Hopefully get Almaty at home. 
 

Credit to them for their determination and game plan, but ability-wise they’re miles off it.

 

Having said that I don’t think anyone at the club could be arsed with the chow on of having to play them away.

Celtic have 100m in the bank and have barely spent a penny this summer, probably thinking they would breeze through the qualifying tie and have now squandered the chance to bag 30-40m.

 

You reap what you sow.

I’ve been joking with my mates about Almaty qualifying and us getting them away first since before the 1st Quali round. In Almaty at the start of the month then Central Asia until 22nd. 🙏

Are Almaty the lowest ranked team to have ever made it to the CL proper? Fair play to them, they've well and truly earned this after getting through 3 rounds of qualifying against teams with far bigger budgets.

 

Celtic should be ashamed of themselves though, mainly for nearly putting me to sleep over the 2 legs. Brendan Rodgers is a complete fraud, his saving grace is that Rangers are utterly pathetic.

Lucky boy. Almaty is full of fanny and has some great beer. I imagine many of our Middle East-based fans would make the trip up there. An inexpensive 4 hour flight up from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha.

You’d think so. Screenshot their ranking from early June. Below Linfield.

Jee whizz, some of the names around them aren't even Conference League level. Amazing story for Almaty but that's galling for Celtic, heads should roll for that. 

 

After the friendly against them I was lead to believe that they'd finish in the top 7 of the PL

Their best young player is joining Chelsea next summer (shock), but he was suspended tonight after a booking last week. I watched the Celtic Park game and despite their ranking, I’m pretty sure they’re quite a bit better than some of those clubs around them in the ranking.

It was clear as day that Celtic underestimated and disrespected Almaty and thought they'd roll right over the top of then like they do with the dross in the SPFL. Fuck around and find out.
