Unreal Benny...Nearly felt sorry for the lad.

Think the Germans beating Madrid last night puts the group into perspective a bit. We competed and didn't get embarrassed so that's a plus (although one big test still to come). Onwards and upwards.

Realistically it's gonna take Celtic a few years of consistently reaching the group stages to build into a team that can expect to win games at that level. The signs are definitely positive though and as you say they definitely competed. I'd nearly liken it to the likes of club teams winning their championship and then gaining experience at provincial level- it takes time to build and improve at the higher level.

Saw some stats for the group. Celtic are second behind Real for shots on goal and corners, third for average possession. Have been no worse than level after 55 mins in all matches. Have probably hit the woodwork the most. The lack of killer instinct in front of goal and the final quarter when the team seem to tire/lack of able replacements has been the downfall. Not insurmountable and something to learn from.

Maybe but do you not think Hatate has looked a different player (in a bad way) in Europe too versus in Scotland, and I like him as a player.

A nice comfortable win today in a ground where Celtic have had difficulty there in the past, two wins in the last two visits has put that to bed. It's good to keep the gap and if we can get to the World Cup being still 4pts (min) it will be a big boost for December and the rest of the season.
Looking forward to my wee trip to Madrid, I'm heading tomorrow afternoon for Dublin Airport so fingers crossed we don't get a severe loitering over there, £220 for a match ticket wasn't ideal but it's good to have it on your phone before you go rather than scrambling over there looking tickets which normally is the case.

Hate has had a dip in form over a few matches, he wasn't the only one to fail in Europe, but he is still a good player.

Looks to be a very interesting signing.

Neither Hatate or Kyogo in Japan's World Cup squad but Maeda is

[toby47]

How many from the Celtic squad will be going to the WC?

Thought Kyogo and Hatate would have been shoe in's, in a 26 man squad.
