The the guy who said they shouldn't be in the knockout stage is probably just pissed they beat barca, they were solid throughout, I admire what they've accomplished spending within their means and keeping it in the black on a very limited budget compared to other CL sides.

That's not the reason I feel that way, if I recall correctly Barca still won their group. I honestly think that Celtic are undeserving of being in the knockout stage. If they had any sort of talent they would be heading into the return leg with an advantage but as it stands, their time in the knockout stage is pretty much over.
As for the Juve defender. They Juventus defender was there protecting his keeper and giving him a chance to maneuver around the Celtic forward they sent in to stand in front of or right beside Buffon.
I would have gained perhaps an ounce of respect for Celtic's tactics had they taken out Ambrose. They guy was completely useless out there, missing a header with no Juve defenders around him, blocking a shot from his own teammate while attacking and being completely out to lunch on defense. The Celtic manager was too concerned being a drama queen on the sidelines rather than accurately making changes.
