The nine-man Scottish champions slumped to a 2-0 defeat inside the De Kuip cauldron.
Brendan Rodgers admits his young Celts suffered a painful lesson in De Kuip – but they also proved they can cut it in the Champions League.
“But we showed against a good team we can be competitive for sure. We’ll have players coming back through the course of the tournament and hopefully that will stand us in good stead. “The second one it is a young player, 20 years of age, very committed. But at this level you can’t go to ground. I didn’t think it was at the time but looking at it back and seeing it slowed, his foot is up. At this level you will get punished for that.
“It is a very, very small detail but if you don’t look after it you end up conceding. It was bitterly disappointing at that stage because we played well in the game.”
