Celtic manager Gordon Strachan admitted he would be happy with a draw against Villarreal in Spain.

The Scottish champions have lost 14 of their last 15 away games in the Champions League group stages and they have only managed one draw.

"They have good ability and they have got a great determination" - Gordon Strachan

Strachan said: "We know they're good and they're based on a South American mentality. That means they defend very well, they have good ability and they have got a great determination.

"There are only two results which will do us, either one point or three.

"A point wouldn't be a disaster, that's for sure.

"I'll be happier to get something from the game because they're top of their league now, they have drawn with Manchester United, they have got all their good players and they're a fantastic outfit."
