AUSTON Trusty has revealed how the impromptu Huddle which the Celtic players formed during their Champions League encounter with Club Brugge tonight gave them the wake-up call they needed and helped to spark their fightback. And the centre-half revealed that he and his team mates had all let Cameron Carter-Vickers know they were firmly behind him after the own goal he scored to give the visitors the lead in the league phase match at Parkhead. The Scottish champions' players come together as a team to listen to a pep talk from their captain Callum McGregor before kick-off in every game – but this evening they did so immediately after their opponents had gone ahead for the first time ever. However, Trusty, the United States internationalist who moved to Glasgow from Sheffield United in a £6m transfer during the summer, felt that it helped the hosts, who equalised through Daizen Maeda in the second half and drew the match 1-1, to regroup. “They are clearly a good side,” he said. “We didn't start off as strong, as fast as we normally do, so they kind of got on top of us in the first half. But in the second half we changed things and we saw how the game shifted into our favour. “We just weren't playing in our character in the first half, so I think we all felt it. Sometimes you need that little huddle to wake everybody up and say, ‘Okay, what's happened has happened, now we can move on from it’. So that was a moment for us to make some changes and get some momentum back in the game." Asked what the message to Carter-Vickers had been, Trusty said: “We have his back. I don't think any defender, any player, wants that to happen to him. But, you know, sometimes it's part of football . I've had own goals as well, so it's one where you need a team mate to get your back. “The game happened so fast, so I'm not in that position. I'm looking away, I'm also looking, I'm trying to find my next pass as well. So I have to go back and watch it. But either way, he made the decision and we have his back. “So I went over to him, made sure his head was up. With all of us, he knows that we have his back. You don't want to make mistakes, but you feel fine to make mistakes, because you know your team mates have your back. “I haven't been here for the whole time he's been here, but I don't think anybody would try to do that or let that happen. But we bounced back. He showed his character and also the team showed its character. We bounced back and the game went on and we had plenty of life left in it.” Trusty also revealed the Celtic players had been angry that they failed to beat Brugge and pick up another three Champions League points when they returned to their dressing room at full-time – even though the draw kept them in the top 24 of the table and on course for the knockout round play-off. “I've been in locker rooms when you get away from this kind of game and guys are excited,” he said. “But you go back in the locker room tonight and see guys p****d off and really, really upset and that shows a lot of the character that’s in the team. “We weren't happy with how we played in the first half, but we thought that we should have won this game and it was a real opportunity for us, not just to get one point but to get three points. Obviously, you take the point, but it's good to see that guys are angry going into the locker room and sitting there just quiet. “That's the level we play at and that's the level of the team. When we train, it’s the same level. We have to keep it that way because if you make a mistake, you may do something and you get punished. Even in training, it’s just as intense as the games, if not more intense. “We train that way and that's the level we're at and I think we've shown that we have the quality and we can play with any team and we back ourselves. We're confident and the team's confident. We know our ability and we've shown to you guys but also shown to ourselves that we're here. So we’re in good shape.”Dolby Laboratories executive sells $841,907 in stockMorning Bid: Tech stocks drag US indexes lower as tariff talk clouds markets

McCoy only saved $30 in blueberries this year because her patch is still growing. EASIEST VEGETABLE STIR-FRY RECIPE EVER, SAYS FOUNDER OF LITTLE KITCHEN ACADEMY "But I know they'll pay off big time in the future," she said. "Tomatoes were the real money-maker," McCoy also said. "I saved $890." Among the vegetables grown in McCoy's garden: peppers, beans and tomatoes (shown above).

Walt Disney World has released a photo of singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves during her recent visit to the Magic Kingdom, which was her first time at the resort, she said. Musgraves, who posed with Minnie Mouse near Cinderella Castle, was in Central Florida for a concert at the Kia Center in downtown Orlando last week. She talked about her Disney World visit during the show, saying that her favorite attraction was Seven Dwarfs Mine Train , a roller coaster in Fantasyland. Disney also posted a video interview with Musgraves on social media, in which she was posted several rapid-fire questions, including “which bear are you trading outfits with?” in reference to this year’s Country Bear Musical Jamboree makeover. She opted for the look of the trio Bunny, Bubbles and Beulah. “They’re kind of fierce,” she said. Asked for her favorite things about Disney parks, she replied “The joy, the merch, the snacks, the cleanliness. ... So clean.” She also was asked about her favorite Disney snacks. “Gaston. ... I mean, the Beast before he turned into man,” Musgraves quipped. “I’m just kidding. Churros.” Musgraves has won seven Grammy Awards. Her Deeper Well tour had 30 dates since September, including stops in Orlando, Tampa and Hollywood, Florida. It will pick up next year in Arizona. dbevil@orlandosentinel.com

Duck Creek Technologies Aprofunda Liderança Global em Vendas com Nomeações Estratégicas na América do Norte, EMEA e APACNEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes are drifting lower Tuesday in the runup to the highlight of the week for the market, the latest update on inflation that’s coming on Wednesday. The S&P 500 dipped by 0.2% in late trading, a day after pulling back from its latest all-time high . The index is on track for its first back-to-back losses in more than three weeks, as momentum slows following a big rally that has it on track for one of its best years of the millennium . The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down by 7 points, or less than 0.1%, with roughly an hour remaining in trading, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.3%. Tech titan Oracle dragged on the market and sank 7.8% after reporting growth for the latest quarter that fell just short of analysts’ expectations. It was one of the heaviest weights on the S&P 500, even though CEO Safra Catz said the company saw record demand related to artificial-intelligence technology for its cloud infrastructure business, which trains generative AI models. AI has been a big source of growth that’s helped many companies’ stock prices skyrocket. Oracle’s stock had already leaped nearly 81% for the year coming into Tuesday, which raised the bar of expectations for its profit report. C3.ai fell 2.1% despite reporting a smaller loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The AI software company increased its forecast for how big a loss it expects to take this fiscal year from its operations. In the bond market, Treasury yields ticked higher ahead of Wednesday’s report on the inflation that U.S. consumers are feeling. Economists expect it to show roughly similar increases as the month before. That and a report on Thursday about inflation at the wholesale level will be the final big pieces of data the Federal Reserve will get before its meeting next week, where many investors expect the year’s third cut to interest rates . The Fed has been easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high since September to lift the slowing jobs market, after bringing inflation nearly down to its 2% target. Lower rates would help give support to the economy, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.22% from 4.20% late Monday. Even though the Fed has been cutting its main interest rate, mortgage rates have been more stubborn and have been volatile since the autumn. That has hampered the housing industry, and homebuilder Toll Brothers’ stock fell 5.2% even though it beat analysts’ expectations for profit and revenue in the latest quarter. CEO Douglas Yearley Jr. said the luxury builder has been seeing strong demand since the start of its fiscal year six weeks ago, an encouraging signal as it approaches the beginning of the spring selling season in mid-January Elsewhere on Wall Street, Alaska Air Group soared 13.6% after raising its forecast for profit in the current quarter. The airline said demand for flying around the holidays has been stronger than expected. It also approved a plan to buy back up to $1 billion of its stock, along with new service from Seattle to Tokyo and Seoul . Boeing climbed 5.2% after saying it's resuming production of its bestselling plane , the 737 Max, for the first time since 33,000 workers began a seven-week strike that ended in early November. Vail Resorts rose 2.7% after the ski resort operator reported a narrower first-quarter loss than expected in what is traditionally its worst quarter. In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed in China after the world’s second-largest economy said its exports rose by less than expected in November. Stocks rose 0.6% in Shanghai but fell 0.5% in Hong Kong. AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.
