    Another embarrassing result in Europe, don't matter if it's PSG or a diddy team from Andorra, Celtic should never be beat by this margin. Can't make excuses here, shouldn't be in awe of tonights opponents, if Celtic want to make a mark in European football then they have to start stepping up and get rid of the Scottish 'at least we're here to make up the numbers' mentality.

    Team still has a couple of things that need remedied:

    Goalkeeper - Craig Gordon good shot stopper but distribution still poor. Was at blame for two goals today at least.

    Right back - Lustig has not got the fitness level anymore due to his numerous injuries. Needs a solid replacement

    Centre back - Boyata and Simunovic are good but not great, Celtic need a marquee defender (or two) to come in. It's shocking how we've had to play at least 3 of the biggest games of the season with makeshift defenders.

    Defensive Midfield - Brown is the club captain and the driving force but I think can no longer play at this level and is getting found out in a couple of European matches. Can he be replaced though?

    Craig Gordon is not a good shot stopper. In games where the opposition has 20+ shots on goal he’ll make a very good save whilst conceding at will at his near post. Awful goalkeeper and probably only about the 4th best in Scotland alone.

    Brown and Lustig have been two of our best performers in Europe this season.

    Gordon isn't a good shot stopper.

    We're flush with midfielders and have three RBs in the squad..

    One quality CB in the window coming and a GK in the summer are the priority.

    However we simply can't complete with PSG, Barca, Madrid or City(this season) no matter who we buy.

    Man for man our defense is not any worse then the team that nearly drew Barca away and beat them at home. Our goalie is at least 3 levels behind

    Gave away the baw for the first goal. Outstanding after that. Top class against Bayern the last night too.

    GK on ending contracts next summer according to Transfermarkt:

    Arrizabalaga - 23 - Bilbao
    Consigli - 30 - Sassulo
    Cardinale - 23 - Nice
    Robles - 27 - Everton
    Alvarez - 31 - Celta
    Hradecky - 27 - Frankfurt
    Hitz - 30 - Augsburg
    Hennessey - 30 - Palace
    Krul - 29 - Brighton
    Vorm - 34 - Spurs

    Any of these worth a punt?

    The reason we never got knocked out in Israel a couple of years ago was of Kolo Toure. He clearly never * himself, stayed calm and didn't give the ball away every time, unlike the rest of our teams before and ever since.

    I think he's telling the players to go express themselves and play as they play in Scotland which is good as it shows he has confidence in his players...but I really think he's asking to much of them as they dont have the quality to match...i think after 3 high score defeats in two years he has to seriously re-consider his tactics for games where we are going to be under the cosh

    PSG are just a world class team with great players. It was a hiding, but thats the level of Champions league.

    We could sign Sergio Ramos and stick him in at CB tonight and we would still have gotten * hammered.

    Football has became a joke with teams being able to essentially buy trophies.

    Not even going off of tonight, we need a CB. A good one at that. Maybe even 2.

    Funnily enough I actually think our centrebacks just now are more experienced and probably better than Ambrose and Wilson....

    No chance. Was howling all night, except that one break he played a decent ball into Dembele on the counter.
