WE NEED TO BATTER ON BHOYS

KASPER SCHMEICHEL allowed himself to hurt until midnight in Germany but insists Celtic should never forget their Borussia Dortmund drubbing.

And rather than bury the memory of their nightmare 7-1 mauling, the Dane is convinced something good might come of it.

Schmeichel attempted to put some kind of positive spin on Tuesday night's shocker, even though he knew it was a difficult task in the immediate aftermath.

The keeper's old man Peter was on media duties at the Signal Iduna Park and the Manchester United legend hung around in the bowels of the famous ground to give his lad a big hug at the end.

He looked like he needed it. The Celtic squad could have formed a queue to get a comforting cuddle from the big fella.

The embrace seemed to do the trick though and Schmeichel now reckons the Hoops need to keep the Dortmund demolition fresh in their minds as a lesson on what not to do in the Champions League challenges ahead.

He said: "It's a case of moving on very fast. The most important thing from a night like that is to learn from it. It can even be a good thing if you do. It's something to refer to now - remember that night.

"Remember what happened because if we are not 100 per cent on it for every single minute that's what can happen.

"I'm hoping we can turn it into a positive. That's our responsibility as the leadership group.

"That's life, that's football. This game has an incredible way of bringing you back down to earth sometimes.
