'A period of silence will be held prior to kick-off, and the players will wear black armbands during the game, in memory of the 10 people who tragically lost their lives in Creeslough, County Donegal on Friday.'Sure enough, at a packed out Parkhead, ahead of a must-win Champions League clash for the Scots, the home fans belted out a rousing rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. The roof was then lifted off the stadium when the Champions League theme was played out. Following that, as both sides lined out before kick-off, here was an immaculately observed moment's silence. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1579911982702276608 Celtic had one point from their opening three games of Group F and went into the tie knowing they would most likely need to beat the German side if they were to have any chance of reaching the knock-out stages of the Champions League. After losing at home to Real Madrid in their opening game of the group, Angelos Postecoglou's side then drew with Shakhtar Donetsk before losing the away date against Leipzig. "It's human nature, particularly with the group we have," Postecoglou observed, when asked about his players being under pressure against experienced European outfits. "They're still experiencing something new. It’s by trying to show them that they have protection if things go wrong. I’ll take the responsibility for it. Don’t fear." Related links:
