You're some man BR, but even you can't get away with that sort of defensive setup in an away CL tie.

To be fair, he had no other options available.

Indeed.

Didn't get the point of Armstrong coming on for Sinclair. The boy did nothing again and it left us with a good 25 minutes with no subs left.

Didn't he assist our 2nd goal?

He did. I'd argue Sinclair was having a good game and there was no need to take such a big gamble with so much time remaining though.

At 4.1 down he made a couple of subs, steadied the ship and it ended 4.3. I can't remember any other Celtic manager who can make tactical changes and substitutions which change the game so positively. Armstrong and Rogic gave us energy and composure and Ralston stopped the dangerous supply of crosses from the left wing.

Yip. He shut up shop and we started to play with more composure once the subs were made and ultimately led to our second and third goals.

There's only so much he can do once the team get on the field. He can't allow for our captain throwing a wobbly and letting the opposition into the game for instance. His subs were timely and correct.

Correct. :thumbsup:

Tonight will help us in the long term I think and might hopefully persuade us to strengthen even further possibly.

Qualifying this year, in the circumstances we did, is probably just as big a feat as last year.

From having to play Ajer and Bitton in centre half in half the difficult games, trying to negotiate a perilously close tie with no strikers for 5/6ths of the tie, to gubbing the team we only just beat 3-2 last year, 8-4 on aggregate :worthy:

Even tonight, I've seen some shoddy away performances from Celtic in Europe, but we still looked threatening and should have had more than the three away goals by the end. We play a brand of football which is not only nice to watch, but effective.

Back him, Celtic.
