They go hand in hand really, if we're not good enough domestically to beat Aberdeen then we won't be making the later stages of the EL. I thought we were close to taking something off Bayern but froze at home to Anderlecht. A better defence and more pragmatic approach and I think we can expect 3rd again this year, if we make the CL, then there are some teams I'd love to see us draw in the EL. Couple of big performances and a friendly draw and we could see the later stages of the EL. BR will have 3 more bites of the cherry anyway. |

Fantasy 'Would You Rather' aside, I'd be happy enough if we got a 3rd place CL finish again or, failing that, a decent post-Christmas tilt at the Europa League. |

Qualify for group stages. Don't get humped silly in any game, and win a couple. Win a Europa Cup fixture. That's what "progress" looks like, and some folk are questioning whether that would be more important than ten in a row? Just naw. 10 in a row is the main goal for me now. Obviously the team putting up a good show in Europe should go hand in hand, but it's the 10 that really matters. |

Nah. The 10 is the be all and end all for the next few years. I'd sacrifice some cups for proper progress in Europe, but the 10 is by far the most important thing right now. |

Good reading that. He's already a legend and it's hard to argue against him being second only to Jock Stein if and when the 10 happens. Hopefully another barrowload a cups will come our way too and progress in Europe. He's 100% the right man at the right time. I think though, that every manager who walked through the door post-2005 has MON to thank. He took on the hun when it was at it's most obscene, living the high life on stolen cash after shooting Scottish football in the back, and bragging about it in a crescendo of 'self-made millionaire' golf clubhouse winkery. MON walked in, shut them up and took everything they had. They never recovered. Brendan is the right man to keep watch for their bony hand reaching up through the dirt. |

In general Continental competition is the yard stick that clubs are measured by. Do we simply want to be comparing ourselves only to them in the SPFL pissing contest? We've only won a single European title in our history, even a Europa League title would be huge regardless of how folk try to play down participation in it since we won the mythical Last 16 Cup Don't get me wrong if/when we achieve 10, I will party like the rest of us, however I'd still take a European trophy first if you told me we would definitely do one by sacrificing the other |

Crazy to think... that this season coming, we could potentially win the treble treble. ![]() Meaning: 8 in a row 50 league championships 3 SC wins in a row and the first team in Europe to do a treble treble. This year could be our most historic since 67'. |
