Caldwell takes the positives

Hamburg's 2-0 win over Rapid Vienna in the other Group C fixture took them top with 10 points, one more than Hapoel, and made Celtic's trip to Vienna on December 17 a redundant final fixture.Greece striker Georgios Samaras gave Celtic the lead midway through the first half and Barry Robson added a second after the break but it was too little too late.Celtic had lost 2-1 away to the Israeli side in the opening group game in September before fighting out draws against Rapid Vienna and Hamburg while suffering a home defeat to the Bundesliga side, all games in which the Parkhead side could arguably have gathered more points.Hamburg and Hapoel are through to the knockout stages but Caldwell said: "We have no regrets. You can't look back in football."We are disappointed to be out but we knew beforehand that qualification was a long shot."We just wanted to win this game and we did that. On those other nights we weren't good enough to pick up the points and as I said, we can't dwell on what happened in this competition, that's in the past now, they are through so good luck to them."We are out of this competition so we have to focus on the SPL."The performances in our last two games have been good, it could have been more than 2-0, and we have to keep that going."
