There's a huge difference between getting a result and enduring a humiliation.

I'd have been delighted with a draw and a 1 or 2 goal defeat would have been disappointing but entirely understandable, however ANOTHER 7 goal hammering under BR = unacceptable.

We've now lost (away in CL under BR)
7-1 v Dortmund
6-0 v Athletico
7-1 and 5-0 v PSG
7-0 v Barca


Look at the teams you've listed. Celtic are completely light years behind all those teams. Celtic getting results in Europe is like a 3rd division team hoping to get a result against a premier league team in the FA cup (it happens once in a while). If Brendy parked the bus and Celtic got beat 3 nil last night people would be giving off for them 'not having a go'.

Just for context the difference in squad cost for Celtic's last 2 games.

Celtic, man for man, absolutely would have inferior teams compared to these, but there are plenty of lesser teams in the CL who have successfully set themselves up as hard to beat away from home and get results.

Saying fcuk it let's go man2man and attack all out because the fans demand it is crazy, there are ways to be defensively minded but still 'have a go' on the counter.

I'd also suggest that most fans would prefer some form of set up that (at least on paper) gives the team a chance and doesn't result in utter humiliation..2-0 or 3-0 away to an elite team is understandable, 7-0, 7-1 etc you are a laughing stock.

No other manager in the CL has consistently had these type of results, I would imagine because after one hiding away from home they learn a lesson.

Ball retention absolutely pitiful. There'll be tears again

Can't keep the ball for more than 2 minutes! Don't think that's on the manager tho, players making ridiculous decisions. Need a few prayers to get a point out of this.

Milltown Row2

Doing a hell of a lot better than last time away from home
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Celtic might get something out of this. Atalanta who are a strong team look out of sorts.

Captain Obvious

Good result for Celtic tonight against Atalanta side who back in April beat Liverpool 3-0 in Anfield.

A great point won away from home against a very good team.

Credit for the graft and heart.

Could be a big point at the end of it all.

No1

Good result. Big Trusty had a great game except for one brain fart right at the end!

Banks of the Bann

Great result. Well done Celtic 👏

Main Street

Workmanlike to the end, though it helped that Atalanta misfired in front of goal. Celtic grew in confidence after Kyogo and Bernardo came on and even offered some threat. Atalanta petered out in the last 1/4, wasted their added time opportunities on those 2 awful free kicks, which were from a dangerous position.
I think Bernardo will be one of the main men, not just for his skill but the team badly needs muscle in midfield, too many players being brushed off in one on ones.

Aaron Boone

A solid show tonight and in a pretty good place in the CL table.

Focus now on Motherwell Sunday and Dundee next Wednesday. Aberdeen look to be the SPL danger this season.

Targetman

Was fearing the worst this evening but that was definitely a point that not too many would have seen coming, a backs to the wall performance in the main but as the second half progressed I genuinely thought we could have nicked it, Leipzig at home next!
