Celtic fans all say the same thing after unfortunate Europa League draw pattern

Celtic fans can't believe their luck (or lack of) after the Europa League draw was made on Friday.

The Hoops were put in the same group as Milan, Sparta Prague and Lille.

Celtic were seeded in pot 1 after their 1-0 win over Sarajevo on Thursday night as Copenhagen, Basel, Sporting and Wolfsburg were all knocked out.

But it didn't prevent Neil Lennon's men from getting a tough group as they drew the second highest-rated team from each pot.

And supporters were rueing the unkind nature of the draw, but were looking forward to the big games they've got ahead of them.

@PurdyPurdy_ tweeted: "Pot 1 and that’s who we get. Wouldn’t mind if I could go."

@CelticFc_Core added: "Couldn't write it."

@Yankee1O570 tweeted: "This keeps happening to us.

@ConorHickey93 said: "Tough draw but some absolute belter games to look forward to! Just wish euro away days were still on the cards."

@craig31holland added: "Imagine getting into pot 1 and then drawing that from the other 3. Would've been better off in pot 4."
