It's the morning after the night before as Celtic head back to Glasgow with a huge Champions League point. Brendan Rodgers' men put their Dortmund horror show from matchday two behind them and delivered a defensive masterclass as they frustrated Atalanta to bag what could be a massive result in their quest to reach the knockout stages.

The home side huffed and puffed in their search for a breakthrough but could not break down the Scottish champions with Kasper Schmeichel, Auston Trusty and Liam Scales providing a real solid base at the heart of the side that would not be beaten.

Hoops boss Rodgers was battered for his approach in the backyard of the German giants - but he executed the perfect game plan in Bergamo and he was full of praise for his troops in his post-match comments.

The media across Europe also sat up and took note of Celtic's exploits at the home of the current Europa League holders as they provided their assessment on the showdown.
