Charlie Nicholas hands FOUR Celtic stars Champions League pass marks with 'jury out' on quartet

Charlie Nicholas has only handed FOUR Celtic players Champions League pass marks with the 'jury out' on a number of players.

Ange Postecoglou's men have been eliminated from Europe altogether after picking up just two draws from their five group outings. They had the chance to keep Europa League qualification hopes alive last week ahead of facing Real Madrid but a share of the spoils at home against Shakhtar Donetsk brought that dream to an end.

It's been a tough return to Europe's top table with Nicholas only handed 'established' tags to Joe Hart, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Josip Juranovic and skipper Callum McGregor. Matt O'Riley - linked with a host of clubs south of the border, including Manchester United - is not far away according to the former Parkhead striker but he believes doubts still surround Jota, Kyogo Furuhashi, Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda. He's in no doubt they have the talent and ability to star on the big stage - but they need to do it regularly and show they've got it.
