What the Celtic pundits said as Gordon Strachan highlights glass ceiling theory with quality 'not good enough'

Goals from Timo Werner and Emil Forsberg ensured it was a night to forget for Celtic as they lost 2-0 to RB Leipzig in the Champions League. Two second-half strikes made the Hoops rue several missed chances and that has now made sure of the fact that they cannot qualify for the last 16 of the tournament due to their adverse head-to-head record with the German outfit.

Ange Postecoglou 's men had a bucket full of chances, namely to strikers Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis, although the failure to capitalise found Werner, who was lively all game, in the perfect spot to put the away side 1-0 up, before substitute Forsberg's well-taken second put a dagger in Celtic hearts to leave their Europa League chances on a knife's edge. Leipzig took a huge step towards qualification with their win, whilst Celtic will have to go again next year if they are to dine with the big boys of Europe once again.
