Ange Posteoglou says the importance of Celtic’ s trip to Australia means none of his Scotland stars will be joining Steve Clarke’s squad for Turkey.
The Parkhead club are heading Down Under next week for the Sydney Super Cup and games against locals Sydney FC and English Premier League Everton. A week tonight, Scotland face Turkey in a friendly international in Diyarbakir. Clarke will announce his squad for that match today, but Parkhead aces such as Greg Taylor, Anthony Ralston and David Turnbull won’t be included. Postecoglou explained: “From our perspective, the Australian trip is an important part of our football club and we want to take our strongest possible team there.
“We will always be supportive of the national team and Steve Clarke has always been great with us in terms of his relationship with the club. But all of our players who won’t be going to the World Cup will be coming with us.
