Why Celtic?

Why not Celtic?

Well truthfully i have RARELY played on countries besides England, only Lille OSC in France that one time. I'd like to experience what's it's like in Scotland, with us dominating and Rangers on 3rd division and all. My goals for the 1st season are:

- Winning the League
- Winning the League Cup
- Winning the Scottish Cup
- Reaching at least the quarter-finals of the Champions League

I think they're quite achievable with the squad i have.

Who am i?

The legendary Scottish goalkeeper Craig Gordon!

He's currently a free agent, so i might sign him also OR follow his developments on the club that he signs if it's not Celtic.

Next update will include squad overview!

Squad Overview

Goalkeepers :

Fraser Forster

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Admin/BkFill/Default_image_group/2010/8/5/1281011026038/Lukasz-Zaluska-006.jpg

Lukasz Zaluska

Fraser is quality, he should be called up soon to back up Joe Hart in my opinion. Lukasz will do for backup but he's probably going to be upset for not playing.

Potential Targets : Craig Gordon

Fullbacks:

Adam Matthews (RB)

Mikael Lustig (RB)

Emilio Izaguirre (LB)

Emilio is quality LB, he's probably wanted by other clubs but i will keep him at all cost. Joe is young, maybe getting an LB would be a good idea.

We have 2 good RBs, i might buy another just for the sake of it.

Potential Targets : Stephen Warnock, Stephen Kelly

Good squad overall, don't think you really need gordon, but then again you never know. one or two more midfielders may be useful but other then that it is a quality squad.

I had to reinstall the game because it kept crashing, the data was lost, but everything, besides the champions league groups are still the same.

Updates soon!

Id keep Brown cos hes quality but sell Samaras instead. Brown is like the heartbeat of Celtics midfield he breaks down attacks and then creates goalscoring chances

Fixtures

Qualifying Champions League Match

4 - 0 (agg.) vs. Apollon L.

I didn't play it and skipped it due to stupidity and i won't post goals just because i didn't watch it.

1 - 4

Victor Wanyama (21), Lassad Nouioui (24, 82), Charlie Mulgrew (75), Michael Higdon (66)

A good way to start off the Premier League!

2 - 3

Tony Watt (19), Giorgos Samaras (21), Gary Hooper (80), Steven Thompson (35), Paul McGowan (42)

Great comeback from a 2 - 2 draw by substitute Gary Hooper!

Champions League Playoff Leg 1

2 - 2 Club Brugge

Giorgos Samaras (59, 89), Hans van der Linden (68), Niki Zimling (83)

Considering we were facing a group with no players, i feel we should have done more.

2 - 0

Gary Hooper (30), Lassad Nouioui (82)

A great result! My strikers are doing great so far!

Champions League Playoff Leg 2

6 - 0 Club Brugge

Lassad Nouioui (8, 26), Tony Watt (12, 24), James Forrest (63), Aleksandar Lukovic (90)

Charlie Mulgrew (62)

Aleksandar's debut scored a goal and an assist for Tony, he's beginning to look like a great signing. And now at the expense of Club Brugge and Apollon L. we have advanced to the group stage!

3 - 2
