What they're saying

"
It wasn't the draw Celtic wanted to be in, but they have emerged from the Europa League supercomputer with a relatively kind result. Without doubt, the toughest task will be at the Estadio da Luz when the Scottish champions travel to Benfica. In Portugal, Marco Silva's side dismantled Hearts in qualifying, but they did draw at Tynecastle - though the tie was never in any doubt by then.
