The Match of the Day host reckons the Hoops hoodoo could be over before they know it.
Gary Lineker reckons Celtic have never been as close to getting over their Champions League hoodoo as they were against Atletico Madrid.
Former England hero Lineker believes the hoodoo was almost over against Atleti, and that the two goals from the talismanic Japanese and new-found favourite Palma were 'excellent'. The Match of the Day host was joined by Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer in heaping massive praise on the famously 'special' Celtic Park atmosphere. But he reckons progression is looking like a very difficult task.
"I’ve been to a few Champions League nights there when I covered them obviously for BT and, cor, that’s an atmosphere when it gets going. I saw them play Barcelona there are a couple of times, I think they won one of them actually, it’s special place. A draw against Atletico Madrid, it was a decent performance.”
