Callum McGregor’s exciting Celtic Champions League verdict after Bhoys claims Atalanta got ‘bonus point’

Of course, this may change over time as Celtic will face RB Leipzig in their next Champions League match V Parkhead in less than two weeks.

Admittedly, draw Boyce vs Atalanta took the form of a tougher speech. Instead of free-flowing, eye-pleasing football, more emphasis was placed on weakening the home team’s ability to exploit dangerous areas frequently.

Celtic are fine so far in trying to book Champions League progress, Callum McGregor gave his verdict on where his team thinks they currently are.

Callum McGregor’s verdict on Celtic’s Champions League results

With confidence from Wednesday night’s game against Atalanta, McGregor feels Celtic can move ahead of what many assumed at this stage on points and hopes his side can continue their momentum at home to RB Leipzig and beyond outside of it.

He stated starting with the midweek result (Daley Record): “Yeah, that was probably a bonus point. I think we knew we might be able to get something out of the game, we needed to take it to a big level and all that.

“But we felt like there was something to be gained from this game, and now that we have it, it’s kind of a bonus. For the other games, we’ll just have to look at them in isolation and see what we can get and hopefully by the end of the competition in January we’ll qualify or be in a play-off group to go and try to qualify for the next game. stage.

“We’re just taking it one at a time and trying not to get too high or low in terms of results. We know where we want to be and we just need to stick together as a group. It’s interesting – maybe we’re ahead of where we should be in points.

“Home games are always important, the next one will be a very difficult game, similar to the style of play in Dortmund that the Germans play. It will be a tough game and we will have to take it to a high level, but hopefully we can continue our performance, bring the crowd with us and get another positive result.”

Celtic return to domestic duties ahead of RB Leipzig test

Before the meeting with RB Leipzig, Celtic had two Scottish Premier League clashes with Motherwell and Dundee to take care of before the powder keg Premier Sports Cup meeting Aberdeen next Saturday.

The Boys have shown that they are more than capable of competing on the European stage, but they will be keenly aware of how much work remains to be done across all competitions to secure a good position this season.

Six points and a spot in the first cup final of the season will be the fans’ only expectation from tomorrow afternoon’s match at Fir Park.
