The CEO needs to resign.


















Anyone want me to drop a 3,000 word article on the history of Celtic F.C in the transfer market, lift the mood a bit?



🏴🇩🇪 CELTIC'S DAUNTING TASK 🇩🇪🏴 (2 mins reading time) 🍀🏴 Celtic face a huge task as they aim to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit and reach the Champions League last 16 for the first time since 2013. It's live from the Allianz Arena on AMAZON PRIME, with an 8pm kick off. _____ History is against Celtic: ❌ Celtic haven’t overturned a first-leg defeat in Europe (excluding qualifiers) since 1992, when they lost 2-0 away to Köln 🇩🇪 only to then win 3-0 at Celtic Park. Since then, they’ve been eliminated in all nine knockout ties after losing the first leg. 1⃣ They have never progressed from a major knockout tie after losing the first leg at home (0/7). The only time they managed it in qualifiers was in 2009; Samaras' injury time winner saw Tony Mowbray's men beat Dynamo Moscow 🇷🇺 2-0 away after a 1-0 home defeat... 🇩🇪 Celtic have never won a European match in Germany after 15 attempts, with 3 draws and 12 losses - including the visit to Dortmund earlier in the season. 🇯🇵 Celtic will be reliant on the superhuman efforts of man of the moment Daizen Maeda, after he started on the bench at the weekend to give him a rare rest. He completed the most sprints in the competition last week (53) and he's consistently been in the top 2 every matchday... 4⃣ With four Champions League goals this season - the most by a Celtic player since Joe Craig in 1977 - Maeda could join club legends Stevie Chalmers, Willie Wallace, and Lou Macari on five goals in a single European Cup campaign. _____ Bayern Munich's imposing record: ✅ Since 2011, the Bavarians have progressed in 13/13 ties after winning the first leg. The last time they failed was in the 2011 UCL last 16 against Inter 🇮🇹; winning 1-0 in Italy before losing 3-2 at home. ❌ Bayern have never lost at home to a Scottish club and are unbeaten in their last 20 Champions League home games (since a 3-2 loss to PSG in 2021). 🏴 Bayern are unbeaten in 14 matches against Scottish sides, dating back to 1989. Their only three defeats to Scottish teams have all come in Scotland: 🔵 1972: 2-0 vs Rangers (Ibrox) 🔴 1983: 3-2 vs Aberdeen (Pittodrie) 💜 1989: 1-0 vs Hearts (Tynecastle) 🤕 Bayern could be without Harry Kane, who has 15 Champions League goals for the club, after suffering a facial injury in the weekend draw at Leverkusen. _____ Scotland’s Coefficient: 🧮 0.4 points on offer for a win, 0.2 for a draw (points awarded after 120 minutes if extra time is played; penalties don’t count). 🆙 Reaching the last 16 would earn an additional 0.3 bonus points; if Celtic did earn 0.7 points tonight we'd be only 0.1 behind Austria in 13th. 👏 We want everyone else in bold to lose and be eliminated this week, to give us an outside chance of reaching 12th.... 💰 Celtic have already secured €46m in UEFA prize money this season. Progressing past Bayern would add another €11m. A quarter-final spot (via a win over Atlético Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen) would be worth a further €12.5m... 🏴 Good luck, Celtic! They’ll need plenty of it to make Friday’s draw at 11am...
