MARTIN O’NEILL is adamant that Celtic can progress to the last 16 of the Champions League – even though Ange Postecoglou’s side only have one point on the board at the midway stage of the campaign.
A 3-0 defeat at home to Real Madrid raised the curtain on the Glasgow team’s return to Europe’s top table before Celtic were held to a 1-1 draw away to Shakhtar Donetsk in their next match, fashioning plenty of opportunities but failing to take them.
The Premiership champions threatened a comeback in Germany last week when Jota cancelled out Christopher Nkunku’s opener for RB Leipzig before a howler from Joe Hart handed the Bundesliga side the lead. Andre Silva added a third to put the game beyond Celtic with around 15 minutes left to play.
