Ange Postecoglou in honest Celtic assessment as he insists fiery Rapid Vienna clash was 'exactly what we needed'

It was an eventful evening in Vienna as Celtic faced Rapid Wien in their second pre season friendly of the summer.

After a convincing 7-0 victory over Wiener Viktoria, the Hoops were looking for more of the same. Ange Postecoglou was provided with the opportunity to see a huge 21 members of his squad in action at the Allianz Stadium in Austria this evening after making 10 changes at the break. Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers were given their first run-outs since penning a permanent Parkhead deal with newbie Alexandro Bernabei part of the starting squad, too.

The Hoops thought they had their second win on a bounce in the bag before a last minute equaliser gave the home side their third goal to level up the scoring. And along with six goals, the friendly clash saw some feisty action. It certainly seemed like there was something to play for as the sides battled it out in front of more than 9,000 fans.
