What the Celtic pundits said as Gordon Strachan highlights glass ceiling theory with quality 'not good enough'

Goals from Timo Werner and Emil Forsberg ensured it was a night to forget for Celtic as they lost 2-0 to RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

"It's about quality. He's getting as much out of these players as anybody can get out of them. You look at it; at crucial times,
