What Celtic Coach Gordon Strachan said after the match to the USA press

On what the team thought of tonight's game:
"We have not discussed the game with the players - we'll do that tomorrow. We'll sit down and analyze the game."

On each team's performance:
"D.C. United's energy in the second half was excellent, and as long as the game went on, [our] players felt less energy and drained. The coach's feedback is that the players feel very, very ragged and a bit tired, so that's disappointing. We're really disappointed for the Celtic fans that turned up tonight ... they'd like to see their team play a bit better."

On whether the team lacked chances:
"[No]. It's the lethargy really, and the passing. If you can't pass it right you'll never create chances, and if you're lethargic you'll give chances away. If you cure that then hopefully the other things will be cured: the chances and the defending.
