Auston Trusty has become a cornerstone of Celtic’s backline and enjoyed another solid performance at home to Club Brugge in midweek.
Continuing the feel good factor, the Bhoys now move up to eight Champions League points from their opening five matches as progression to the knockout rounds draws closer.
At home, you expect to be dominant even against similarly billed sides. However, Celtic had to ride the wave of sustained pressure from the visitors before being able to launch their comeback in the second half via Daizen Maeda.
Throwing his body on the line, Auston Trusty made a number of crucial challenges and interceptions to keep his side above water before the Bhoys secured a point against Brugge.
Composing himself on a night that could’ve taken a turn in the opposite direction, the United States international has now taken to Instagram to sum up his post-match feelings.

Posting on social media, Trusty shared his love for the support his side received against Brugge and vowed that the Bhoys will dust themselves down to go again against Ross County tomorrow.
Accompanying a selection of pictures from the clash, he sent the message: “UCL nights at Celtic Park. We go again on Saturday #TrustyTheProcess.”
Following his £6 million move from Sheffield United in the summer, Trusty has swiftly established himself as a fan favourite and has now made 14 appearances in green and white.
Next up for the Bhoys is a home test against Ross County, where you would suspect the 26-year-old has done more than enough to retain his place.
Celtic move on to the task of toppling Ross County
Post-European matches always come with the risk of a hangover, so you would assume changes could be in the offing to freshen up the starting line-up.
Ross County come into this one eighth in the Scottish Premiership standings under Don Cowie, but Brendan Rodgers may opt to shuffle his pack ahead of a huge clash at Pittodrie the following Wednesday.
While alterations may be part of his plans, it is hard to imagine Trusty will drop out amid his superb recent displays.
