Great wins for Leicester and Spurs - shame it won't get a lot of coverage.

Leicester are doing very well for the first ever season in this competition, I hope that they go as far as possible!

3-2 Celtic! This is a match I wish I was watching, sounds incredible.

Dembele will be in the Premier League next season.

Celtic are working hard. Rare to see them like this in a CL match.

They always raise their game against English opponents though

It was this point last year the wheels slackened a bit

Fair play to Celtic they played well their borussia monchengladbach double header might give them a shout of third

We showed them no respect and went after them.

Yep, exactly this. A few Premier League teams could do with taking note.

I have just finished watching the highlights, fantastic overall performance by Celtic, hopefully they have showed the way forward for other teams to play against City.

In terms of that particular group, lots of pressure now on City to have to go to Barcelona and win, if they want to top the group, rather than just qualify in second place, as I think that they will perceive it as two points dropped.

Celtic have still won more games against English teams in Europe than we've lost after tonight. Record is now won 7 drew 6 lost 6 and we've played Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Leeds and Blackburn.

If someone offers us £30million we will consider it

Let's not all get carried away. It was like a lower league team in the FA Cup where they give it their all and then hang on for the last half hour to get a replay.
Celtic did very well but let's not kid ourselves this was some type of genius performance as to how to play City.

I know you are always desparate to have a dig at City but you really need to give it some thought first. Why can't they win at home and draw away. There is no pressure on them at all to have to win there.

Where does this perception come from, that I am desperate to have a dig at anyone, at anytime, like I am just sat around waiting to pounce, and post digs at people or clubs, come from??

I can say for the record, that none of that describes me, or what I want to do here on DS.

On to your points, City could do as you say, but the pressure is on them to have to win at least one of the gang, if they wish to top their group, as with this draw at Celtic, it does take the pressure off of Barcelona to a degree.

The two games will be enjoyable viewings for the neutral though.

Fair enough point but bear in mind that Celtic only have the budget of a "lower league" team in the FA Cup. Teams in the lower half of the English Championship can buy more expensive players and pay larger wages than Celtic can. Compare the value of their team with Man City and appreciate how they punched way above their weight last night.

Pish, some of Celtic's home result in Europe from 2000 to now:

Celtic 4-3 Juventus
Celtic 1-0 Porto
Celtic 1-0 Valencia
Celtic 3-1 Stuttgart
Celtic 1-1 Liverpool
Celtic 0-0 Bayern Munich
Celtic 2-0 Lyon
Celtic 1-0 Barcelona
Celtic 1-1 Villarreal
Celtic 0-0 AC Milan
Celtic 1-0 Shakhtar Donetsk
Celtic 1-0 Man Utd
Celtic 3-0 Benfica
Celtic 0-0 AC Milan
Celtic 2-1 Shakhtar Donetsk
Celtic 1-0 Benfica
Celtic 2-1 AC Milan
Celtic 2-0 Villarreal
Celtic 1-1 Man Utd
Celtic 0-0 Benfica
Celtic 2-1 Spartak Moscow
Celtic 2-1 Barcelona
Celtic 2-1 Ajax
Celtic 3-3 Inter Milan
Celtic 3-3 Man City

Id like to see a Lower League English team with a CV like that. Your Spurs, Evertons and Southamptons wouldnt get near that.

English football is dire with no passion or atmosphere, thats your problem. Old Trafford, Emirates, Etihad, Stamford Bridge are full of prawn sandwich spice boys. Its why the League is a joke to watch, totally boring. The poor football just adds to it, couldnt hold a candle to the tactics or technique of the Spanish, German and Italian Leagues.

I totally agree with that.
If you ever have been to Vicente Calderon you know what atmosphere should look like.
For me there is a special atmosphere in England but for me nothing that can push the players.
Just look at Liverpool vs. BVB last year EL - that is the atmosphere which can give the whole team a push.

All one-off games but the reality is Celtic are full of Championship standard players, because thats where you shop.
Your stadium is only full of passionate fans for these games and maybe a couple of others. Its half empty for run of the mill league games when its nailed on you will win.
