The bottom line we scored 5 they scored 4 and we go through.
The bigger picture:- we have still got too many players who freeze or make horrendous mistakes in big games and we lose too many goals.

There was not one star-man for us tonight and indeed there were a few who looked really out of place - even at this stage of the CL.
The formation, did not work out as they bullied and forced the play as we dilly dallied and hesitated.
The wide men were nullified by long diagonal passes and the full backs (especially Janko who was terrible) had a torrid time trying to stop crosses.

Brown and Bitton does not - and never will - work; if you want the best out of Brown - sell Bitton.
Forrest and McGregor are SPL level and Sinclair is very hot and cold. When Griffiths is isolated he quickly loses heart and impact and I think he plays better with Rogic in the side to link the play.

Gordon saved one, dropped one and although he made a good recovery, he still worries me and others.

The draw will throw up the best in Europe and we will try to compete at home and probably struggle away - as we always do; but the cash generated will allow us to improve the squad and get that little bit better and most importantly make us even more capable of dominating and representing Scotland, alone as usual as Champions.
