Just in: Alexandro Bernabei of Newcastle is pursuing 25-year-old Celtic attacker Nicolas Kuhn.
As Celtic defeated YB Bern 1-0, Callum McGregor once again delivered a superb performance on the European front, guaranteeing Celtic’s spot in the UEFA Champions League play-off round.
In his 101st European appearance for the team, the Hoops captain led a commanding display against their Swiss rivals, especially in the first half when there were three goals disallowed and a penalty missed among numerous other opportunities.
Only five minutes remained when YB Basel captain Loris Benito bundled Adam Idah’s first blocked attempt into the goal. It was the game-winning goal. In an interview with Celtic TV, McGregor declared: “I’m so proud of all the boys. It was a fantastic effort right up to this point.” “I thought we were excellent, especially in the first half. We had three goals disallowed, which showed our authority in the game, and I thought we were well on top at that point.” “The game changed a little bit in the second half, which you expect, but credit to the boys.” It was a well-deserved goal and victory.
“They stayed in the game and committed to the task, and we knew that eventually the momentum would shift again and we would have another chance.
“I’m so proud of the boys; it’s fantastic that the club is playing in the knockout stages once more. We obviously have one more game against Aston Villa to see where we can finish.”
