The Celtic turning point in Germany was Nir Bitton having to come off with a knock, but also the number of subs Ange made, especially in attack.
It’s clear tonight, Celtic’s lack of depth hurt us big time.
Ange’s subs at 2-1 to Celtic were to bring off Jota, Kyogo and Forrest – totally changing the dynamic of the game. The three lads were likely out on their feet, but you have to imagine they could have given a bit more than Abada, Johnston and Ajeti.
Celtic’s lack of depth has hurt us this season it’s been our undoing tonight.
In Hindsight, those changes killed the game for Celtic.
Leading 2-1 in German after going a goal down is no easy feat. However, we had to be better.
McCarthy was also pretty poor when introduced for the injured Bitton.
We were undone by two great goals towards the end of the game. We nearly nicked a draw at the death but, it wasn’t to be.
I would question Ange’s wisdom if he changed the top three again during a game where we’re not comfortably ahead.
It’s a lesson learned tonight, who can you trust.
