In Wednesday night’s Champions League match against Atalanta, Celtic delivered a defensive masterclass, throwing a bit of a curveball into the mix.
The fact that they can play on the road against some of the top teams in Europe’s top league gives the entire team a little push.
Following Brendan Rodgers’ team’s seven-goal loss to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, you can’t blame the Celtic supporters for their pessimistic outlook.
