    we shouldnt lose sight that we got a very decent result there, we played a brilliant 1st half and I think in the last few European games we would have earned some Euro respect back.

    proud of the boys.

    Forster - looked like the keeper he needs to be. Best player second half

    Cha is gonna do himself no favors in the battle for the RB slot with those errors. Thought Brown was actually decent. Its very hard to get the ball off him. His passing wasn't the best.

    Ki was ok, a bit pedestrian. His passing is not as deadly as I'd thought it'd be on the European stage.

    Forest can be too selfish at times (shooting from 45 yards in the 85th minute) but generally played well.

    Maj and Vic were good.

    Kayal - decent

    I like Charlie but we'd be so much better off in Europe with Izzy.

    Hooper played pretty well tonight. We needed that first so badly though.

    Sammy - best player first half and was relegated to trying to bring down high balls for us in the second half.

    Stokes - looked ok, not great but was a sub and we were playing high balls from Charlie.

    Bangura - not on long enough

    Proud of our lads, it's a shame though it could so easily have went the other way.

    Forster, Sammy and Forrest were all outstanding tonight.

    I don't think Cha was as bad as some of you are suggesting. It was a difficult sliced cross to deal with and they got lucky. Plus he almost scored.

    Brown was poor, Ki was poor, Kayal was decent (don't know why we took him off) and Wanyama was solid as ever. And Forrest didn't have his best game in a Celtic shirt. But all in all a great performance. Should've had 2 penalties too.

    Oh, and Forster was fantastic.

    Brown was * dreadful same old story with him. I thought Samaras was excellent as was Forster. Rest were much of a muchness.

    Udinese are cheating *, blatant handball in the last 5. Diving about like a shower of tossers as well.

    Let's not forget what's important here lads. We may be out of European competition, but we played like champions tonight and we were missing several key players into the bargain. Just imagine the impact that players like Ledley, Izaguirre and maybe even Commons would have had on proceedings tonight.

    Tonight's performance does not fill me with sadness, but rather, fills me with hope for the future of this young and talented Celtic squad.

    I'm a bit dejected that we did not get through obviously, but I reckon a draw was a fair result in the end up. We were the better side in the first half, they were the better in the second.

    The league is the important thing and Udinese are a far better side than the Huns are. If we play the way we did tonight against them on the 28th and with more of our better players hopefully back in the squad, we will beat them and really take the initiative in the title race.

    We can always have another crack at the big guns of Europe again next season. But it really is imperative that we focus totally on the league now and stop those manky * from getting 4IAR.

    So proud of the bhoys. We held our own against one of Europe`s best teams and a brilliant performance from everybody especially big Forster. Outstanding. Jesus, what an absolutely awful player Cha is. Thought the rest of the defence was brilliant. Referee was * throughout the game and really cant understand Lenny`s decision to take Kayal off. Why not Ki or Brown?? Some of the decisions he makes are baffling but he got the tactics spot on for the most part tonight. Anyway, now we can completely focus on a league which we should run away with if we keep that level of performance up. Still so disappointed though as we should have qualified from that group if it wasn't for silly mistakes. A group that was harder than Man United`s Champions League group

    are you being serious? Udinese are winning the Italian league and we went to their stadium and got a draw. Not to mention that without cha's own goal and the udinese penalty we would have been through pretty comfortably.

    Bullshit. Maj was great tonight against one of the worlds top striker.
    Wanyama and Ki have been great all season

    Cha was very poor tonight. Brown didn't do much either way with one notably shocking pass but he was abscent more than woeful. I thought Kayal looked disinterested and was one of the worst performers.

    Forrest showed that his ceiling isn't the SPL (which I had originally thought) as he was going past players just as easy. Forster kept us in it.
