Getting niggly now and stop/start with free kicks. Done well to cope (to an extent) with the Anderlecht pressure of the last 20mins |

aye, backs to the wall stuff right enough i only saw the second half but i wasn't that impressed with our quality on the ball, far too often gave the ball away 40-45 yards from our own goal and let them press us back just saw our two goals though, excellent stuff great result, i'd take that tonight |

Made hard work of it a bit of composure early in the second half would have seen the Bhoys easy winners. |

I haven't seen anything of our Development side - aside from that second half today - so this may be unfair, but I was unimpressed. Very poor quality (from both sides). The Celtic players repeatedly went on solo, poorly supported, runs which inevitably ended up in losing possession mid way in the Anderlecht half. Quite a lot of development needed, on that showing. |

I don't think we've ever won away in this competition's group stage (correct me if I'm wrong). I know youth football shouldn't be about winning but we look to have considerable talent imo. |

Scored 2 good goals and missed a big chance to make it 3 but never really played that well and it wasnt a great watch. I think the fact they had something to hold on too majority of the game they naturally sat deeper and didnt commit men going forward but excellent result and holding on for a win away from home at that level will do them the world of good. His touch was a bit off at times but Aitchinson looks like he could be a real player. |

http://www.celticfc.net/news/13304 UEFA Youth League Van Roy Stadium, Denderleeuw Wednesday, September 27, 2017 ANDERLECHT...1 (Sambi Lokonga 66) CELTIC...2 (Johnston 3, Hendry 11) CELTIC Under-19s swept aside their Anderlecht counterparts 2-1 with a fantastic away performance in their second game of this season's UEFA Youth League. The young Hoops scored two fabulous first-half goals and defended well in the second half to prevent the home side from drawing level and collect their first three points in the group. Tommy McIntyre’s side stunned Anderlecht early on after Michael Johnston put the Hoops in the lead within minutes of kick-off at the Van Roy Stadium in Denderleeuw. Captain Regan Hendry then doubled the lead minutes later to put Celtic two goals ahead. Anderlecht winger Albert-Mboyo Sambi Lokonga handed the home side a lifeline with a second-half goal but Celtic defended well to close out the game and clinch a huge win against one of Europe’s strongest youth teams. Celtic controlled the play in the first 15-minutes with some wonderful passing and aggressive pressing of the home team. Jack Aitchison was instrumental in the opening goal when he held up the ball in the centre circle before sending Johnston on his way. The 18-year-old winger timed his run perfectly and calmly slotted the ball beyond a helpless Olivier Vliegen with a wonderful finish. Hendry then doubled Celtic’s advantage in the 10th minute with cool finish following a string of fantastic passes in the lead-up to the goal. The ball was played out from the back to Ewan Henderson in the middle of the pitch. He then drove forward and slipped a pass through to Jack Aitchison inside the opposition box. The striker clocked Hendry’s run and the skipper did the rest, dinking the ball over Vliegen. Aitchison came close to scoring himself midway through the first-half when he collected a loose ball inside the box and attempted to place it in the far bottom corner but his shot was deflected wide. The home side had few openings in a first half in which Celtic enjoyed the majority of chances and showed great defensive organisation and aggression to deny Anderlecht any clear-cut opportunities. The Belgian side were more aggressive after the half-time break, however, and goalkeeper Ryan Mullen had to make some fantastic saves to protect his team’s two-goal advantage. Celtic still looked hungry for more goals, though, and Johnston caused Anderlecht problems on the wing with explosive runs and intelligent passing. Anderlecht winger Francis Amuzu was lively in attack and asked questions of the Hoops defence with some tricky footwork and impressive pace. Shortly after the start of the second half he cut inside and ran across the Celtic box, creating enough space to unleash a powerful close-range shot but Mullen showed lightning quick reactions to shut out the home team. Lokonga, however, eventually found a way through in the 65th minute, the winger tapping in from close range after Mullen’s initial save. The remainder of the game tested Celtic’s defensive organisation, but the Hoops were equal to the challenge, with Stephen Welsh making a vital clearance in defence, while Aitchison continued to trouble the Anderlecht defence on the counter. And a mature and composed looking Celtic side ensured Anderlecht could not fashion an equaliser as Tommy McIntyre’s team produced a magnificent performance against an excellent side to clinch a well-deserved victory and a vital three-points. CELTIC (4-1-2-3) Mullen; Duffy (Savoury 85), Welsh, Deas, Miller; McInroy; Hill, Henderson (Bell 63); Johnston (Watson 72), Aitchison, Hendry Not Used: Willison, Caffrey, Diver, Potter Edited by Dubz, 27 Sep 2017, 06:12 PM.

Lots of promise in the way we are going about things, they looked good from bits I saw first half today and the PSG match was of a high level against a very handy looking outfit. |
