game stands out.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">Its the one where the teams were level with six minutes to go, and Dallas gave not one, but two penalties to the Ibrox side &#8230;presumably to get back in their good books.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">If his ego is anywhere near the size of his fathers, and his desire to please the hordes on a similar level, then we can confidently predict who will make the headlines on Sunday.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">We cannot expect the club to comment on this appointment, but they should. If, or more likely when, he makes an honest mistake or two on Sunday, any comment will sound like sour grapes.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">Something like..<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>Celtic FC are a little surprised that a referee such as Andrew Dallas has been appointed to a major cup final. This is because he&#8217;s a talentless twat whose dad was sacked for sending sectarian emails. We would suggest that someone who understands the rules and knows how to apply them be appointed instead. Anyone else, in fact. Even Bobby fucking Madden.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">But we&#8217;ll worry about that on Sunday.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">Rosenberg away is tomorrow night-tomorrow teatime , in fact, and the nerves are already jangling.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">Whilst the papers are reporting that the Norwegians are no longer interested in this particular tournament, they&#8217;ve won their league and have a cup final to prepare for, there is also a slim, very slim, chance , that they could still progress&#8230;<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\u00a0The rules are quite complex when it comes to tied teams in the Europa League, and we are once again grateful to Moravcik 67 for explaining the possible scenarios&#8230;<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>Ahead of the game in Norway on Thursday, here are some tweets about the possible permutations of who qualifies from our group. Reminder. All 4 teams can still qualify or be knocked out. Obviously, Rosenborg qualifying and Salzburg going out are less likely.<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>\u00a0Before I start. Yes I agree that beating Rosenborg is the only thing that matters right now. But there has been a lot of talk about Salzburg lying down to Leipzig. And there&#8217;s still a misunderstanding about what happens if the 3 teams finish tied on 12pts.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>There are 5 possible scenarios<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em> a) Celtic finish ahead of Leipzig on points<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em> b) Leipzig finish ahead of Celtic on points <\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>c) (Only) Celtic and Leipzig finish tied on points <\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>d) Celtic, Leipzig and Salzburg finish tied on 12pts<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em> e) Celtic, Leipzig and Rosenborg finish tied on 6pts<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em> I&#8217;ll run through them in order<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em> a) Straightforward. Celtic &amp; Salzburg progress. We could top the group on the head to head with 2 Celtic wins, 2 Salzburg losses, and if Leipzig drop points to Rosenborg. But the most likely outcome in this scenario is Salzburg top.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em> b) Again straightforward. Leipzig progress with Salzburg. As with scenario a) Salzburg are more likely to top the group. But Leipzig could on head to head, with the right results. <\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>c) A 2-way Celtic\/Leipzig tie. Leipzig go through on head to head, Salzburg top the group\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>d) This is where there are misconceptions. A 3-way tie of Celtic, Leipzig &amp; Salzburg can only happen if Celtic &amp; Leipzig win both games and join Salzburg on 12pts In this scenario, the normal 2-way head to head rules won&#8217;t apply. Beating Salzburg 2-0 won&#8217;t put us through.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>7. If d) does happen it goes to a 3 way head to head &#8211; a new league table is drawn using results from the games between those 3 teams only. Any results v Rosenborg are ignored. See attached pic for the order of tiebreakers. Note: Leipzig will definitely qualify in this scenario\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/Ds84oAjWkAI584a.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>The 1st tiebreaker is points. This doesn&#8217;t help. All 3 teams have beaten the others, and lost to the others. So we&#8217;d all be tied on 6pts. The 2nd tiebreaker is goal difference in games between the 3 teams. Currently that stands at Salzburg +3 GD<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em> Leipzig 0 GD <\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>Celtic -3 GD\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>But as Salzburg would have to lose v Leipzig for it to happen, going into the final game the GD would be<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em> Salzburg +2 (at best) <\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>Leipzig +1 (at worst) <\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>Celtic -3 <\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>Clearly this doesn&#8217;t look to good for us, should we need to beat Salzburg to go through.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>Basically, the more Leipzig beat Salzburg by in this scenario, the less Celtic need to beat Salzburg by to go through. If Leipzig beat Salzburg by 1, we&#8217;d need to beat them by 3 to knock them out. We&#8217;d need Leipzig to win by 5 for us to only need a 1-0 win in the last game.<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>The 3rd tiebreaker is goals scored in games between the teams. In reality, Celtic can&#8217;t win on this rule. Current goals Salzburg 6 Leipzig 5 Celtic 3 To match Salzburg we&#8217;d need to score at least 3 more than them in the last game. If we do that we beat them on GD, not goals<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>Finally,<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em> e). This would require Celtic &amp; Leipzig losing both their last games. There is no permutation in this scenario that could see Celtic qualify. Again, it would go to GD between the 3 teams. Currently Leipzig 3 GD Celtic 0 GD Rosenborg -3 GD\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>As we would lose to Rosenborg, we would end up, at best, on -1GD. Whatever happens in the Rosenborg v Leipzig match, one of them would always have a better GD than us. This is by far the least likely scenario, though.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>Anyway, enough gibberish. One last point, in among all the talk of teams lying down. <\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><strong><em>Qualification is in our own hands. We don&#8217;t have to rely on anyone else. <\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><strong><em>True, it might involve having to beat Salzburg by 3 goals, but it&#8217;s still in our own hands.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">Which is all we can ask for really, and after the succesive defeats to Salzburg and Liepzig, its as good as we could have hoped for.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">None of the above matters , though, if we don&#8217;t beat Rosenberg.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">Their manager said..<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>&#8220;We have to seriously consider the Cup Final, which is just a few days after we play Celtic.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<p><em>It&#8217;s possible that some players will be rested for the Europa League match.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It will be very difficult to pick two full strength teams against both Celtic and Stromsgodset.

They\u2019ll want to put on some sort of performance at home, but it\u2019s not new for us. It\u2019s a lovely stadium, we\u2019ll travel well and the hotel really looks after us. Thankfully the pitch is perfect so we\u2019ll really push to get the result.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Relaxed, and confident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">What is worth noting, regardless of who the Rosenberg boss picks, their players will have one eye on the cup final, and a high intensity robust approach from Celtic, from the off, will affect their desire to ,er, compete enthusiastically.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">Piece of piss this management lark.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">However,whether or not we think they will approach this game at one hundred per cent doesn&#8217;t matter, its about what we do. On the night.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">I&#8217;m confident a morale boosting win is achievable, but in all honesty i don&#8217;t care if we score early doors and then spend eighty minutes booting the ball into the stand.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">We need the win&#8230;<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">And thats the bottom line.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">Theres no doubt the players are taking things seriously, they&#8217;ve cancelled their christmas night out in order to concentrate on a hectic and crucial month of football.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">They have to be commended for showing that kind of focus.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">One player who won&#8217;t feature in Norway is Scott Bain.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">He&#8217;s being saved for the Hampden showdown which means we have two good goalkeepers who are both getting games and both therefore familiar with the defenders. Bain has featured in all the League cup games so far, and thoroughly deserves his chance to win a medal. looking at the bigger picture, it is indicative that the manager is aware of the size of his squad, and is doing what he can to keep them all happy.<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\">Elsewhere, and the police assault designed to assert their credibility before the Janefield report is published became a little more sinister yesterday when <em>Celtic Research<\/em> looked into the details of those documents that the Record got their hands on, which led to claims that Celtic fans caused the &#8220;rangers &#8221; fans to riot&#8230;<\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-container\"><em>Within the FOI request which Police Scotland has released on the Janefield Street Crush, there really are some staggering insights into the operation and mindset of our police.
