Young Christie scans were clear so doesn't look like a break or fracture thank God.

14 Dec 2018 15:03:12
That's good great news. Anything on lustig?

Reading it's possible ligament damage. Which is worse than a break. Hopefully just heavy bruising and the boy will be back soon.

I am not medical, so what is worse, a break or a fracture?

Plenty of times we have played well and went out of Europe. Remember Partizan Belgrade 5-4 and went out on away goals. We beat Juventus 4-3 and ended up with 9 points and still went out, that same year Arsenal had 9 points and qualified.
Lady Luck was on our side last night because we did not play well, but that luck was long overdue.

Liverpool went through with 9 points and oneils team had 9 and went out no rhyme nor reason.

Worst Celtic performance I have seen in many a year, not one player got pass marks. Take the luck and move on, massive improvement required. We desperately need a new first choice striker. No squad players please gaffer.

Dafabet c'mon worse display in years? Wee had our chances against good teams in Europe u only get 2 or 3 chances needto take them mate not the best I admit.

14 Dec 2018 14:42:04
Bigbhoy it was rank rotten, every Celtic player had an off night. Your man Eddy has the first first touch / hold up play I have seen.

14 Dec 2018 14:51:36
The fact is we won 3 out of 6 games so deserved to go through and Leipzig didny.

14 Dec 2018 15:31:00
Mally, I am happy to be through, but that was a terrible performance we put in again in Europe. The players Froze, end of.

Was it that the team played their worst performance in many a year or Salzburg are a good team and didn't allow us to play (remember they were in the semifinal of Europa League last season) On top of that the day before the game it is announced that Griff is out indefinitely for personal reasons and then the boss is forced to use all his substitutes early as result of injuries, apart from Sinclair. Then the individual performances weren't grat its truebut if you consider that Ajer who had a short back pass and missed a sitter towards the end is only just back from a serious eye injury and possibly would not have played had Boyata been fit. Okwe lost our last game and still qualified whilst the team sitting fourth in the Bundelsliga couldn't win their last game and are out.

First half was terrible. 2nd half was more even and we had the better chances. Final ball and control was poor. Rogic and Edouards worst game for us. We just need to cut out the schoolboy errors that's what costs us. We have to graft for goals and give ours away cheaply.

To say it was the worst performance in years is way off the mark. I think too many people gauge our European performances against our domestic performances. They are completely different. The standard of opposition is different, the way the game is played is different. If you expect our players to hold on to the ball as well as they do in domestic competition, you don’t understand the difference in the level of the game. If you think they should win it back as easily as they normally do, you don’t understand it. If you think they will create as many chances as they normally do, you’re not getting it. It’s fair to say we’ve didn’t play well but to suggest it’s the worst performance in many a year sounds to me like Keith Jackson trying to get a reaction out of the Celtic fans.

What is it with some fans. we were terrible on Thursday, let’s acceot it and move on. Can’t stand these fans that won’t have a bad word said about performances etc. Take the green tinted specs off.

15 Dec 2018 15:51:35
It’s nothing to do with green tinted specs, it’s about being realistic. I sat in CP and watched Celtic struggle against a really good side who also beat Leipzig home and away and who will probably be in the latter stages of the competition. BR commented in his book how Celtic fans expect to win every game. It’s ridiculous pressure to put on the players of any team. Fans need to recognise the level we’re at and what we can reasonably expect of the players.

15 Dec 2018 17:15:18
Coybig, they have a smaller spending budget than us and they played us off the park. I don’t think we should win every game, but we didn’t even compete. It was an awful performance and in my opinion the players bottled it!

15 Dec 2018 23:08:48
Ok, you think we could’ve/ should’ve done better while I thought we probably did ok against a team that are better than us. We could go on forever about this so let’s just agree to disagree.
