After the heartache suffered against Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening, Celtic need to pick themselves up for the trip to Hibs this weekend.

Celtic agonisingly lost 3-2 on aggregate to the German giants as Alphonso Davies’ late goal sent the Bhoys out of the Champions League at the knockout play-offs phase.

Brendan Rodgers described his Hoops stars as ‘heroic’ while Premier League legend Alan Shearer said Celtic were one clinical striker away from last 16 progression.

The post-match fallout will continue but for Celtic, attention must turn back to their relentless assault for a fourth Premiership title in a row.
