Former Celtic Striker Chris Sutton admitted he doesn’t see Celtic building a credible run in the Europa League to win it.
The footballer turned pundit addressed the question after Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben told the press Celtic were good enough to go on and win the Europa League – but Chris isn’t so sure.
“Do I agree with Arjen Robben’s suggestion they could go all the way in the Europa League? No.
“Celtic are progressing but I don’t think they are at that stage yet. There are some very big teams in that competition and I don’t think Celtic are strong enough defensively yet.”
Arjen may have been getting ahead of himself after sampling our famous atmosphere and any level-headed Celtic fan knows that it would take a monumental effort to get to the late stages of the Europa League should we nail 3rd spot down.
Celtic have been caught short defensively since the start of the season, and it seems to be the only headache the manager has at the moment.
After failing to secure a defender in the summer window, Brendan Rodgers will try again in January should his side have European football. Chris Sutton is absolutely correct in what he has said.
