Not sure Virgil should be going to attack that with Bitton under it.
Came from Ambrose acting like a pleb out on the flank anyway when he managed to allow his man to waltz past him despite the ball breaking kindly for Ambrose and Virgil had to bail him out.
Really bad outcome from a game we really dominated.
As rocky as we looked all game, we took it to another level completely when Ambrose came on. We were prone to errors throughout but they weren’t calamitous. Once Ambrose was involved we looked really nervous, he was too easily beaten and his distribution was, of course, appalling. If Janko can’t replace Lustig competently next week then we’ve made a horrible decision in selling Matthews. Hopefully it was just Ambrose’s versatility that had him on the bench tonight, not ranking him ahead of Janko.
Hamann and Sadlier blaming Johansen - I don’t think it was anything to do with him. The ball was thrown onto the pitch beside him, he didn’t go looking for distractions.
I’m feeling pretty pessimistic about this tie right now.
Battling performance from Bob Houghton’s former charges. You’d fancy them to finish the tie off at home in Sweden.
What was the last European tie we lost where we had a first leg lead?
I’ve just dropped all my recent winnings on a -1 … I’m now paying for my days in west cork and Kerry. Dingle feels a shit hole now. Going home to bed.
I don’t know mate
Celtic are better than them. Now there’s expectation on Malmo and Celtic will be forewarned. We’ll beat them by a goal or two over there. No need for pessimism, pal.
Agreed. Disappointed that we handed them a couple of lifelines but we were the better team and I’ve every faith in us scoring in Sweden.
Can you imagine our defence without Van Dijk?
Thanks guys. I’m feeling much better now
Nope. If Lustig is injured for any length of time then we’re in big trouble. But not next week. We’ll be fine next week.
3-0 would have been a fair result. Once lustig was off the dark old days of the sieve were upon us.I had Forest written off as finished but he was decent tonight
can someone explain to dancing baby what the sieve was?
It may not be the last time but Basel 2002/03 immediately springs to mind. Same stage of the tournament. Celtic won first leg at home 3-1 and lost 2-0 in Switzerland.
qarabag immediately springs to mind you idiot

Its one thing giving you a schooling on test match cricket and the geography of Conservative and Unionist Party Members of Parliament but when I’m giving you a lesson on Glasgow Celtic, you’ve got a serious credibility problem.
You not got any marathons to bottle?
For one that gets so vexed when you perceive other contributors of straying off point, you should really practice what you preach.
A pretty lame effort in any case to deflect attention from the almighty clamping your buddy has just got.
What a clamping for that gimp TSG. Well played, Geoff.
