Auston Trusty issues Celtic dressing room verdict after Dinamo Zagreb draw as defender names Hoops' world-class saviour

Celtic defender Auston Trusty has admitted that the Hoops are 'upset' with their point away at Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday - though he stopped to issue particular praise to Kasper Schmeichel by dubbing the Dane as 'world-class'.

Brendan Rodgers' men travelled to Croatia with a spring in their step, knowing Zagreb had a depleted side and having failed to win at home since September, there was a chance to inflict further pain on the capital side.

That didn't happen, despite a couple of half-chances in which Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah came close - and despite it being a point on the board, Trusty still wanted more from the attacking stars in the side.

Speaking to TNT Sports, the American international said: “Yeah, we’ll take the point, but we came here for three points. I think we’ll be pretty upset in the locker rom but to get a point away from home, it’s still good. I think we should have got three.

“We were aiming to win, of course, but it didn’t end up falling our way and we didn’t take advantage of set-pieces. We could have done more and we had 10 set-pieces, so yeah, it was an opportunity for us to get three points and we got one point.

“It was a solid performance from the team. We want to get points away from home and we achieved that . We wanted to get more from the game but we didn’t and we move on. That’s football. Sometimes they had momentum too, and if the game is tight, sometimes we have to take a breath and get our composure back.

“Kasper is class. He’s world-class, he’s saved us a bunch of times and it’s great to have him behind me. We’re playing our game and every opportunity we get, we’re showing we’re a good team and we deserve to be here and we can play in this competition. We have two more games to go and we’re confident.”
