Just back from the Celtic game via the pub obv. Unbelievable performance, as usual Tighty calls it right we were happy to let Barca have possession and exploit their weakness at set pieces. We took a bit of stick after the first game for being defensive but if anyone thinks we can take the game to Barca they are kidding themselves they have destroyed far better teams than us. The defending was superbly organised and comparable with Inter and Chelsea against Barca in the last few years.
We will sell Wanyama for a ridiculous amount of money, top European teams love his type and he's still only 21.
Forster was excellent again tonight and young Watt can be anything he wants to be.
That's 5 Celtic Barca games I've been to with a record of W2 L2 D1 including seeing us put them out of the UEFA Cup in the Nou Camp!
Apologies for the ramble but I'm still buzzing, the atmosphere at Celtic CL games is something else and that was undoubtably the best tonight
Ramble away bud, you have every reason to be proud, it's been a while since ANY team beat Barca in the League stages of the CL, & you were arguably unlucky not to do better in the away leg.
In years to come, it will be seen as a really historic night, & you can tell the grandkids
I was therePriceless memory for you.
I had the choice of watching the Man U game, the Chelsea one (which looked pretty liovely) or yours, & I ended up glued to the Celtic game. Great stuff.
I have no idea how the CL works, but you currently sit clear 2nd in Group G, so presumably you may well reach the knockout stages?
Dreams are made of this.
Beautiful words fellas.That's a result that will never really sink in.
One bit of advice I would give to anyone who hasn't experienced an CL game at Celtic Park is that if the oppurtunity ever arises to take one of these in then take it.
Last nights atmosphere will probably never be beaten but their is very few venues in World Sport that can compete with the Passion and Noise.
Also good to see Tony Watt get the winner as he has netted Fred a few quid, the downside is the bookie's won't be so generous again.
