You may admire the man’s honesty even if you don’t admire the man himself. David Healy spoke candidly about the uphill battle his side face at Celtic Park this evening, hoping his players can pull off a performance that won’t be humiliating.

Celtic only scored two against Linfield on Friday, but with 27 shots on goal with 13 of them on target, it was down to some good goalkeeping and a bit of luck that Linfield only conceded two.

The Irish club now come to Glasgow in the hope they can stifle Celtic anyway they can.

This is what David Healy had to say.

“We don’t want to be lambs to the slaughter. We’ll be positive when we have possession, but we’ll also need to be organised and disciplined, which the players to their great credit were last Friday night. For Celtic to not score a goal for 70 minutes, with the quality they have, was a huge credit to the players.”

Celtic are expected to cruise into the next round this evening with a two goal and home advantage. It will be Rosenborg or Dundalk next up for the Scottish Champions.

  1. You may admire the man’s honesty is the first line in this peice. Is that a joke ?
    He lied for almost a week about not seeing Leigh Griffiths have coins and bottles fired at him. This clown doesn’t know what the word means, he’s an embarrassing excuse for a manager. Admire and honesty in the same sentence with david healys name in it I don’t think so. Hail Hail

  2. Aye you are right there my friend, then they try and make out that it was Leigh Griffiths that caused it all, can they not get into the spirit of the game and join in with a bit of banter, there is no excuse what so ever for the fact that Leigh got buckie bottles and all manner of nonsense thrown at him, it is diabolical then that the poor guy even gets booked and has to miss a game because of simple minded thugs that go on and spoil the game for everyone else, even without travelling fans, there was still more atmosphere at the hoops end than there was at the other end, but it just proves,the better team won. COYBIG. xx And me being a wee Yorkshire lass too, you don’t have that nonsense at a cricket or rugby game, come on guys, man up and just admit defeat. xx
