Forster Back In Europe!

05 September 2011 11:19
Toon goalkeeper Fraser Forster says he is "over the moon" Celtic have been reinstated in the Europa League. Celtic's play-off conquerors Sion were punished for fielding ineligible players against the Tims. Providing Sion do not succeed with an appeal, Neil Lennon's men will take the Swiss side's place in Group I, which includes Atletico Madrid, Udinese and Rennes. Celtic said in a statement that they were "pleased by this decision", and thanked the Scottish Football Association for their support. The Chilly Jockos have long memories, and according to Celtic legend Frank McGarvey, the verdict from UEFA's control and disciplinary body makes amends for a decision which went against the club 27 years ago. (For God's sake!!!) McGarvey claims Celtic were victims of "disgraceful" treatment in 1984 when they were embroiled in an European Cup Winners Cup clash with Rapid Vienna.
