The inside track on the football stories that matter
Celtic defender Auston Trusty has ‘got something about him’ after his impressive display in their 0-0 Champions League draw with Atalanta on Wednesday ., former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie was deeply impressed with the 26-year-old’s display against the Italian side, especially given the fact he’s playing out of position to accommodate Liam Scales, 26.
Brendan Rodgers’ side were able to put their humiliating 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the previous round behind them to secure a vital point in Italy. With four points from their first three games in the new Champions League league phase, the Glasgow giants have a real chance of making the knock-out rounds for the first time since 2012-13.With Scales alongside Trusty and an imperious Kasper Schmeichel in goal, Atalanta struggled against a stubborn Celtic defense, despite enjoying 66 percent possession and recording 22 total shots.
Trusty was busy throughout the 90 minutes, making 18 defensive actions, winning three duels, and having a 92 per cent pass accuracy rate.“I’m very happy for the boys, they cut out a lot of the things they did against Dortmund, the stupid mistakes”,“They cut them out tonight and it was great, I thought they could have nicked it when Kyogo came on in the second half and he made runs a couple of times.
“To a man, all 16 of them were great and that was Trusty’s best game for Celtic, that was his best game since coming in.
