 Strachan was thankful for the brilliance of Nakamura |
Celtic manager Gordon Strachan was full of praise for hat-trick hero Shunsuke Nakamura after the win at Tannadice. "He's a top, top player," Strachan told BBC Sport. "And for half and hour out there he was totally untouchable.
"We fell behind but the way the players set about getting back into the game was just fantastic.
"We gave our midfielders more space by working on our shape and Jiri (Jarosik) and our full-backs were excellent and always a threat."
Strachan was without Thomas Gravesen, Aiden McGeady and Maciej Zurawski through injury.
And the manager revealed that the Danish midfielder was a serious doubt for Tuesday's Champions League match with Benfica.
