2007-12-04: AC Milan 1-0 Celtic, Champions League
Quick Review
Celtic qualified for the second stage for the second year in a row, through the back door, relying on Benfica surprising everyone and winning away v Shaktar, putting the diving Ukrainian team at the bottom of the table when most expected them to qualify earlier on.
Anyhow, as for this game, tbh not much to write home about. Celtic were poor but still held out well enough, but some of the play by AC Milan was run of the mill and they scored a good goal. Scott Brown squandered a great chance to take the lead in the game, but it was all academic, and we go through with having won again no away games.

Milan star Seedorf praises Celtic
AC Milan's Dutch international midfielder Clarence Seedorf has told Celtic's players to believe in their own ability - and claimed anything can happen now the club are in the last-16 of the Champions League.
The 31-year-old, who counts Internazionale and Real Madrid among his former clubs, has won the Champions League four times and suggested Europe's premier club competition is better off for having Celtic in the knock-out stages.
The Sunday Mail quoted Seedorf as saying: "Celtic are always a credit, they play with their hearts. I'm happy they have qualified, they deserve it. I wish them luck in the next stage.
"They always give us a hard game, particularly in Glasgow. They have made it to the last-16 and anything can happen now. There are better teams still in the competition but Celtic must have faith in their own ability."
Seedorf notched up his 100th Champions League appearance when he played for AC Milan against Celtic at the San Siro last week. He has won the competition with Ajax, Real Madrid and twice with his current employers.
