Gutted Ange Postecoglou admitted Celtic paid the ultimate price for their missed chances as he RB Leipzig exposed the gulf in class at Champions League in ruthless fashion to bring a premature end to the Parkhead side’s return to the group stage of UEFA’s premier competition.
But Postecoglou insists he won’t shy away from trying to bridge that gap by doing things his way after suffering a 2-0 defeat to the Germans which ended their campaign with two games still to play. Celtic passed up a host of chances and were made to pay as £25 million man Timo Werner and Emil Forsberg struck in the final 15 minutes of a breathless match.
The Celtic boss - who played down fears of Liel Abada’s injury after the Israeli went off - told BT Sport: “The emotions are disappointment. Disappointed for our supporters and the lads. It’s a game we were well in but it’s the story of our campaign so far - just missed chances that cost us.
