Ange Postecoglou rejected the notion Celtic served up their best pre-season showing yet in drawing with Legia Warsaw. Emotions ran high in Poland on Wednesday night as the Parkhead side took part in a testimonial friendly for club hero Artur Boruc as he bows out of the game.
Celtic were invited by Legia to take part in a celebration of the 42-year-old's career but the serious business of preparing a Premiership opener against Aberdeen in 10 days time was still very much on the manager's mind. The Hoops raced into a two-goal first-half lead thanks to Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda but a sloppy second, amid a raft of changes, allowed the Polish side to drag themselves level.
The Scottish champions served up some impressive attacking football in the opening 45 but looked susceptible to the counter-attack throughout. Speaking to Celtic TV, Postecoglou was asked if the opening period was his team's best performance of the summer yet. He replied: "No, that's looking at it half glass full, absolutely. There was some good football but we can be better - we will be better.
