Celtic won't beat Leipzig at home.

It is unrealistic at this stage to expect Celtic to beat Real or RB. A place in the Europa League should be the target.

you're right. realistically it's a matter of having to beat Shaktar at home and also hope they don't pick up any more points.

Important game tonight, a draw at the very least is needed.  Was at the Motherwell game on Saturday and Celtic were poor enough, just seemed to be a bit off the pace.  Think Ange is trying to rotate the squad which is understandable given the schedule coming up but it makes everything a wee bit disjointed.   

Not a strong team, badly hit with injuries. Ccv and Starfelt massive losses. Abada must be injured also, he's a big miss as well. I'd definitely be happy with a point with that team. Just noticed mooy is missing too, he could've done a job off the bench. This could be a struggle.

Abada was left out as he was observing Yom Kippur apologies if I have spelt that wrong)

I wouldn't expect them to bear Madrid but they should be able to cut out the mistakes against Leipzig

Celtic have the ability to beat those teams (except Madrid) but they won't. It seems to be a mental block that they can not win a game in Europe these days. I actually missed the game. Went to watch it and it was already over!

Riding the crest of a wave one moment (well sort off) and now 3 weeks later a lot has changed. Some poor performances and now the captain McGregor out long term with knee injury, football can change so quickly in the space of a few weeks. Some of the new guys really have to step up now that McGregor is out injured like Abildgaard, our biggest problem is quite a few have gone off the boil a bit and we need them to find their mojo again soon.
I see CCV was training today so even if he gets 45 mins tomorrow it will stand to him for Tuesday nite, get him back fit and Starfelt with a few players finding form again hopefully we can hold onto top spot. Ange can clearly see this as he played Forrest and MCarthy on Wed nite and they hadn't featured for 2 months

Fuckin hell Celtic this is a special kind of balls. wtf was VAR there too ffs

Can't finish chances at this level.

I thought they did well enough but they are playing in a league that is equivalent to the championship and Leipzig had just too much class for them and that being said, if they were a little more clinical up front they could have won it. I wouldnt be too hard on the team or club, this is the highest level and its hard to be playing team like St Johnstone at the weekend and a top European team a few days later - chalk and cheese

That's it. Money talks. In CL we are st Johnstone equivalent. Copenhagen managed a draw v city but didn't remotely try to win against 10 men. At least celtic try and win. Good to be back playing at this level all the same.

Not be playing at this level for too much longer if they don't get their act together. They've been unconvincing this past month or so.

The teams werent mismatched by any standards 2nite tho, Celtic missed a criminal amount of chances. Maeda is a hammer thrower might as well have me on, he'll score 1 in 10 & botch half his crosses. He's  had his chance, time to try something else. I'd have the big Greek starting every time as well with Kyogo.
