FEW if any Hoops supporters will be seriously considering the possibility that Celtic can reach the Europa League Final in Warsaw next May. Boli Bolingoli gave his prediction at the weekend, saying he reckons we can get to the semi-final. When we posted that article on social media, one of the comments dryly noted that ‘we’ll be lucky to get out of the group stages”.
You have to admire Bolingoli’s enthusiasm, especially as he sat there and watched Celtic shoot themselves in the foot against Cluj to exit the Champions League last month on a night when we seemed to discovered a new way to make a complete balls up in European competition.
Christopher Jullien took a knock to the head at Hamilton on Saturday and now he’s busy talking complete bollocks, absolute Colin Nish. He doesn’t reckon that Celtic will go as far as the semi-final, no he thinks we can go even further, all the way to Poland!
“Yes, I believe we can, absolutely,” the £7million summer signing from Toulouse told the media yesterday as reported by Scottish Sun.
“Since I arrived here I have seen that all the players constantly have trophies on their minds.
“They want to win at everything, even in training, and this is important for our team.
“That gives us hope and we will see what happens. We will take it all game by game and see what it is, but if you were to go into the locker room right now and ask each of them what their goal was they would tell you it is to bring that trophy home. And I’m just following them!
“I think the same way as them. Everything I do is geared to winning and I hope we can go on and do something really special in this competition.
“We don’t know what will happen. It’s game by game and we’ll see. In our heads we think of trophies. This is the way we should think.”
“We’ll take it game by game and see what it is,” Jullien said.
