After a bad defeat, would you rather a difficult game against a Champions League team at Celtic Park, or an awkward visit to a Premiership side playing 10 men behind the ball? Neither seems a great prospect, but in a tight league race, the latter is definitely not a desired option.
A big performance and result against a big opponent in a game with only money and coefficient points up for grabs is what this Celtic side needs right now. Our best result of the season so far – the win at Ibrox – came after an insipid home draw to bottom of the table St Johnstone. After that match, a patchwork squad found a cause which united them.
Give a team a cause and results will follow. I would rather a team with a hunted look to them than one with a sense of their own brilliance, especially this early in the season. We cannot be confident of taking anything tomorrow night, but we can be sure we will see fight from Celtic.

Will be in the air tonight when the game’s on, so will find out the score when we land Stateside. Feyenoord are decent but should be entirely beatable for a club like ours. Will be disappointed if we don’t take at least a point, but that defence couldn’t keep weans oot a close without CCV, so a defeat is likely.
By and large we’ve played well in the ECL this season and deserve a win. Would be great if we could do it tonight and bank another couple of million for Pete’s next heated driveway into the bargain. 👍
