Milan secured a 4-3 away win at Siena on Saturday thanks to an injury time winner from Massimo Ambrosini. However it was Milan's defensive failings that stood out for Ancelotti.
"This was a good win, we showed good quality in attack and reacted well to avoid a 3-3 draw. However, the fact that Siena scored three times is not good.
"We made a few mistakes in defence. We must do better, because against Celtic our defence will be important."
Commenting on Ronaldo's performance, after the Brazilian netted a double for his new club, Ancelotti was more positive.
"He [Ronaldo] scored twice, he assisted Oliveira's goal and played the whole match. He took a few breaks, but this is normal.
"This has been an important performance for him and the team".
