2-2 now, and Regan Hendry just missed a penalty for Celtic at 2-1.
His older brother Taylor used to play for Hibs

Young Celtic defender Anthony Ralston starting tonight.

I've not got any great affection for Celtic, in fact I cannae stand them, however as this is a real problem position for Scotland it could be good if he makes the break through.

Have we checked he considers himself Scottish?

Wikipedia says Scottish but with Celtic there's every chance he could want to be Irish.

Just seen on twitter he's a full back, not such a problem position for Scotland after all then, I thought he was a centre half, don't really care how he does now.

We're desperately in need of a few decent centre halves coming through the national side. It's all well and good having the likes of Robertson, Tierney, Armstrong etc. but the core of our defence will struggle against any half decent forward line

[DH1875]

Been in Glasgow city centre all day and its peeing down. Met a fair few PSG fans and plenty of them about. Only problem is, they don't half seem like dicks. Maybe the language barrier but have to say that anytime I've been to Paris I've not been impressed with the Parisians either.

I know, if we had two centre halves the standard of our left backs we'd qualify for a tournament comfortably.

Saying that, I wonder if this Ralston guy breaks through at right back Tierney could maybe play in the centre? Has he played there for Celtic?

Reminds me of us in the mid-late 90s when we were blessed with probably two world class players and they both played in goals. Typical of our luck.

Centre half is a massive issue. Maybe the decent Souttar will step up. The over rated ***** that comes with John gets my goat as much as their keeper being in the squad. Off topic but what happened to Andy Shinnie?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Man United v Basel for me, though I will be flicking over to the Celtc match, which should be a cracker.

I see Celtc are around 10/1 tonight. That doesn't happen often for a home game for them!

[Firestarter]

Bt sport 1 have a brilliant in play programme. I'll be watching Celtic get pumped followed by the highlights avoiding the scores on bt2. Great coverage they provide.

[IanM]

Can't see the betting thread but Sheffield Wednesday 21/20 at home to winless brentford. huge.. fingers burnt so I feel mind

I've had BT sport for a number of years now and I must admit I love their coverage. It's not perfect but they're definitely trying

[Hibernia&Alba]

Basel have parked the bus early on, but you can't blame them for that.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Am I only one who hopes celtic do well tonight?

No. For the simple reason that PSG are another relitavley small club in European terms tarnished by billions buying their way to the Champions league. Hope Celtic stuff them.

[SJNB Hibby]

Am I only one who hopes celtic do well tonight?

I dont see any advantage to them losing---they could earn 100 million from the Champions League and we'd be no further from winning the league
Wasnt that long ago we had two teams in the Group stages, and with Rangers no longer guaranteed one of the top two places, we could get ourselves a nice wee money spinning run if the coefficient goes up

I've not seen anyone in that position that has impressed me as much as Ryan Porteous. From the brief few pre-season and League Cup games I saw of him, I think he has bucketloads of potential, and might be the centre half Scotland have been crying out for for some time.

We really need to be getting him some game time this season.

If he's not going to get it with us, we could do with sending him out on an emergency loan for a month here or there (I'm aware he's much needed for cover right now with McGregor and Fontaine out).

Except it's not about just the league, wouldn't be very exciting if they won every single domestic Scottish trophy on offer for an extended period would it.

[hibee_girl]

That's it, Neymar scores.

That's really poor refereeing. Great finish though.

I thought they'd do alright at Celtic park against PSG and Bayern, they'll need to pray to every god possible to survive in Paris and Munich.

[Hibby Bairn]

It's actually boring to watch. Great team PSG but no contest. Will end up at least 5-0. Football is done at this level.

[Carheenlea]

Often start out kind of half rooting for Celtic on these occasions, but when they go a couple down the mindset changes to hoping they get absolutely hosed by about 6 or 7.

[Hibernia&Alba]

You're right. Only half a dozen or so sides actually have a chance of winning the trophy; for the rest it's about banking the money. PSG are in the first category; Celtic the latter.

I've switched over to the Man U game, Celtic game was getting too embarrassing to watch, PSG still in 2nd gear and toying with then, just shows the levels of other football leagues when Celtic are so far ahead in ours and they're being made to look so poor by PSG.

[Pete]

Cue more chat about how the diddy teams, like Hearts, Aberdeen and ourselves are holding back the Glasgow giants and preventing them from competing at this level.

This is our fault for not being strong enough.

I hope they don't get absolutely crushed.

It makes the rest of us look pretty poor.

Yep and Chelski are also on, 2-0 up, too many good games on tonight, I'll see all the goals later tonight on the highlight show.

[Hibernia&Alba]

The chasm between PSG and Celtic is akin to the gap between Celtic and Hamilton Accies. When a club can spend £350 million for two new attackers, there's little hope for teams like Celtic. That's just the reality of the football financial food chain.

[one day maybe...]

If it was a true champions league, only champions in it, straight knock out, it might be more interesting..
I can't be arsed with this any more and haven't watched a final in years.. football is dead 💀

Poor in comparison to the clubs who have multi-million pound players at their disposal.
Hibs are far from being a poor club.

[yonder1875]

Neymar was bang out of order with young Ralston at the end there. 18 year old playing against a global superstar and he refuses to shake his hand after the game, what goes on in the game is the game and should be forgotten about at FT.

When it comes to Old Firm in Europe I want them to win (for the sake of Scottish football) but if they lose I want it to be an absolute horsing - so we'll done PSG.

They frequently caught the Celts napping in possession and quickly passed it off to a teammate. I think Hibs could learn from that and I hope our guys were watching. I don't see any reason why Hibs can't be as fit and fast as PSG if not perhaps as skillful. We can at least try.

Hope they do well, a team that always invest in young talent, interesting to see how they cope without Dembele.

[hibsbollah]

What are Liverpool all about?

World class going forward, pub team at the back.

Absolutely fascinating to watch, as long as you don't support them.

I love watching Salah, what a player.

Very good game, with 2 decent sides :agree:.

[blackpoolhibs]

Listening to Glen Hoddles waffle about how Kane's goal was superb by the striker, and Son's goal was down to bad goalkeeping. :rolleyes:

I just turn the sound off, in case he starts with the 'disabled are to blame for sin's in their past lives' chat. Utter ****er.

[Is It On....]

As someone who get hit in the face with an orange Mitre at point blank range as a 13yr old...that Dortmund player is "at it"!!

[blackpoolhibs]

How the hell can the linesman give that offside, should be 2-2 at Wembley. :confused:

What a finish from Aubameyang, yard onside.

[blackpoolhibs]

3-1 Kane.

[yonder1875]

Stinker from the linesman, probably spoilt a decent game.

The other linesman missed the offside in the lead up to Dortmund's equaliser too.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Huge lucky break for Spurs. Should be 2-2 then they make it 3-1.

[Hibernia&Alba]

City 4-0 ahead in Holland.

[yonder1875]

About 20 passes before the eventual goal, aye.

[Pete]

Poor Liverpool concede an equaliser while City look every inch the main English threat.

[Pete]

Coutinho wants a game.

City have been excellent

[Mantis Toboggan]

Liverpool's centre backs do not look convincing at all. They look good going forward though could easily have had more goals here.
The sevilla manager getting sent off is my highlight so far. Fantastically childish.

[Pete]

City have been excellent

Not really sure what they're up against though.

It will only get really interesting when the big boys start facing each other in the knock out stages.

[blackpoolhibs]

I dont think they'd have scored that goal if Spurs got a free kick they should have been awarded.

Three cheers for state-sponsored financial doping :rolleyes: :greengrin

The only thing that might be their undoing is the defence, when it's really tested, but going forward they are deadly.

Even their defenders are better strikers than they are defenders.

Never mind that, what about energy drink related financial doping.

I actually thought Red Bull were Lokomotiv or someone who had history but simply changed their identity. I didn't realise they were only formed 8 years ago. I know they don't deserve the stick (sometimes violence) they get from other fans but it all seems a bit wierd.

It's hard to root for any of these teams really unless you're a long time fan.
The football is good at least.

They bought a team in the fifth division and changed the name.
I agree that they don't deserve the level of stick at all. How much do Adidas give Bayern every year?

Gotta have an out group to pick on it seems.
I actually know a couple of season ticket holders at RB Leipzig. Decent guys. Maybe they should have been armchair Bayern fans and waited 40 years until they were in their 80's before deciding to follow their local team.

Good point, but I'd be interested to know of the arrangement that seems to not anger German fan groups in the connection between chemical giant Bayer and Leverkusen. I'm not sure being a local employee makes a difference from an international sponsor in the great scheme of things.

There's a long tradition of local businesses or lads-made-good investing in their hometown team. STF is a good example - albeit his motives were more altruistic than most.

Football is becoming dominated by global brands (such as the sky blue franchise formally known as Man Citeh) and losing a lot of unpredictability and fun as a result.

I tend to agree on that but Bayer are a global brand and to many are a lot more despicable than an energy drink brand. As it is a local and traditional works team, it is culturally acceptable. I think German fans are being a bit parochial and hypocritical, although I'm not keen on the global buy outs either.

It's swings and roundabouts when you get a Man City/Chelsea/PSG type takeover. The fans get to experience things they would otherwise very likely miss out on, but, at the same time, they have to accept the glory hunters and consider the consequences if the owners sell up. Would I welcome it at Hibs? Probably, yes, but there would always be the nagging doubt it could all come to a terrible end. The English clubs at least have the huge TV money, should the foreign owners move on, whereas PSG could find themselves completely screwed.
