Bit of a wake up call tonight:

Wasteful in midfield (brown especially)
Keeper beaten near post (again)
Wasteful of chances (griff for Europe? )
Young guys inexperienced at this level but will benefit from this game
Teams who press us high up the park will either get slaughtered on the counter or will reap the rewards.

Great job to qualify delighted for us all, this team is building and learning every game.

Imagine this draw:

Real Madrid
PSG
Liverpool
Celtic

Regardless of the draw it's great to be back in the group stages.

Can't say I thought either ajer or Ralston looked out of their depth tonight . biton yes.

DRB - I know you champion the youth but the pair of them where well of it tonight.

Bitton did as well as he could in that position. I personally at one point thought Rodgers had made an arse of it tonight. But . I should never doubt the man as he hasn't let us down once.

Kev I watched game again there and the two worst performers in defence imo where lustig and biton . thought ajer was the best of the 2/ 3 at cb and remember he too has only in the last season converted to cb. same with Ralston lustig was really bad at rb ( not much better at cb ) when moved in and i thought Ralston coming on shored it up . i don't know what you seen to think ajer or ralston done wrong . But everyone sees things slightly different i know.

{Ed007's Note - And Ajer is more used to playing on that kind of surface after spending a season at Kilmarnock.}

Thought ajer did ok tbh, unlucky own goal, just hope he stops the bombing forward, got caught out a few times, reminded me of kolo last yr, im old school, as in a defender should defend first and foremost.

Think your being a bit harsh lsland celt, yes we made a bit of hard work but 4-3 (8-4 on agg) is not bad result for going there, hearing there was some trouble from Astana fans too.

Minto

Ralston in 18 years old, and Ajer 19. Give the kids a fecking break!

We gurn about youngsters not getting a chance and then slaughter them when they do. We won the tie, qualified and that experience will be invaluable to their development. The manager believes in their ability and has shown a great deal of faith pitching them into recent games. That may have been a bit of necessity, but I certainly don't think he done it out of sentiment.
