IMO Neil gets the players to play in a controlled manner week in week out and with good reason. It has to become second nature, such that when we play in the CL we do not suddenly have to change the manner in which we play or are setup.
I also think other managers have learned from Neil how to play against a team with better players. Allow possession in the first 2/3 rd of the pitch and no space in front of goal. Hit them on the break.
Hopefully long term this will improve the standard of play in Scotland.

Only the fans gave embraced it? That’s why it’s empty today?
I’ll not point out the contradiction in your post.
The Rangers International following will be having sleepless nights. Them and the atheist intelligentsia led by Richard Dawkins. How dare Boruc offend these people with his (delete as appropriate) bigoted use of religious symbolism and imagery/ superstitious mumbo jumbo dragging us all back to the dark ages/ Rome Rule………
The man is a maniac.
As an aside I read today that Polish fighter pilots flying hurricaines shot down the majority of German aircraft in the battle of Britain, not English Public School Chaps in Spitfires. The Poles had seen more action than their Brit allies before escaping occupied Poland and coming to Britain to continue their fight against Fascism. Artur Boruc was not one of them.

The “fans” only turn up for the big euro games or when we win the league.
Queues for hours for barca tickets, where’s everyone today?
The moan usually is 3 on a sat. Well it’s 3 on a sat and 40% of the die hard fans from the Ajax game aren’t here.
OK I’ll admit it I’m not there. A long drive earlier & the v poor weather put me off. One of the empty seats you see is mine!
No idea whether were ‘good’ or ‘crap’ but hope for the best result. Its the same after every game…I sometimes think I’ve been to a different game from my ‘kids’. :-)

The fans have embraced and considering the circumstances we are in they have more than did their part to bring back the thunder.
Today’s performance is not unusual.
Look at our home results this season.
Our cautious playing style is a factor in the dwindling numbers.
European nights are exciting but our mundane playing style in Scotland is turning off the support.
Our superior playing squad to other Scottish teams has been negated by one dimensional cautious tactics.

We do tend to win CL games after a poor result in the League, ;)
Fed up of seeing Celtic players get the ball out wide in the middle of the park and not having an easy pass inside to play. Centre mids hide.
CM cut back put behind for corner
VVD heads wide
VVD just cant get head to ball properly
Fk on forrest 25 yards out.
JF tripped as he headed towards box
NO Yellow
FK in good position
CM lining up
Free kick 25 yards out for foul on Forrest and Chico to take
That’s got to be a booking if it’s a foul.
Mulgrew hits wall
Ball comes off wall
VVD down after rising for Brown lob
