Celtic grabbed their fourth point in three Champions League games after a gritty 0-0 draw with Europa League winners Atalanta in Bergamo.

While the Italians were much the better side in the first half, Brendan Rodgers' men defended like lions and it was much more even in the second 45.

It puts the Premiership leaders in prime position to qualify for the last 24 with three winnable home games to come.

Here's what various pundits had to say about a brilliant showcase of defending.

James McFadden (BBC)

"It's a fantastic result, it really is.

"Scales and Trusty were outstanding. The two of them didn't panic. Atalanta asked a lot of questions and Celtic had the answers."

"They've done so well tonight.

"So many moments in that game it felt like the pressure was similar to the Dortmund game.

"Dortmund got out of control very quickly, but this time Celtic could deal in the chaos, win the big headers, got a little bit of luck, and some big saves from Schmeichel.

"Once it got through to 70 minutes it felt like Atalanta ran out of ideas.

"Celtic as a complete squad, brilliant effort."

Pat Bonner (BBC)

"That was much more like it.

"Celtic got better in the second half. I thought they'd actually be under more pressure.

"They defended their box brilliantly.

"I've got to give credit to Brendan Rodgers and the staff, they got it absolutely right tonight."

Neil Lennon (TNT)

“I think this is so significant, not just for the players, but for Brendan as well,” said Lennon. “They can go away from home and be resolute. And be disciplined and see the game out.

“After 70 minutes, Atalanta ran out of ideas. I wouldn’t say it was comfortable, but Kasper didn’t have a lot to do in the second half. In the first half, he made some really great and important saves. I think, overall, it’s a fantastic night for the club.”
