Greatest night of my footballing life ?? What, beating a bunch that earlier in this season's competition knocked out BATE Borisov, the only team last season to beat Bayern Munich, the current reigning European Champions ?

ftfy



Anyway, just Barcelona, AC Milan, and Ajax to get past now. Piece of cake!

From шахтёр - miner apparently....

Anyone know what Shaktar means? I do, had to ask though and it's not very interesting, just wondered why so many FSU teams have the monicker...

It is something to do with the Soviet Mining Industry.

FC Shakhtar Donetsk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The club Shakhtar was originally formed in May 1936 and was initially named Stakhanovets, meaning "the participant of Stakhanovite movement," which derived from Aleksei Stakhanov, a coal-miner in the Donets basin and propaganda celebrity in 1935.

The All-Union coal mining society of Stakhanovite had changed its name in July 1946 to Shakhtyor.

It is also mentioned below as part of the Voluntary Sports Societies of the Soviet Union

Voluntary Sports Societies of the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beside those, there were also numerous other sport societies that preceded the above mentioned or were less represented such as Vympel (River transportation) and Moryak (Sea transportation) combined into Vodnik, Stakhanovets (Mining industry) changed into Shakhter, and others. There even was a society of DOSAAF which was a volunteer society in cooperation with the Army, Aviation, and Fleet (notice the combination of the last three letters).

Greatest night of my footballing life ?? What, beating a bunch of part timers of the standard of Albion Rovers ?

And Commons, 'Nobody will want to come here'. Aye Chris, only because Parkhead is a sh1thole. I can't see Morinho crapping his keks about your footballing ability.

C**ts, I hate both halves of the old firm !!

Coincidentally, Shakhter were knocked out by the same scoreline two years ago, by St Patrick's Athletic.

Going by all the reactions I thought Celtic had won the Champions League itself!

Oh well, wtf. They'll no doubt be meeting up again in the Europa League in a few weeks time.

For that to happen Celtic must avoid finishing bottom of their group.
