Liam McLeod of BBC Scotland overdosed on the bravery pills last night as he savoured Celtic’s Champions League defeat from Midtjylland.
According to McLeod it was a catastrophic defeat for Ange Postecoglou to deal with in just his second competitive match in charge of the club.
It was a huge defeat but as the Australian pointed out catastrophic it wasn’t. Celtic will survive, administration and liquidation are highly unlikely.

It was an unusually bold line of questioning from McLeod who is possibly still suffering from Scotland’s first round exit from the European Championships last month.
Given two home matches out of three and with three of the four group members qualifying for the knock-out stage the tournament had almost been created to ensure Scotland progressed.
McLeod and his BBC Scotland colleagues watched Scotland crumble at home to the Czech Republic and Croatia after the hysterics of winning a penalty shoot-out in Serbia.
Barely a cross word was put to Steve Clarke about Scotland’s toothless exit, last night McLeod found his fire as he challenged the Celtic boss is a way he wouldn’t dare go in on a Scotland manager.
One thing I will say about Postecoglou is that he treats the media with the contempt they deserve particularly when they conduct an interview in this way – the wording of those questions was embarrassing

When supporters at the Fanzine prresser said to Ange " We are your friends, that lot upstairs (mainstream media) are not your friends' this is exactly what they meant. #CelticFC
