McDonald: Celts won’t give up on Euro dream

SCOTT MCDONALD insists Celtic will soldier on in their bid to make Champions League progress but admits the chances of Gordon Strachan’s side reaching the last 16 are “not good”.

The 1-0 loss against Villarreal in Spain on Tuesday night has left the Scottish champions bottom of Group E, with one point from two games, ahead of a daunting double-header against holders Manchester United.

The defeat, inflicted by Marcos Senna’s second-half free-kick strike, extended Celtic’s depressing away record in the Champions League which has now seen them pick up only one point from a possible 48 away from Glasgow in group games.
