Trust the process . Were getting there. Disappointing AGAIN with the goals we lost but we are going at them and making chances.

The CL is an unforgiving playground, but we're only just into Ange's vision, that needs rembering. More quality in is needed, St Mirren proved that, and we will advance. We can win both home ties and we're right back in the mix.

Keep the faith.

Lost five goals in Europe again. Welsh was actually ok, but until we fix an defence that can’t defend with actual defenders, then we will never fully progress. Missing chances galore never a good idea either. Still an EL level team, especially without CCV.

Most of the team is still inexperienced, and we have players missing in key areas, however at this level if you don't take most of the chances created and make defensive mistakes, we will get punished. Wasn't expecting too much in our away games but we have gained a point in Poland and with two home games to play we can recover. Meanwhile, I hope the team regroup and get 3 points in Perth.

The future is still bright and our results in Europe will improve.
It’s looking like the Champions of Scotland will be guaranteed CL football for the next few years.
I’m confident, Celtic can get the CL money for the next few years and our results will continue to improve because we will be able to afford better players to compete at that level.
It’s currently baby steps because playing in the CL is a massive jump in the level of football.

We have come a long way in short period of time under Ange. Last night was disappointing . Leipzig were better team. It seems to me that the midfield has dropped a level. O Reillys influence has waned. Along with mcgregors in these last few games. I love both of them but matts touch seems to have deserted him . We seem to have lost the physical dynamism we were showing early season. Jota scored good goal but I feel at higher level he exposed defensively. The space on that side of pitch constantly which gave Taylor a shift. Again I love jota but at this higher level and the all action style Ange demands all over pitch I think jota a weak link. The amount of times it was easily passed around him as if he wasn’t there. I noticed same against Madrid but made allowances due to opposition. He seems to get confused whenever he in defensive mode in our half of pitch and Hatate and Taylor left to deal with overload. On other side for me JJ has been making some strange choices in game. Keeps making wrong choices. I think rAlston due a few games His attacking play better imo. Defensively JJ s speed is why Ange picks him in front of Anthony but we need more end product from him. Thot Welsh and Jenz did ok. Big Joe maybe needing spell on sidelines. Again decision making debatable. After Shaktar game I was totally delighted with how we played but ultimately disappointed with result. Last night just disappointed, flat . Beaten by better team who looked so physically strong all over pitch. Yes we have come long way but still a distance to go on that showing.

I love Anges style of play but sometimes you have to accept that there are better teams than you and you adapt your style accordingly. Ange states that the team won't learn anything by playing negatively. It’s debatable.

The first goal came from poor control by callum the defenders were up for a corner so no blame there, the 2nd was all harts fault no blame there, and the 3rd the defence could have done better,

{Ed007's Note - If we had scored that 3rd goal we'd have been gushing over it, we certainly wouldn't be talking about how the opposition defenders could have done better.}

Bang on mate that's the point the defence wasn't the problem last night, the 3rd was a good goal you've got to sometimes admit that, they were just better bigger and more physical all over the park, with 2 class strikers, Tues will he a tough night imo.

{Ed007's Note - I was wondering last night if we had ever tried to get Christopher Nkunku while he was coming through the PSG youth system, what a player he has become.}
