv scored a couple of late goals to change the outlook of the draw. Malmo, Skenderbeu, Tel Aviv, Partizan and Astana now the potential opponents. Malmo the only team who could worry us I think. Skenderbeu would be ideal

{Ed007's Note - Good man (yes)

Thanks ed

Personally would like to avoid Malmö and Zagreb think they could be very tough ties as can the other 3 but think we have more chance with these Astana a bit of a trip again though.

Zagreb almost lost their homegame against Molde and where lucky to beat them on a away goal. Molde missed two penalties besides a lot of chances, meanwhile Zagreb scored on all three of their chances in the away game 3-3.
Molde is of course also like Malmø in their best form of the season and Zagreb is not, so they are on equal terms with Celtic.

But isn't Zagreb seeded the same as Celtic?
