In my head, Celtic began the season in the Champions League qualifiers.
Fucked it up big time.
Got a consolation, a place in the Europa league.
Fucked it up bigtime.
Now they are out of this tonight, but get yet another consolation, a place in the Europa Conference!!
WTF???
It really does stink.
Once out of a competition that should be that.

I don't think this is a Celtic story, they are just following the rules.

I’m still not sure what the Europa Conference is. Does it have an equivalent in old money?

Kudos to Celtic, they have obviously worked very hard to get out of European competition, but the powers that be just won't let them go  |

Not long before they are in the Staffordshire County League Cup then Its something that been getting to me for years, the shit got knocked out of the champions league a few years ago, got a place in the Europa league, it stinks, as you say lancs senior cup( they can't do the staffs although I'm sure they'd try🤔) in the the end to make sure they win something. |

I don't think this is a Celtic story, they are just following the rules. Some seem to have a Celtic obsession on here. Not the first team to have similar happen. Rules are clearly there for all teams as you say |

True. It answers the question to a degree though regarding Celtic being able to cut it in the Prem. They’d be fighting relegation I reckon. |

Of course they would as they currently are . In fact I doubt would make it out of the Championship first try but an enormous club and would soon adapt. |

Isn’t that approach a bit flawed considering the whole point of the Europa is it’s a competition for the teams that didn’t quite finish in the top places? It’s basically the “second chance” competition. |

In fact I doubt would make it out of the Championship first try but an enormous club and would soon adapt. That they are. But then other clubs (Sunderland etc.) are too big to be in the doldrums. I guess Celtic are much bigger and would attract investment. |
