Celtic picked up a deserved point against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League this evening. The Celts put in a performance few can be disappointed with.
Goals from Kyogo and Luis Palma proved crucial for the Bhoys who, going forward, will aim to build on the matchday three result next month in Madrid.
At full-time tonight, though, there was a disrespectful moment from opposition manager Diego Simeone.
Indeed when the final whistle sounded, the South American gaffer appeared reluctant to shake hands with Brendan Rodgers:

Across Europe and the world of football in general, Atleti are known for their lack of sportsmanship. That was coherent in Glasgow yet again this evening.
The Spaniards were dirty in their tackles, and got a man sent off in the second half. This moment of discontent from Simeone puts testament to his team’s unsportsmanlike behaviour that was as clear tonight as it was when they came to Glasgow in the 1970s.
