lad

"I think all the agency lads now have had enough and they just want to come out and stand for what's right."

"But I have to congratulate the lads. Whatever you say tactically at half-time, you still have to rely on them giving a great amount of physical effort and desire. We had bags of that."

One of those full-of-it lads is Luke McCowan, who was tasked with a slightly unfamiliar role out wide in Rotterdam and credited O'Neill for giving Celtic the confidence to take the game to Feyenoord.

"I don't get involved in private matters. I just know that Mason is a good lad," De Zerbi told reporters on Monday.

Next door, lads in vintage claret and blue begin to trot out and warm up.
