Ange Postecoglou says he is determined to bridge the Euro gap and repay the Celtic fans after their rapturous Real Madrid send-off.
The Aussie boss watched his troops scrap with the Spaniards before the Kings of Europe wore them down to win the Group F opener at Parkhead. However, despite the defeat, Postecoglou and his players were chanted off the pitch at full-time by a support proud and appreciative of the way their heroes went at and performed against the trophy holders.
The manager says the display and the reaction has only doubled his desire and determination to have his club fighting with the best on a regular basis. Asked if he took pride from such warmth at the end, he said: “No, I just feel the responsibility of bringing this football club to this level. That’s what these fans deserve. There is no starker reminder of that than the reception they gave us after the game.
