I think the performances in the previous Astana CL play off ties revealed a great deal re Celtic's slim chances in group B and that's been confirmed by last night's result. Celtic have attained a 'certain level' in Euro footie but don't have the financial clout to get beyond that level unless a Quatari business consortium, or similar, decided that the Hoops could be a new and productive footie project. That clearly aint gonna happen. I agree with edgie that Celtic/Rodgers could have set up better to ensure the game was far more challenging for PSG than it turned out to be but also agreed the Hoops would have lost anyway. Celtic will recover, just like they did after that previous humiliating thrashing at the Nou Camp not that long ago, and the pragmatic Brendan Rodgers will utilise the resources that he has at his disposal as well as improve the team further at the 'mid point' part of the season if attracted to certain players who may become available.
