Originally published at: How tonight's Europa League results affect Celtic qualification hopes
Former Celtic man Jeremie Frimpong conceded a penalty as Real Betis drew 1-1 with Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League. In a decision that seemed pretty harsh on the former Bhoys defender, Betis striker Borja Iglesias took advantage. VAR had the final say, and it’s a result that maybe – just maybe – helps Celtic…

Cant see it Euan …think that result blows it for us .
I was hoping Leverkusen would hammer Betis like they did us …
That way it would have been us against Betis at home winner takes all…
However our goal diff is shocking so dont get the ‘draw is what we wanted?’

Yeah, I don’t see how the draw is good for us either. It leaves us needing to pick up a point in Germany, as you would expect Betis to win at home against Ferencvaros. We will also have to beat Betis by two goals or by one goal as long as we concede less than three.
With a full.squad and the momentum.from winning games we can take points off both, Julien fit, Juranovic and Ralston at the back, Kyogo, Jota and Abada up top, it’s not inconcievable. Against the germans we.need a massive shift in play but against betis I wouldn’t rule it out.
Yep but we are always grasping at straws and not really getting a break…
Look at the HUNS 2 losses 2-0 same as us only one point down on 2nd place because the top team is doing what I hoped BL would do …
I agree not inconceivable but HIGHLY unlikely …
