Domestic Priorities But Celtic Should Take Europa Conference League Seriously, Poll Finds

Celtic’s defeat to Bodo Glimt was met with a bit indifference from some quarters, who insist that winning the SPFL is the be all and end all this season. However, a poll conducted prior to the match found that the vast majority of supporters feel that the competition should be taken seriously.

There have also been suggestions that Ange Postecoglou should name a weakened team for the return leg, but the same poll asked whether or not reserves should be played in the tie to solely focus on domestic football.

The exact question was ‘Do you think Celtic should take the Europa Conference League seriously this season or play the reserves and solely focus on domestic football?’

In response, 84.9% of fans said that the Hoops should go all out to progress, while 15.1% held a different view.

Given those results, it would be interesting to see how last night’s match has impacted on beliefs.

  1. Don’t think that results in Europe won’t affect the league results. We lost and the huns beat the team who are 2nd in the Bundesliga.( a good enough reason for their woeful performance last night). They’re on a high now and players like Jack are back and in form. When he came on against us he ran the midfield. We however have been bad in the past 3 or 4 games and moral must be low. Bodo also showed others how to deal with Abada and worryingly Jota.

    • Celtic team have not been bad in the past 3 or 4 games. CELTIC are on the top of the league. The league is more important than that competition.
