Celtic: Fans say win over Leipzig was best display in decades

Prentice: The best Celtic performance I have witnessed since the 2003 Uefa Cup final season. Defensively, we were rigid. Cameron Carter-Vickers is the best defender we’ve had at the club since Virgil Van Dijk. Kuhn is doing an incredible job of proving the doubters of last season wrong. Dare I say we can have one eye on the top-eight.

Craig: It was a beautiful, magical night. From the noise at the Champions League anthem until the final whistle, the stadium was rocking and the players were at it. A memorable Champions League night that we haven’t seen in many a year. Not just the result but the performance.

Daithi: What an unbelievable performance by Celtic. They showed up finally in a Champions League tie. They were clinical at passing and closing down their opponents when they had to. Kuhn was unplayable. His finish for his first goal would have been talked about all night if it was Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo who had scored. Perfect performance from everyone on this great Celtic team.

Andy: Best Celtic display I’ve seen since the days of Chris Sutton, Henrik Larsson and co. The game management in the second half was incredible. Now we need to consolidate this by getting three points against Bruges.

Paul: The team have matured and just keep getting better. They learn their lessons from poor performances and correct their deficiencies with good coaching, dedication and tremendous work ethic.

Alan: Outstanding performance by Celtic! A few eyebrows will be raised across Europe.

Russell: The team played with a confidence and maturity that belied the fact that Dortmund had won comfortably and Leipzig were tipped for something similar. It’s a credit to Celtic that they dominated all but 10 minutes of the match and could have scored five or six.

Nickie: Breath-taking performance. Thought it was going to go from bad to worse when we went 1-0 down. Kuhn is a cracking player.

John: Great to see the manager learn from his mistakes in Dortmund and produce a performance where the team attacked when opportunities arose and professional in possession – so much so that the opposition ran out of ideas and the last 10 minutes.

Jude: Best European performance since the early noughties. Every player shone and kudos for sticking to their style of play against a top German side.

Edward: A real test of the team’s character and belief to go one down and come back to dominate the game and record a convincing win. The Leipzig players were a spent force with 10 minutes to go, run ragged by the sheer pace of the Celtic play. The one-touch passing was a joy to watch.
