    Would've taken four points from the first four games. Great to be there already.
    Best thing is we totally looked like we belong at this level too

    2 home games now very important. Last nights point has definitely removed a bit of pressure from them. Thought 4 minimum from them but 3 even 2 now won’t be catastrophic. Obviously think we should be doing better than 2.

    We will be going for the win though in both. We are strong at home.

    We are a mid table side in the greatest league in the world. That is not bad. If we get 6 more points we will most likely be a upper table side.

    Looking at the fixtures I really think 8 points is achievable. Surely with 12 points you’re not far off top 8?

    Will be absolutely sensational if we can beat Leipzig at Celtic Park. The whole thing just opens up for us if we do that.

    For me .. the most positive thing about last night … apart from keeping some respect in Europe - especially away…

    … is the general feelgood factor.

    It’s a solid result that is great for the club. The players will feel confident, us fans are happy, the Scottish sports media desperate for us to take another beating have their bottom lips out and Huns are raging and accusing Atalanta of being ‘average’ or not interested in the competition.

    It’s great going back into the league and league cup with that tailwind and really looking forward to the weekend games now.

    Unfortunately it all gets interrupted by more international Pish in a few weeks… but roll on!

    Favourite thing about last night is that it was no fluke.

    Takes alot of work to pull that off.

    Honestly if we are able to take maximum points in the next two games we could really give ourselves such a strong chance of the play offs.

    Really hope we pull it off, really hope we can add to Leipzigs issues and give them 4 defeats in a row.

    It is going to be mental and require a back breaking amount of concentration and effort, but with the home games coming up, then away to Zagreb then home again to Young Boys there is a real possibility we could aim yo get 7 points.

    I'd go mental if we achieve that

    9 points should be enough for the play-offs, so 2 wins would seal it.

    If we get 6 points in the next two games we give ourself a chance of auto qualification imo. Leipzig will be a test though. Its that old cliche of wounded animals are often the most dangerous - we need to not underestimate them as they beat us at home 0-2 not so long ago.

    Yep, we can't get carried away in all honestly. No easy games in the Champions League and as happy as I am with the direction we're going, we've still got a lot of work to do.

    Opta predicts us to get in the playoffs in over 70% of their simulations after last night

    Leipzig looked excellent against Liverpool in highlights. Been unlucky to be on zero points. No easy games at this level.

    2nd in Bundesliga and have a scary team with Openda, Sesko and Simons.

    I’m not expecting anything from the game but another point would be brilliant.

    The games we need to focus on are Zagreb, Young Boys and Brugge. Need to aim for 2 wins.

    Such a gigantic game against Leipzig next. If we can somehow manage to win that game then we could be looking at potentially finishing top 8. Lose it and we’re under massive pressure against some decent sides to secure a playoff spot.

    I’d be absolutely gutted if we don’t at least make the playoffs now, but what I’m really hoping for is playoffs, with a shot at making top 8 going into our last game at Villa Park. Imagine we had 10/11 points going into that knowing a win gets us top 8. Would be a tall order but basically a free shot at skipping straight into the last 16.

    Not getting ahead of myself or anything :fear:

    Well, he wasn’t fit (surprise surprise :giggle1: ) so makes getting that 1 point even better.
