Strachan: We're men not boys
06 Nov 2008 - 08:22:55
Celtic manager Gordon Strachan praised the efforts of his injury-hit side in their 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United in the Champions League.
Scott McDonald's goal looked like handing the Bhoys a famous victory, before Ryan Giggs headed home an equaliser with time running out at Celtic Park.
Afterwards, Strachan hailed his players, who had come in for some stern criticism ahead of the game.
He told The Herald: "I am glad the night is over. I am happy at 1-1. I am happy we gave them a good game. I am happy that we are not boys, whatever some people say.
"We are men. You cannot play like that if you are not men.
"With a wee bit of luck, it could have been an incredible upset. We made them work for it and I thought it was going to be one of those glorious nights.
"They are a million miles ahead of us technically. They have some of the best players in the world.
"But we should never be called boys. Boys don't fight like that."
