I might be Mr. optimism tonight, although I don’t know how as I’m absolutely gutted, but I’m actually proud of the boys tonight. Maybe it’s because I didn’t really fancy us going into the game, but I thought we dominated a game at the highest level. We’re playing in a pants league that regardless of finances struggles to allow us to attract top talent. Combine that with the fact that we only get to play decent teams a couple of times a year (and no disrespect to the SPFL teams but most of them setup to frustrate us rather than challenge us) … I mean even Man U can’t compete at this level and look at their squad, money and league they play in.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t expect more, and I’m not saying I’m happy with the result. However, I am saying I was very impressed with the way we played today. I thought we dominated the game and deserved to win. If we clear our lines, Hatate incident gets a red, and/ or Palma’s goal goes in, I think there’d be a few different posts on here.
Again, it’s not all bright and rosy, but we didn’t just lose to some Cypriot mob.

Good Post McStay.

I was also happy with our second half performance.
The marginal decisions went against Celtic tonight but that’s what happens when we’re on such a poor European run.

I feel tonight just like the Lazio fans did four years ago when Nitcham got the winner in Rome in the 95th minute. I watched the game tonight with some friends who support Lazio as I live in Rome. Before I had a chance to say anything they admitted that they had stolen the game as Celtic were by far the better team. The Lazio team we beat home and away just four years ago was far superior to this team. It's true they are not some Cypriot mob but they aren't far of it. Unfortunately in football the better team doesn't always win.

McStay my friend Enrico agrees very good post.

Very hard to accept to get zero from the game you know. But the thing is like you say some nice football and Enrico can see different style of play starting to come together from last season.

Yang is very young but continue to improve he have some very nice touches last night.

Diazen gives his all everytime guys.
