sorry folks i missed all these results. Hopefully soon i can find a rythm and post them up. It keeps me right too.. How you all do?

All four British clubs are odds-on to make it through Champions League qualifying - with the acca on offer at 11/4.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Celtic all have one more hurdle to overcome to reach the lucrative group stages, while Rangers have two.

Liverpool have a testing tie against Toulouse, third in Ligue 1 last season, while Arsenal's first European clash since the departure of talismanic striker Thierry Henry will be a tough one too, against Czech side Sparta Prague.

Scottish champions Celtic face a tricky encounter with Spartak Moscow while SPL runners-up Rangers meet either 1991 European Cup winners Red Star Belgrade or Estonian side Levadia Tallinn if they overcome FK Zeta in the second qualifying round. They lead 2-0 from the home leg.

And according to the bookies it's Celtic who have the hardest task, as they are marginal 4/6 favourites with Coral to book their spot in the main draw whereas Liverpool and Arsenal are both on offer at 1/3.

"Celtic face the toughest task of the three British clubs, but we'll be hoping all the teams progress to give us the maximum British interest, and therefore maximum betting turnover," said Coral's David Stevens.

Meanwhile totesport are 11/4 about all four making it through, their spokesman Paul Petrie saying: "Obviously we don't know who Rangers are going to be playing but there is no doubt that Celtic look to be the team most likely to ruin this bet.

"Having said that, although Arsenal and Liverpool are both longs odds on, they could have got easier matches and one of them might slip up."


Meanwhile, totesport are offering 66/1 that Celtic will return to Moscow in May by making the Champions League Final.


Petrie added, "The goal for every team this year was to make it to Moscow so at least Celtic fans can claim they made it."


Last season's Champions League runners-up, Liverpool, are 1-3 with Coral to overcome Toulouse and make it to next season's tournament proper, following today's qualification draw. Fellow Premiership side Arsenal are even hotter favourites, at 1-7, to get past Sparta Prague, while Scottish Champions Celtic are 5-6 to put out Spartak Moscow.

"Celtic face the toughest task of the three British clubs, but we'll be hoping all three teams progress to give us the maximum British interest, and therefore maximum betting turnover, at the start of next season's Champions League," said Coral's David Stevens.
