The upshot, though, is one Rodgers and his players would have taken at the start of Group B: they remain in pole position for a Europa League last-32 place after Christmas. For all there was defensive aberration here, Celtic performed with a style and attitude which meant they were deservedly applauded from the field even in defeat.
