    100% spot on. No cohesion. And Efe playing CB when he's supposed to be RB - he did exactly the same against Maribor and it cost us a place in the Champions League. It's a * joke. Why is no-one (Deila, Collins, coaching staff, players) giving him a roasting for playing out of position all the time?

    I'm happy with the result considering we were away from home and normally don't bring good results back against decent to great teams.

    Salzburg are a very decent team with some very good players who are currently struggling for a bit of form, a bit like us.

    The game was a mixed bag, both teams had spells at different stages throughout the match.

    Both teams had players who had their moments, some a little more consistent overall and some just not up to the mark at all.

    A 2-2 draw, where we went ahead twice, conceded one through an unlucky deflection, we leveled out the luck with a deflection and then they tie the game up with a goal worthy of winning a match never mind drawing it.

    So, yes, positives can be taken, improvements still required but in comparison to our previous experiences away from home, this is a good result, away to the group 'favourites'

    After that performance, I would say Celtic and Salzburg are neck and neck at the moment.

    The game 5 result will be the group decider as long as we can be smart, against Astra and Zagreb, and do what we couldn't do against Maribor.

    We seem to start of wach game great and slowly fade away towards the end of the game. It was a great result and we played well at times but the players need to learn to take a breathe and think when in possession of the ball

    Would add to that negatives list a lack of cover for the defense from midfield. Partly down to Kayal not being brought on sooner.

    Think we did well to get a draw though as well all know out away record is dire. Hope the team can take confidence from it though as they seem to have a sever lack of it at the moment. No wonder with the results and frustration amongst fans..

    Understandable when you have a lead away in Europe.

    All in all it was pretty good. Of course there is room for improvement but after all the negativity going into the game it was a fine result, that will lift the team. I really liked Mubarak, he was like our Cuadrado at times. Using his pace to get us up the pitch.
