This missing’s Haking us off!
a last-gasp winner just moments af ter St Johnstone had levelled.
The lack of a cutting edge has also hurt them in Europe where Ange Postecoglou’s men have collected just a point from three group games.
So Haksabanovic, whose cross forced Andy Considine into a own goal yesterday, admits Celtic’s forwards need to hit the training ground ahead of the midweek visit of Leipzig.
The Montenegro star said: “It would have been extremely frustrating if we hadn’t won because we had a lot of chances that we didn’t score from.
‘That last goal made us feel joy and relief. After training, though, we need to do extra on shooting and finishing.
“No matter who we play, we feel we are going to make chances but we should have made this game 3-0 earlier and then just played it out.
“You have to be really clinical at Champions League level. That is why I am saying we maybe have to stay behind in training. All of us.
“We need to focus on finishing so that when we do get chances, we are 100 per cent that we are going to score.”
Leipzig ran out comfortable 3-1 victors over Celtic in Germany but Haksabanov ic reckons the Hoops can topple the Bundesliga giants back at Parkhead.
He said: “I’d say we can win – 100 per cent. We are playing at home, the fans are going to give us that amazing atmosphere and it is going to feel so good.
“If we go out and give 100 per cent and believe in ourselves, we have a good chance. We made chances in Germany so we are capable.”
Capta in Cal lum McGregor was crocked in the first leg and will be sidelined until after the World Cup.
Haksabanovic admits it’s a blow and said: “He is a big piece of the team, on and off the pitch, but I know he is going to be there for us. He will be there to cheer us but we have to show we can play without him as well.”
Gaffer Postecoglou insists the signs of success were written large in Celtic’s last-gasp win in Perth.
Considine’s own-goal had given the champions a half-time lead before Alex Mitchell levelled on 92 minutes.
Giakoumakis saved the day and Postecoglou is adamant another game with a host of missed chances isn’t a concern.
He said: “You can win in many ways but I think winning it this way also provides us confidence in the fact we still have that sort of resilience.
“At the beginning of the year we were putting everything away and now we’re going through a patch where we’re not as clinical.
“We’re going to have to show that character if we want to be successful. Credit to the players, they did it.”
There was a welcome return for Cameron Carter-Vickers in Perth and Postecoglou said: “It was good to get Cam back in, the 90 minutes will do him good.”
The Australian also confirmed the half-time substitution of winger Jota wasn’t due to an injury concern.
