Mr.Nice Guy

Good draw.

Tough ask for Celtic to qualify. Rangers with a decent shot, and Dembele up against them again should be good. I'd expect Leicester to advance and the tie with Napoli will be fun. West Ham with a handy draw. Group B and E should provide entertainment as well.

Mr.Nice Guy

Scales and McCarthy are on the bench for Celtic. It could be a tough night for Celtic as they don't seem to have a lot of depth. Betis have made changes but Fekir, Canales, Iglesias, Joaquin featuring.

Was hoping Randolph might get a start for West Ham but Moyes has named a fairly strong side.

Celtic lead 1-0 via Ajeti after a VAR review. Good start from them.

sligeach

You could hear some obnoxious ****** Real Betis supporter constantly laughing in the background when Celtic had their goal disallowed. He's not laughing now, as it's been overturned and given.

Mr.Nice Guy

Peno for Celtic now. Did look one to me in real time.

Yeah, that's stonewall. Poor from Claudio Bravo.

Good pen by Juranovic for 2-0. Celtic worthy of this lead. Didn't see this coming.

2-1 now. The LB Miranda gets Betis back in it.

Richard Hillman

How the hell did Celtic get away with having a green and white home Jersey, a green away jersey and a white third jersey? Knowing full well they will be playing Hibs, let alone the chance that they could play somebody with a green and white kit like Real Betis?

Mr.Nice Guy

2-2 now! How have Celtic blown the lead so quickly ffs.

3-2 Betis after 5 minutes of the second half. Iglesias from close range.

4-2 Betis a minute later. Juanmi gets a second with a nice shot in off the post. Celtic have imploded.

4-3 thanks to Ralston. Celtic with some hope for the final minutes.

Betis get the win in the end. Looking at the other results, West Ham have won 2-0 in Zagreb while Lazio fell to a 1-0 defeat at Galatasaray.

Looking forward to Leicester/Napoli and Rangers/Lyon in the evening games. Shame Dembele misses out on a trip to Ibrox.

Mr.Nice Guy

Leicester deservedly lead against Napoli via Perez's nice volley. Good ball by Barnes.

Lyon lead at Ibrox. Wonderful hit by Toko Ekambi from outside the box.

2-0 Lyon. Tavernier O.G. after a lot of pressure.

2-1 to Leicester. Osimhen with nice skill for his goal after Barnes had doubled Leicester's lead.

2-2. Osimhen with a great header. Pleased for him. The VM commentator was slagging him off in the first half, now talking about what a future he has.

Ndidi sent off in the final minutes.

This competition is often maligned but I was thoroughly entertained by the games I watched.

Mr.Nice Guy

Legia Warsaw have beaten Leicester 1-0. Warsaw missed good chances to make it 2 but it didn't matter in the end. Napoli surprisingly lost 3-2 at home to Spartak Moscow, so Napoli and Leicester are 3rd and 4th respectively. This group is suddenly looking very interesting.

Rangers beaten 1-0 by Sparta Prague and are bottom of their group.

Celtic vs Leverkusen coming up at 8 which could be good. Keen to see how Florian Wirtz fares as he's in very good form. Kyogo Furuhashi back for Celtic, as is Callum McGregor.

Mr.Nice Guy

Leverkusen lead 1-0 after a bad mistake by Turnbull. Can't do that with Bakker around. This is a really entertaining game so far.

2-0 Leverkusen and Wirtz gets on the scoresheet. Celtic in trouble now.

Galatasaray fans chucking fireworks at Marseille fans who are throwing them back. The game has been halted and Galatasaray coach Fatih Terim has gone over to the fans to appeal to them to stop.

3-0 Leverkusen. Alario from the penalty spot after a handball. Hard to see a way back now.

4-0 Leverkusen. Emphatic finish from Adli. Deserved win by the Bundesliga side but with better finishing Celtic might have made the margin closer. Hradecky made some good stops.

Some game in Moscow with Spartak going 2-0 up with Leicester just getting a goal before HT, now 3-2 to Leicester with 20 mins to go

~Rebel~

4 goals from Daka - some performance!

Mr.Nice Guy

Sobolev is a decent striker. I'd like to see him try his luck in one of the top 5 leagues.

Mr.Nice Guy

Caught the second half of PSV's game with Monaco which Monaco won 2-1 via Sofiane Diop's late goal. I was impressed with PSV's Cody Gakpo. PSV playing Ajax at the weekend but I can't see a legal way to watch it over here. Seems the Eredivisie rights weren't sold to a UK/Ireland provider.

Good win by West Ham over Genk. They seem to be enjoying their European experience.

Mr.Nice Guy

Sobolev with 2 more goals as Spartak beat Napoli 2-1. It means if Leicester beat Legia Warsaw tomorrow then they will go top of the table. If Spartak can get something in their final game away to Warsaw, it could come down to the Napoli/Leicester game to see which of those two qualify. That would be a fun decider.

Agent Coulson

West Ham 2 up at half time they really are making it look easy in Europe.

They could be a good bet to win the whole thing.

Mr.Nice Guy

Napoli XI: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Juan Jesús, Mário Rui; Demme, Zielinski, Elmas; Lozano, Petagna, Ounas.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Castagne, Evans, Söyüncü, Bertrand; Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall, Tielemans; Maddison, Barnes; Vardy.

Strong team from Leicester. This should be a good game. The permutations for this group:

Leicester will finish first if they win, or if both games are drawn. Leicester will finish second if they lose and the other game is drawn. Leicester cannot finish below third.

• Spartak will finish first if they win and Leicester do not. Spartak will finish second if both they and Leicester win, or if both games are drawn. Spartak will finish third if they draw and Napoli win or if both they and Napoli lose.

• Napoli will finish first if they win and Spartak do not. Napoli will finish second if both they and Spartak win. Napoli will finish third if both games are drawn, or if they lose and Legia do not win.

• Legia will finish second if they win. Legia will finish fourth if they do not win.

Mr.Nice Guy

Napoli with an early lead through Ounas. Nice finish.

2-0 Napoli via Elmas. Bertrand playing them on.

2-1. Evans with a quick reply from a set-piece.

2-2. Dewsbury-Hall with a lovely volley. Great game, this. Now Napoli heading into the Conference League as it stands.

3-2 Napoli as Elmas gets another. Poor defending by Leicester again.

Full-time and Leicester go out of the Europa League and fall into the Conference League. There should be big questions for Rodgers to answer here. Napoli missing Osimhen, Koulibaly, Ruiz and Insigne and they still couldn't get the job done. This was a group with a Russian and Polish side involved. How he is linked with the permanent United job I do not know.

Agent Coulson

Rodgers found out again in Europe.

He can't coach defence.

He can't do two games a week.

He can do great personal PR though.

Mr.Nice Guy

Nearly got through in jammy fashion via the other game. Legia Warsaw had a 98th minute pen. If it was scored, Leicester would have advanced. Keeper saved it.

Did you smash it

Mislav orsic scores an absolute worldie for Zagreb. Strange he never got a big move.

Mr.Nice Guy

Leipzig vs Sociedad. Looks tasty.

Barca vs Napoli. That is a great one.

Zenit vs Betis could be good.

Dortmund vs Rangers. Love it.

Porto vs Lazio. Interesting. Porto knocked out Juve from the CL last season.

Some good ties there.
