A night at the theatre for Celtic: The Musical was the perfect way for Ange Postecoglou to unwind after the previous pulsating evening in Poland.
But while the Hoops boss enjoyed the sing-song and mingling with the punters, there’s no doubt it’s putting on a show on the biggest of stages that gets his juices flowing. Postecoglou and his side may have only a point on the board from their opening two Champions League matches.
But the performances suggested there’s excitement on the way in the second and third acts, with the RB Leipzig double-header up next before Shakhtar Donetsk come to Glasgow and they finish up with an encore in the Bernabeu against Real Madrid. Celtic haven’t missed a line in the dress rehearsals in the domestic game and are out to maintain the hit rate away to St Mirren on Sunday. But Postecoglou admitted it was nice to pause for breath on Thursday as he caught the opening night of the latest run of the Hoops stage show at the SEC Armadillo on the back of the thrilling 1-1 with Shakhtar Donetsk just 24 hours earlier.
