Celtic played yesterday their second game of the Champions League group stage. The Scottish champions lost 1-0 against Villareal.
Former Barcelona midfielder Marc Crosas stayed on the bench for 90 minutes.

a little surprised to see crosas dropped to the bench for this one. we really struggle to keep the ball away from home in champions league and this is one area where he would have helped.
but in truth it wouldnt have made any difference as we are truly embarassing when playing outside Glasgow.
It's strange what a difference playing at home/away can do with a team. Although the 0-0 against Aalborg was pretty embarassing too actually... ;)
Nothing's lost but now you play Manchester twice while Villareal plays Aalborg twice, so it they get four and you nil (or they six and you one), it's already over...
