Celtic midfielder Kayal still gunning for Champions League progress

Beram Kayal is confident that Celtic can still qualify for the next phase of the Champions League.

The Bhoys lost 1-0 to Ajax in Amsterdam on Wednesday night which pushed them to bottom place in Group H but midfielder Kayal feels they can overcome the two-point deficit to second-placed AC Milan who are one point ahead of Ajax who sit third. Barcelona appear to have top spot wrapped up.

"We look to the next match against AC Milan. We'll do our best and hopefully we can win as three points would put us in a good position going to Barcelona for the final match," the Israeli side.

"They have already qualified and that might make it easier for us.

"The manager (Neil Lennon) has given us belief and we still feel we can qualify as there are two games and six points to play for - anything is possible."
