The Scottish Premiership champions lost 7-1 against Borussia Dortmund, and if it wasn’t for Kasper Schmeichel, the margin could’ve even been greater.

Celtic tried to emulate the way that works so successfully domestically but last seasons competition runner’s-up were just far too superior in every position.

That’s since led to pundits and supporters questioning why the Northern Irishman doesn’t tweak his style when facing opponents that are expected to be a significant challenge for his squad.

“We play how we play, it’s the same plaudits that are commending our performances over the last number of months that allow us to get into this game with this incredible optimism that we can get a result.
