Celtic positively roared into the World Cup break. It’s crucial for Ange Postecoglou and his team to ensure they come screaming back out the traps at full pelt today in Aberdeen to show that hold ups and stoppages won’t be halting their momentum in terms of the title race.
It’s hard to know how the World Cup shutdown is going to affect teams in terms of their form and whether it changes the course of their respective seasons. Put it this way, if the Premiership hadn’t stopped when it did and the pattern continued in the way it was unfolding, the title race could have been over by the time Santa Claus got his white beard dirty sliding down the chimney.
But it did and, from a Celtic perspective, they must make sure they are stamping their authority on it all once again starting at Pittodrie. I’ve no doubt that Postecoglou has the squad and the set-up to ensure that happens, no matter any effects of the World Cup halt.
