Three defeats in the group phase of the Champions League had taken it’s toll but despite recent set-backs the fans filled Celtic Park with optimism and enthusiasm.
Zenit had been built up as world beaters, manager Roberto Mancini is from the top drawer but with a driven manager, a hungry group of players and the backing of the support the odds can be upset.
Recently it appears to have inspired opponents but last night it was Advantage Celtic as this team put down a marker that 2018 has more European highlights to enjoy than 2017.
