KEITH ANDREWS: Heroes and villains

This week we saw the Champions League resume after its winter break with some mouth-watering fixtures as the competition came down to the last 16 teams.

KEITH ANDREWS: Heroes and villains

On Tuesday, Celtic entertained Italian league leaders Juventus at Parkhead. Celtic have been fantastic in this year’s competition and I’m sure exceeded even their own expectations in qualifying for this stage from a very tough group. What has been especially impressive is the way in which, coming from the SPL, they have risen to the really demanding challenge of taking on some of the best teams in La Liga and Serie A.

However, the game this week couldn’t have started any worse for them when they conceded a careless goal within three minutes. That said, I thought they reacted very well to going a goal down and, with a vocal crowd behind them, they really took the game to the Italians.
