    A morale boosting win, hopefully gives us the lift we need ahead of the weekend.

    My only hope is from all this pain, we can find a player or three in nygren, Engels and tounetki to come good for us going forward. Imo we can talk all night about Kenny and his enthusiasm and movement but I just don't see him ever doing it for us

    A step in the right direction at least with the tempo and couple of changes, injuries are a blow though.

    Need to take that momentum into Sunday now.

    Delighted with that tonight, especially after going a goal down and losing two players to injury. That’s the sort of resilience you want to see from a Celtic team.

    Never seen the game but good 3 points hopefully the players get a bit of confidence and the fans get a bit of positivity from it. Board can still get * though

    Waking up for work with a good mid week European result is always a nice.

    Hopefully something has clicked.

    Brutal first half but somehow found the dig required and fought our way back to some sort of quality. Scoring from 2 corners in 2 minutes was * crazy considering our usual pish.

    Praying this is finally the moment that kicks us into gear, will know for sure on Sunday. * delighted with the result in the end.

    They haven't had an altogether "easy" run either.

    Beating Forest away is definitely a worthy scalp.

    Did we work on set pieces? With what little time left until the biggest game of the season so far, we'd do well to try and replicate yesterday's success from corners.

    Nygren shouldn't play on the wing, Engels should, while the Swede might be a false 9. Kenny didn't seize the opportunity. Tierney playing the full 90 is bad. I hate having unused subs.

    Much better last night, thought we played well and created far more opportunities. It's also 1st game in a while I've enjoyed watching us.

    Injuries are a blow but perhaps creates an opportunity for Shin or Osmond to be involved on Sunday.

    Johnny Kenny did more movement in last night game than Kelechi has done all season and it gave the Strum Graz players something to think about all night i was disappointed he didn't score he deserved a goal .

    Yeah but if that wee guy finds his touch he's going to be great for us. He's like a raw talent who just lacks a wee bit of thinking and composure.

    I agree. I haven't seen much in Kelechi to be that impressed.....he's a real downgrade.

    Only kept the game on after the first half because I went on my phone instead of changing the channel.

    Looking at highlights that goal conceded was identical to the braga one
    Kasper needs dropping

    No way was there goal down to our goalkeeper
    More blame on the midfield not tracking their players than anything

    I thought Graz were as poor as an attacking threat we’ve seen at CP for a long time

    If we had a CF who got on the end of all the balls played into the box it would have been a more comfortable night than it turned out to be
