PSV steal precious point in one sided Glasgow thriller

Garry Crawford took his Struggling PSV side to Glasgow to face high flying Celtic on Saturday hoping that their new found optimism would continue after his dramatic change of tactics ended a dismall run of 5 defeats in 6 games last wednesday, when a 54th minute Santos strike earned them all 3 points in a much needed win at home to Cruziero.
With Celtic sitting 3rd top and PSV sitting 3rd bottom in the current league standings, the Dutch cracks were going to need to be at their best to get anything from the game and avoid the type of defeat that the Celtic fans would no doubt be expecting
With the memory of last seasons 1-0 away win, in a result that kickstarted their sensational relegation avoiding run, PSV went into the match injury free and without the over riding fear that most visiting teams have when they face the Bhoys in front of their own fans.
Crawford knows the biggest factor in Glasgow is the incredible home support and told SMnews today that 'the biggest factor facing away teams going to Celtic Park is that incredible 12th man and the amazing lift they give their team over the opposition, but this team have went their before and taken all 3 points from them when they were going for promotion, my players were fearless that day and i just had to make sure i had them in the same frame of mind before they crossed the line on saturday'
Celtic, playing their normal 4-2-3-1-B formation, started the brighter and had the visitors on the backfoot almost straightaway but despite the huge share of possession (65%), the Dutch side managed to keet the game at 0-0 as the teams went off at the break.
The second half started in much the same way as the first half did with the visitors under constant pressure from Celtic's attractive pressinge game until a moment of magic stunned the Glasgow crowd into silence once again when Camara fired them into the lead in the 59th minute.
Celtic upped the tempo almost immediately and pressed relentlessly for the equaliser and were rewarded with a well taken goal in the 81st minute from Chadli who was on the recieving end of a world class through ball from Saponara.
Celtic continued to press as they looked for the second goal to claim the 3 points their attacking play deserved, but the Scottish giants were dealt a hammer blow in the 87th minute when a two footed tackle by Paulinho on Stanovik earned the Brazilian midfielder a red card which seemed to knock the stuffing out of the home side allowing PSV some well needed breathing space as they played out the remainder of the game.
This result sees Celtic fall out of the top 4 and takes PSV to within 2 points of Marsailles who they play next on wednesday.
