Neil Lennon was looking at the positives of tonight’s game where the bhoys blew a two goal lead and suffered from the same calamitous defending which has dogged us this term.
Two goals in the first fifteen minutes put Celtic 2-0 up. However, you would be hard pressed to find a supporter who thought Celtic would see it out at that point.
What happened next was expected and utterly depressing. Ryan Christie making a lunge for no reason to concede a free kick and Barkas decided to shift the wrong way for the set pieces, 2-1 and there was no going back. Milan equalised within two minutes and there was only really one winner after that point.
🗣️ "We've got to take something from the game. We've played a quality side and caused them problems but against quality opposition we really need to be getting that third goal. I'm proud of them and the character they showed after Sunday."

Celtic’s abysmal defence has conceded 17 goals in five Europa games and while we accept there are positives in an attacking sense tonight, it’s the same old story at the back and with no sign of things getting better.
