The players gave me exactly what I expected of them, both the guys who have been here doing it for the last five years and the newer ones who stood shoulder to shoulder with them and didn't let them down. The vision I have for Celtic must include the heart and character they showed tonight but we also have to play better and get fitter.

I lived in England for 21 years and I know that everybody, apart from some of the teams that think they might get relegated, would love Celtic and Rangers to be in the English League. I think it will happen eventually.

It would be good for everybody, although we would have to make sure the rest of the Scottish league would be safe and prosper.

We have to watch what we do in the first 10 or 15 minutes because we don't want to end the tie, or make it even more impossible than it is, by losing a goal right away.

The biggest disappointment for me is that I will have to wait until next year until we have nights like this again.

It wasn't an easy decision to leave out Bobo, because I could have done that with two or three from the back four. But there's a limit to the players you have and the changes you can make. The reality is we're not defending well enough. But we just have to plug on. There's no magic formula.

The manner in which we lost the goals is a concern.

I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt to finish by today, the expiry date is today.

We went over the goals again with the players this morning.
