There is an unusually sombre tempo head of tomorrow’s Champions League last 16 tie, a consequences of the 0-3 reversal at home three weeks ago and the general sentiment around Scottish football this week, but this match is an excellent test for both manager and playing squad.
We are a Champions League team again with aspirations to achieve at this level next season. Having finally overcome the hoodoo of never having won away from home in the competition, we must use occasions like tomorrow to continue our growth in the competition.
We defended our 18-yard line in the Camp Nou and almost got away with a point. The plan was wrong in Lisbon, where a talented Benfica controlled midfield and recorded a narrow win, but the win against Spartak in Moscow was deserved.
Celtic might not be able to qualify for the quarter finals but they can win the match tomorrow; this is an achievable objective which would sweeten the inevitable medicine.

Would it not be spelt the Romans were for eating rather than wheat.
You could well be right! I ate a couple of loaves of it last time I was home and visiting my son to the south in Dingwall. Very nourishing and flavoursome but pricey. Read that it was an ancient grain but cant remember if a British type or the common name for European etc.It was only the magasine article of the book that I read and high protein wheat was the name used with Egypt being the grainbasket of the empire, Sicily also important and Britain coming into it much later.
I had forgotten,between the reading and the eating, about spelt!
AS to the main debate,looking forward to updates along with breakfast here, 100% effort from all whatever the result. More important to get the rules of the game administered fairly and get rid of those guilty of not doing so!
