Celtic picked up a priceless point in Italy on Wednesday night but Callum McGregor knew it was just as important to make one as well.
The Hoops were badly wounded by that infamous evening on the Rhine a few weeks ago. They headed to Dortmund bursting with hope and enthusiasm – convinced they were about to finally give one of the big boys a bloody nose.
Instead they ended up flat on their faces. Borussia were ruthless and the seven-goal savaging left Celts severely embarrassed.
McGregor knew it was a bad night. But he always felt it wasn’t a true reflection of this Celtic side. He was also well aware they had to prove it against Atalanta and the battered pride needed to be restored.
