Ange Postecoglou reckons Reo Hatate will be telling him how easy it is to play in defence after his stunning showing against St Johnstone.
The Japanese midfielder, who normally shows his skill and composure in the Celtic engine room, was tasked with playing in the right-back role due to an injury suffered by Anthony Ralston in midweek that left the Hoops with no recognised right-sided defender. And the fan favourite not only did a stellar defensive job but also bagged two sweet goals to help Postecoglou's men on the way to a big three points.
Postecoglou, who admits he had to get creative with his team selection, says he had no fear about putting Hatate in as the youngster did play in that slot previously as a youth and for his country. The Hoops boss also revealed his delight at the 4-1 victory and admits he has a 'luxury' with this side.
