CELTIC fought back from a poor first half perfomance to take a share of the points against Club Brugge and crucially take one step closer to the last 24 of the Champions League.
It was an out of sorts display across the opening 45minutes with the Belgians Champions the better side and the Hoops could have no complaints about going into the break a goal down.
The Bhoys rallied after the break though and showed once again that they belong at this level as Daizen Maeda grabbed his 3rd Champions League goal of the campaign.

Brydo saying he's not having knee jerk reactions to Engels
Seem to remember him slautering Trusty a few weeks ago
Ah’ll tell you wot will happen , the club will no longer pay higher transfer fees our fans simply cannot handle it , they lost thur shit the moment we shelled out more than 10 million, absolutely pathetic, they also lost thur shit when we paid 9 million for Idah , the fans huv been yelping away for years about the club being stingy , then they shit the bed the minute the board goes the extra mile , Ahm fucking sick of the shit talk around ah player who is still young , it’s ah fucking embarrassment, as the panel say thurs ah growing number desperate to jump on the “ ah called it first bandwagon” , ah fucking embarrassment, the man is ah good player and will prove it , let’s have it right he’s here for 5 years
Make a few fouls spot on Brydo .Spot on as well Tino all players our players .Greatshow boys as usual
The real problem is fans counting points before games are played
Full backs back in the day just had to win tackles and headers and don't cross the halfway line
Jeezo
Tell that to Gemmell Craig and McGrain amongst many others
Unless your talking about the forties
Definite first half brutal miles off , end of day point will do
Maeda brilliant for us
That's some leap to blame Engels for that goal.
Plenty of options for Khun, a wee introduction from the bench for Engels should be the way forward imo.
Credit to Brugge & to us for earning a point whilst not at our best.🍀
We dug out a draw while not playing as well as we can against a good team in the CL, that is a good sign. On eight points with three games left is a great position to be in.
Is Engels not playing a new position with Celtic ? I just think he has not fully settled yet, new position, moving here and playing in a different league. Don't think he had played in the CL before this season ? you need experience in that competition, a lot of our players are now playing it for the third year in a row, think about Maeda for example in his first few games in it under Ange, compared to this season, experience is priceless. I think Engels will do well, might be next season before we see the best of him.
Sorry Brido, Engels wasn't in any part to blame for that goal last night. He was poor and is clearly out of sorts but you can't seriously level that at him.
Aye ,ok , apart from getting the score wrong ? I was right about how close the teams were. Given our recent history in European competitions? I would say the prognosis is positive. CCV own goal is so random .HH🍀🍀
Rodgers looked unusually a bit stressed in the pre-match interview which was the total opposite of his media conference only a day before. I thought that strange and that maybe he had had an argument with someone just before. He was the same after the game but that was wholly understandable after the poor performance of his players.
As for Engels, after two or three games, I had referred to him being as slow as Turnbull without David's shooting prowess and was then subject to some ridicule by others even one saying I must be a Sevco fan. 😂 I have said my piece on the boy and fervently hope I am proved wrong in the longer term but surely everyone in their heart of hearts can see that both Bernardo and McCowan are better options right now. Celtic is bigger than any single player whoever he is and special pleading for one player at the expense of others more worthy of a place is unfair to them. It is not being cruel to Engels to point that out. As for the game itself I thought the press and intensity from the players just wasn't there and we suffered badly as a result. The players have to take responsibility for that and, tbh, at the end I was happy to settle for a draw which I don't honestly believe we actually deserved. We now move on and hopefully learn the lesson once again that hard pressing is the key to success against top opposition. We are still in a great position to qualify for those play-offs!
Greg Taylor needs replacing in January and beyond. Hes been an issue for far too long now
I agree with alot of the comments saying to give the players time and they will come good,
i also think we get too caught up in comments and not realise that 60% of the people that support celtic are more than likely not on commenting on youtube videos or live streams.
I also think that goes a long way in explaining how celtic media and social accounts dont perform as well as smaller clubs
My entire family supports celtic on both sides and i am probably the only one that follows celtic on social media and engages with it
So take everything you see with a grain of salt.
Imo we got away with one there!
We didnt deserve a point.It means that if we can get anything from Zagreb we only need a draw with young boys. Could be massive.
