Bhoys not out of their league in Europe

BEFORE Tuesday night’s game at Celtic Park, Gordon Strachan intimated that the Premiership was over-hyped, something I totally agree with him about, and that the SPL wasn’t that far behind it.

Now, in contrast, THAT is having a laugh! However, there can be no doubt Celtic’s win, and its consequences, took him and his captain totally by surprise.

Getting back to my hotel to watch the highlights I was feeling guilty that, though I realised Celtic’s victory was enough to take them above Manchester United by virtue of ‘superior head-to-heads’, it took longer to recognise it also ensured their qualification.
