Celtic captain Callum McGregor says that his team should maintain their attacking approach in the Champions League despite two defeats from their opening two matches.THE mantra from Brendan Rodgers from the get-go in this season’s Champions League has been one of restrained optimism.
“The next game is massively important. We have to get something from it. The group is still tight enough to get out. If not, then definitely getting third and having European football after Christmas.There is a sense though that the Celtic fans – while fully cognisant of their club’s disadvantages at Champions League level – are starting to tire of hearing about lessons being learned and fine margins after their team conspire to shoot themselves in the foot.
“We spent the last 15 to 20 minutes with the ball but we made one mistake and the boy scores with a brilliant header at the back post. You almost need to be perfect at this level. You almost can’t make mistakes as teams have the quality to hurt you. “It’s maybe just not quite falling for us. If you get points on the board or get a win, I think subconsciously the confidence rises, you get the belief and maybe we just need a moment like that to lift the club and start to get the results the team maybe deserves.”
