Ange Postecoglou believes Scotland’s top flight should NOT have artificial pitches.
The Celtic boss prepared his side on plastic ahead of Sunday's Premiership clash on Kilmarnock’s Astroturf at Rugby Park. The Aussie coach understands the financial reasons why clubs have them. But Postecoglou says the style of play he adopts on grass can’t be replicated on plastic. After seeing other countries ditch artificial pitches, he’d like to see the Scottish Premiership do likewise. And he insists fans are being short changed because the quality of football on show is better on grass.
Before the Hoops’ trip to Ayrshire, Postecoglou said: “I’ve experienced them in the past, at international level when I was Australia boss. We had to go to certain countries where that was all they had. I understand the reasoning behind it but do I like them? No, I think they change the game. Do I think the top league should have them?
