    I don't think I've ever seen a Celtic performance where I would not give a single outfield player pass marks until tonight.

    Having said that, when you listen to Lennon and Brown after the game saying it's the worse artificial pitch they've ever witnessed, then maybe it's understandable?

    Just delighted we got through that.

    we need a quality forward and a proven defender to replace Wilson

    That was a horrible performance but it says alot now that we can play * and still get the job done, sign of a good team!

    New signings needed for the next round or we'll struggle to get through. Worse case scenario now is Europa League group stages :50:

    It was good enough though, and that's all that matters.

    Hopefully we do strengthen though, and with 2 weeks until the next qualifier we have enough time to bring some replacements in. We should also have Van Dijk and Boerrigter back by then as well.

    Most nervous I'v been since Barcelona. Thank * that's over. :50: Heart sank when Bangura hit that scissor kick.

    We should be able to beat all 5 sides in the Unseeded section, would like to avoid Legia Warsaw though.

    The only positives from tonight are that:
    1. We're through.
    2. Wilson will be off in the morning.

    Yes, I know Wilsons come on since arriving and that he did reasonably well last year. I also know that it's pretty late in the day to be losing a CB. But if THAT is our defensive benchmark, then we are no further forward than we were 5 years ago. He's undoubtedlt faster than Caldwell or McManus ever were, but he's not as strong as either, not as committed as either was, and his decision making / positioning is no better than either.

    I agree, if we can play that poorly yet restrict teams to half chances and go through then I'll take it.

    Wilson, Wanyama, Hooper was pretty much the backbone of our team in Europe though, we will need to gel again .. and quickly.

    Exactly we all know we were bad,but we still didn't concede against a team that are used to a terrible pitch halfway through there season so I'll take the plus that we can only get better :50:

    Time for a couple signings now we're guaranteed Europe till Christmas!
