    I wonder how he is feeling right about now.
    If I remember correctly he came to us from Celtic.
    The chances of them going into the last 16 is high. And what a night.
    I wonder if he has any regrets.
    Probably on more money here. He starting every game and playing well here as well.

    Celtic had 11% possession according to Sky. Barcelona 89% and just under 1000 passes. Just goes to prove massive possession stats don't always win you games.

    thats what you call a snatch and grab result , Barcelona over complicated in front of goal on more than a couple of occasions .Foster made some very good saves and some resolute defending was the difference .Pity their not my favourite club

    I don't think he'll regret it. He is playing in the most high profile league in the world here. Yes he would have enjoyed beating Barcelona but the CL are the only matches worth playing in if you are in the SPL. That's 6 games at least - more if they qualify. In the PL he is playing Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool etc that's 12 big games there. It's also a challenging league whereas we know Celtic will win the SPL no matter what.
    Celtic get big crowds at home, but away they are way smaller than the size of PL crowds. I'm sure Ki get's much more headlines back in Korea being in the PL than he ever did in the SPL
    I know which league I'd prefer to be in.

    Now that's what you call a freak result that happens from time to time, If they were to play 10 games more celtic would lose everyone......Its was great to see though....

    He's going to learn more from Laudrup than he did from Strachan for sure and I imagine that's an important consideration for him.

    Have to disagree Dai, Barca knew from last weeks game what the Celtic tactics would be last night, but their manager and players were basically snuffed out and fair play to Neil Lennon.

    All that matters is that the Bhoys scored more goals within the rules and within the 90mins, it matters not that Barca passed Celtic to death, the record books will show that Celtic got 3 points and that Barca were beaten<ok>
