Window to show our credentials is closing (Celtic Quick News)

I wish I could be more convincing, but the wind has gone out of Europe for me this season. Tonight, we play our final home Champions League game of the ...

Can we punish a defence that so effectively frustrated Leipzig? Can we defend against a proficient counter-attack team? Their 1-1 draw against Celtic, a game which Celtic bossed for the most part, now looks like their poorest performance, we can only look back in regret at what may have been.

And if I’m getting a better version of him here, that’s going to mean our progress will be accelerated.” That remains to be seen, of course, but Postecoglou hasn’t steered us wrong so far. If we’ve got players who move on because they have done fantastically well for us, that’s a helluva template.

Michael Smith uses Celtic performance as Hearts benchmark with ... (Scottish Daily Record)

The Tynecastle side are currently in an awful run of form but showed spirit in their recent defeat to Premiership leaders Celtic.

We are conceding silly goals but we are where we are and we need to start picking up points.” In the second half, I thought we stopped doing that and lost a little bit of energy from the first half. But Smith believes the qualities shown in Saturday's thriller against Ange Postecoglou's men shouldn't be met with such fanfare because it should be a given for any team. The Jam Tarts haven't won in six matches and were on the wrong end of a 4-3 thriller to Celtic at the weekend. We have to stick together and we will definitely get out of this rut. At Tynecastle, if we show the same energy, desire and bravery we showed against Celtic, I think we can come away with a result.
