So now we are out of Europe, as much as it it's a disappointment and there's many points that need addressed if we really want to progress at that level, all of our focus needs to be on winning the league and Scottish Cup.

Rogic, Roberts, Griff, Armstrong, Compper should all be available to play soon. I want to see a resurgent Celtic with more energy and aggression between now and the end of the season. It starts with Aberdeen on Sunday and every game between now and playing the Manky Mob. We want to build that gap again.

Obviously its been hard juggling European and Domestic football with a big number of injuries but its time for Rodgers to find his best 11 and stick with it. There will be some natural rotation/ changes but we can't be making 5/ 6 changes like we've down on too many occasion this year.

I'd like to see us be more attacking and direct, it's great having the ball, but having most of the ball in your own half of the pitch is pointless, it just allows other teams to get in behind and stay in their shape. 2 up front with a diamond in midfield would be my shout.

Think the mistake was in not playing the same team in the two zenit and st Johnstone games, the team that played so well in the first leg were only playing together for the first time, after the win everybody was buzzing and their confidence was good, but the team is changed for the st Johnstone game, this team doesn't perform, players that had played well in the zenit game were deflated, they went into the game last night with doubts in their minds,

Aindoh I wouldn't have changed it either but a can see why he did. Imagine one or 2 key players got injured against St Johnstone, the backlash would've been worse than this. A don't get why anyone is surprised by the result last nite, awrite the performance was well below par but we can't compete with the money teams like that have got, they spend an absolute fortune, on our day we can match them on the park but over 2 legs it's always going to be tough.

I think playing the same team was the only option, but unfortunately Mancini would have expected that too and planned accordingly.
As much as he is a very experienced and wily tactician - he couldn't have foreseen the goals we gifted them that did his job for him.

The spirit and the confidence of the team was more important than one or two players getting injured, that team needed to play more games together as a unit, how many times had Ajer and Simonovic played together?, how many full games had Dembelle played since coming back from injury?, he needed more full competitive games to get his sharpness, not a part game against st johnstone,
