C’mon Celtic this crowd are there for the taking. Matthews final ball a big let down needs to do better. We can get joy down that right wing, would have suited Forrest.
canamalar prays Oscar can do it again on
Provan what a dick
No prizes why he’s no in the coaching game, clueless
Playing well, looking forward to Boeriggter coming off the bench at 65 mins if score is still 0-0.
We can win this

HT AC Milan 0-0 Celtic
There’s no question this team are there for the taking. Great first half performance. Brown has been immense in midfield as has Charlie. We have found ourselves in a few great positions going forward but unfortunately, most have come with Mathews in possession down the right and his final ball has been poor. Hard to expect anything else from a player playing out of position. Defensively we have looked solid. We have restricted them to a few shots from outside the box – something we will need to watch second half as the ball breaks out from our box.
Commons, Sammi, Stokes all finding it hard to find space. Stokes working hard but a difficult shift for him up there on his own. He manufactured a great opportunity, leaving his marker for dead, but instead of trying to find Commons he tried to shoot from too tight an angle and the chance was lost. Neil was not happy.
Our best chance was the FK given 8yds out but as usually happens in these situations, the mass of bodies was enough to keep the ball out. A bit more creativity might have provided a clearer opportunity at goal.
All in all, possibly our most disciplined away performance in Europe so far. Let’s keep it very tight at the start of the second half.

AC milan look nothing special here. More of the same from Celtic with a few shots when we,re round about their box and we could take the prize.

Fanni was wide open for much of that first half. Arsene needs to keep his eye on that.
Oh and Davie Provan. I can’t believe he is the way he is after everything Celtic Football Club/Support did for him. Very Sad. Always negative about Celtic, which is ok if that is yer bag, but never giving praise when it is thoroughly merited is an indicator of something not so good.

If our ball into the box had been better we could have taken a lead into HT.
Playing well, nice to see us attacking and not constantly defending.
thomthethim, how about putting Sammi up top? He can play with his back to goal, and he can protect the ball well, allowing Stokes to advance from a slightly deeper position, and likewise Commons, perhaps giving us a few more shooting chances.
Also, we could do with more threat on the left flank… Derk time?
I was a little annoyed about the commentator’s observation that Commons could have done with that late opportunity opening up on his left foot so he could have had a pop at goal. For Ghod’s sake, he is a professional footballer. Even I’d have had a pop from such an opening with my weaker foot!

Nervy start and nervy finish to half. Apart from that we are playing very well, obviously we don’t have the quality of Mata or Ballotelli and these 2 will be a danger for the full 90. We are right to take the game to them, if we drop back and give them the ball, we won’t hold out against those 2. So so proud of the Bhoys.
Cowiebhoy in support of Fearless Oscar & Family on
Adam Mathews pulled up half way through that half, watch 40mins, he is talking to bench about staying on.
Can’t see him coming out for 2nd ?
Keep shape and hit down wings on break, and we could get a break
Hail Hail

Very solid professional performance and a bit more composure in last third and we could be in front.
Stand outs are Matthews, Brown and Lustig IMHO.
Sammi being Sammi. On the cusp of something and being a good out ball.
Haven’t got Anto into the game.
Is it Teemu to get Pukki??
Billy Bhoy supports wee Oscar on
Well done, Celts.
Is that our most comfortable 45 mins on the continent since the second 45 In 67 – or have had a beer too many?
Watching the game in an Irish pub in Bilbao, the locals don’t seem to have much interest, the only other people watching are three young Scottish girls that live here.
Not that I am complaining. :-)

Adam is getting the positions just not delivering. It’ll come second half for him.

This is a great Celtic away performance…we need to be careful not to take anything for granted, Milan are dangerous….but we are capable of at least a draw here, on this performance….

Excellent first half from Celtic. I was going into the game hoping for a draw, but having seen that, this game is there for the winning.
Celtic have dominated and Milan look lacklustre to say the least.
Matthews needs to be more positive from good positions on the right.
All in all, delighted with the performance so far.
Jeez….we’ll take that so far. We can hurt these people especially with PACE.
Got Bhoys on the bench who can do that but a great result so far. We do not look out of place at the big table.

Giving as good as we’re getting – Ballotelli a diver/acter and the ref has seen thru him.
More of the same Celts and we can take something home with us.
Gardez la Foi
Ray Houghton is co commentor on RTE.
He really doesn’t like Sammi.
Get the impression he isn’t too keen on us either which is surprising given his upbringing.
He’s destroying this game. Give me Burley any day
So far so good. Broonie bossing the midfield.
So forza so good, well done bhoys.
No shame there.
Curse on the ref for laying 1m 10 secs though.
He’s having a mini mare in my eyes – although not being sucked in by Ballotelli’s diving.
0-0 would be great.
0-1 would be skipping into work day
Adam Matthews..
Whit a Player.
Noo.. Adam has everything that Ah look fur..in a MID FIELDER.
Ah wish.. Peely Wally Ledley..and Broonie the Hasher and Basher ,wid tak a Page oot
Adam’s Book.
Folk , Always Think that Ah am Being Unfair tae Ledley..
But.. For Heavens Sake..
Take alook a How Adam plays the Mid Field Position
He is whit Ah call a Player!!
Kojo
Happy.
Malc, it seems to be behaving a bit better now. Now the adverts are on!
Chuffed with our first half display…broonie has read the game well and has grown into his armband.
More of the same Celtic.
Ye cannae beat a nerve tingling away tie to one of Europe’s elite clubs in the Champions League.
Italian commentator (Sky Italia) says that Celtic have had been the better team in the second half of the first half.
The team is playing very well,keep it tight,if Stokes can up his game then there is no reason we cannot win this game.
We may see Derk coming on so i hope he tracks back,Matthews has done a lot of running so might be the one to go.

Celtic actually topping possession 54%ish in favour – insane away European scenes
If we score first this team will crumble, too many average players for a Milan team…
Pace is the key against this defence…
So far so good!
Playing well, looking forward to Boeriggter coming off the bench at 65 mins if score is still 0-0.
