    Job done. AZ had some real quality in them, by far the toughest test for us thus far.

    No stupid mistakes second half and what do you know? We're through.
    Cut out the defensive stupidity and Ange style can work for us.

    That was torturous. Man of the match Ralston for me, again. Second half he was excellent. Thought Montgomery did brilliantly as well. Sometimes positionally he could be questioned, but he'll improve on that with experience. Didn't even enjoy that game tbh, far too nervy, sometimes wonder why I even involve myself with this carry on lol

    Hart was excellent after the mistake. Especially dealing with crosses.

    Starfelt is far better when we are sitting back and things are coming at him in the air. He doesn’t fit this system at all.

    Ange will be happy Celtic got through but trust me, he will be spitting chips the way they played tonight. He won't be satisfied.

    If we had a defence we would be a really good team.

    2 really stupid mistakes, sort that out and we could really be a decent team. Starfelt actually played really well in the 2nd half so hopefully he takes confidence from that. A few have put themselves in contention for Sunday. Young Montgomery is a definite and Christie in beside McGregor and eduard starting with kyogo up front. That was a decent side we've just knocked out so well done Celtic.

    Lessons need to be learned tonight, we will go nowhere with those tactics, defenders under pressure with every pass they make is not fair if they are not good enough to take it under pressure and be brave. Ange is building something beautiful but we cant be naive. Well done bhoys

    We rode our luck no doubt, it's luck we haven't had in Europe for a.while, everything has always been against us. However, for all its worth, saves from Hart, thats what he is there for,.missed chances from them, their poor finishing, the 2 goals they got were our monumental blunders !!!

    He’s a backs to the wall defender mate, he cannot play out from the back.

    Poor after there goal and continued to be until Edouard came on. Wasn't perfect but he changed the game. Shout out to Montgomery stood up for us in a tough game.

    Overall he still obviously looks questionable, but credit to Starfelt for a good second half. Made a key defensive header from a corner and a really important tackle.

    Surely the money for qualifying gets us some defenders in, get it done Dom because we all watched that at times tonight.

    This.

    And then Lennon would've accused players of all sorts after it.

    I'll be very interested to see Anges post match comments, and whether he can see what the rest of us clearly see, that with this current backline, playing the ball out from the back against good opposition is just pure * folly.

    Defensive signings needed.

    As Soon As * possible.
