We asked for your views on whether Celtic can make it past Stuttgart in their two-legged Europa League play-off next month.
Here’s what some of you said:
Andy: Celtic should be able to take on any side in the Europa League however I fear the current group of players are just not good enough. A home win is a must to have any chance in the second leg.

Paul: 23 years later Martin O’Neill gets to play Stuttgart again in Europe. You couldn’t make it up, wonderful.
Michael: Could it be written in the stars for O’Neill? Stuttgart, Porto, and then maybe Nottingham Forest in the quarter-finals? A few decent signings, players returning from injury and a good dose of luck could atone for the heartbreak of 2003? Dreams can come true.
Al: We beat them en route to Seville by 3-1 on aggregate and should be confident again. Slightly more challenging circumstances with the away leg second but we showed we can compete with anyone on our day with O’Neill at the helm. If we get another three solid signings including a marquee then why can we not compete for three trophies this season?

Adolphus: We need to strengthen the squad to have any chance of going further in the Europa League.
James: The dreamer in me wants us to go on and do well, especially as the remaining teams are around the sort of level we are usually at. The realist knows that any extra games will take their toll on a depleted and underpowered squad and risk completely unravelling our season and our chances of even coming close to Champions League football next season. We need people through the door, and we need them immediately.
