Tactical breakdown: LASK vs Celtic. Will Celtic park the bus against LASK? On The Football Show, Tam McManus warns that Celtic's Champions League playoff tie is not as safe as the 3-0 first-leg lead suggests. Despite winning 3-0 at Celtic Park, he thought LASK were excellent and unlucky, created chances, and believes Celtic will have to defend strongly - and probably still need to score - to see out the tie in Austria and reach the Champions League group stage.
WHY ISN'T CELTIC'S 3-0 LEAD SAFE?
Tam McManus felt LASK were really good in Glasgow and unfortunate to lose 3-0, creating a lot of chances. He expects them to threaten in the second leg, so Celtic must defend strongly rather than simply sit on the lead.
DO CELTIC NEED TO SCORE IN AUSTRIA?
He thinks so - an away goal would settle the nerves and all but confirm Celtic's place in the Champions League group stage.
