Good choice by ITV to pick Celtic v Barcelona over Arsenal v Napoli or Steaua Bucharest v Chelsea.
Ratings are important, but maybe ITV want to cover a game in a stadium that has an atmosphere and passion, unlike the Emirates, and Parkhead on a Champions League night is the best in the world, and has been said so last season by the likes of Lionel Messi, Andrea Pirlo, even ex-Rangers men like Graham Souness and Ray Wilkins.
And you never know, there may well be a repeat of last season, and Celtic provide a shock result and prove that just because the rest of Scottish football is poor, Celtic are not a pub team as some say and can be, and are competitive in Europe.
They got out a group last year that no one said they could and done better than English Champions Man City and European Champions Chelsea, who really should have got out their group, let's be honest.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems that there is a lot of wishful thinking by bitter English fans for Celtic not to do well, just so the English teams look better than what they actually are, as proved last season when Celtic done better than City and Chelsea and got knocked out at the same stage as Man U and Arsenal.
Sorry if i've had a bit of a rant, but I feel it needed to be said.
I'm just glad Celtic got picked by ITV over Chelsea and Arsenal, for once.
