Alright guys? Celtic fan and ive been posting all week on this site, so thought it only right that I came on and gave you an honest opinion after being at the game last night.
Daylight robbery.
You played us off the park bar a 20 minute spell in the 2nd half and had we been 3-0 down at half time we couldnt have complained. Our midfield was a mile off the pace and our defence a bit dodgy. Wouldnt blame Sutton & Larsson as they had no service whatsoever. We couldve had Rivaldo and Ronaldo up there and it wouldnt have made a jot of difference. Dire.
All I would say is that Celtic will never play that poorly in the 2nd leg and despite all the fancy football in the middle of the park you never really had an end product. Douglas wasnt really tested for the whole 90 minutes and if I was a Rovers fans Id be very concerned about that fact.
The atmosphere last night was poor to say the least. Hats off to the way Rovers played for that. Had Petrov scored early on it wouldve been a different story. Must admit from a personal point of view I was sitting waiting for you to thump us, but that never materialised and at half time I did have the feeling we might sneak it as Rovers had squandered so many chances in that first half.
Bottom line from a Celtic point of view is we cant go out on away goals now and im happy with that 1-0. Ewood Park will be an entirely different story and the fact that every Rovers fan now thinks the 2nd leg is a formality will work in our favour. Believe me guys Celtic will be 100% better down there.
I look forward to it.
