As ever Celtic Park came in for much praise. RB Leipzig had taken their largest away contingent for a European match with 2,200 making their way to Glasgow. Kicker stated: “Many Leipzigers did not want to miss this experience! †And it appears the ground’s mystique was not lost on the German press with some reports referring to the stadium as a ‘Hexenkessel’ - a witch’s cauldron.
However, Schafer in Leipziger Volkszeitung best described the experience. “Sorry, Borussia Dortmund, sorry Besiktas, but Celtic Park and the Celts top everything that RB has experienced since its inception in 2009. “The fans of the Scots live up to their reputation as the world’s best fanatics, driving their Bhoys in Green for 94 minutes to the deserved victory, celebrating every duel, profane interjections and corners. “They also celebrate themselves, their loyalty, their songs.
The history of the cult club, founded in 1888 by the Irish clergyman Brother Walfrid, looms over everything, the score is decorating accessories, the big picture more important. “Celtic season tickets are traded like gold dust and carry the inscription: “A Club Like No Other†- a club like no other. â€
A quote from the German press.

Compare that to Leckie's hatchet job in the rag he writes for. You can feel the hurt in him. Actually I enjoy knowing it hurts the fat slug so much. You can always rely on the Scottish press to promote our game.

Welshybhoy read that too brilliant for our reputation.
Happyhoppy yes leckie was spewing, he was hoping results were reversed oh dear
Also did you hear Brendan on the radio putting that fud Sutherland of the BBC down, he tried to bring the team's victory down but Rodgers replied "typical Scottish press always looking for the negative"

I read that last night welshy high praise indeed. Contrast that to ‘bull’ leckies report- “ just a load of lightsâ€
He praised the Celtic fans for the 67 mins lights, however talk about negativity
I’m assuming you were their on thurs? What did you make of the new light set up?
