Celtic's Strachan rues previous slips

Soccer Betting Lines

12/11/2008 - Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Celtic manager Gordon Strachan was left to rue previous dropped points after it ended its Champions League group stage campaign with 2-0 win over Villarreal.

The Bhoys were already resigned to finishing at the bottom of Group E and missing out on qualification for the last 16 or even the UEFA Cup after failing to win any of their previous five games.

But first-half goals from Shaun Maloney and Aiden McGeady ensured the Scottish champions signed off in style.

"We had a penalty at home against Aalborg and [if we scored] we win the game and that's three points," reflected Strachan. "We did enough in Aalborg to win the game, everybody in this room whom I met has said we deserved to win.

"We had a smashing performance against Villarreal away and we were six minutes away from beating against Manchester United here, although we obviously had our backs to the wall.

"If you look at that then you can count up a few points that went missing. But the longer we stay as a group the better it is for everybody.

"If we stay together and don't have to sell anybody, then that will be smashing."
