FORMER CELTIC MANAGER JOHN BARNES has told the media Celtic will need a miracle if they are to get out of their Champions League group into the last 16 of the competition.
The Englishman, who suffered a torrid time at Celtic Park back in the late 90s looks at his former club’s group and knows they have a massive task ahead.
If they can go any further, for me it’s a miracle, but I think they can win a couple of games, they can win a couple of games,” said the Liverpool Legend. If they can finish third and go into the Europa League then fine.
“If they can finish third and go into the Europa League then fine.”
Celtic have been handed a tough draw and nobody is under any illusion about the size of the task in front of us. This is what the fans and players live for though, the fact that on any given night, in the searing cauldron of Celtic Park, we are capable of making miraculous things happen.
John Barnes should know this, although he never really experienced the ferocity of the Celtic support during his tenure – well at least not from a positive standpoint.
We have a chance. Need to get everyone fit , until we do it has to be all out attack as that’s our strength
We would need the divine intervention if Barnes was in charge let alone a miracle!
Barnes was easily the worst ever Celtic manager. Maybe his perception comes from his own inability to motivate a team, and inspire a support. We wouldn’t have won the SPFL with him at the helm, never mind qualify for the Champion’s League.
WE CAN DO IT!! WE ARE CELTIC BRING IT!! HAIL HAIL
Hail hail
You’ve got a cheek John. Mon the hoops if I was Brendan Rogers I’d track his comments to the dressing room door
Tack**
And here’s a reminder. Ps all home grown players who lived a couple of miles from each other.

Everybody laugh at John Barnes!! Hahahahaha
John Barnes is possibly one of the worst managers we’ve ever had. He shouldn’t be allowed to comment on the current team lol
Yes john Barnes would know about it,under his tenure we .needed a fucking miracle to win a league game
Celtic managers – Barnes, Macari, Brady (the 3 worst ever) and Dalglish (the 4th worst ever).
The 1st three did NOTHING for Celtic, whilst Dalglish did very little.
This is merely my opinion.
Yeah, totally agree with you. Who is Barnes to comment about Celtic’s chances in the Champions league. He was a decent player but an absolute shit manager & not in a position to be respected for his opinion HH
Mowbray ?????
It’s ours to loose. We Can do this HH.
just sour grapes you and the english papers should stop critising the tic who first won the european cup in britain 67 . yous are always boasting about england 66 we humpted after it . england footie is boring canna beat us at any sport apart fae rugby ya tosssers .ti orch ar la .
Who cares what he thinks. The man who had the world laughing at our club when he was in charge now comes out with this crap. Just another who wants to undermine our achievements, sad John very sad. Hail Hail
Barnes was an absolute clown.
