Michael Owen has led the praise of Celtic's performance despite the Hoops falling to a 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid in their long-awaited return to the Champions League group stage.
A spirited first-half showing at a packed Parkhead had everyone off their seat with the scoreline level at the break. However Madrid's class shone through in the end with second-half goals from Vinicius Jr, Luca Modric and Eden Hazard securing the three points for the current holders on match day one.
Ange Postecoglou will have a lot of positives to take out the game and with Shakhtar Donetsk and RB Leipzig to come fans will feel a replication of this performance will see them into a healthy European run. And the likes of Michael Stewart, Chris Sutton and James McFadden were all on hand to analyse what was deemed as a step in the right direction for the Scottish Premiership champions on a frenzied night in Glasgow's east end.
