Ange Postecoglou insists there is NO glass ceiling for Celtic in Europe whether that be the Europa League or Champions League.
The Hoops returned to Europe's top table this season after reclaiming the Premiership title from Rangers last term. They were placed in a section alongside Real Madrid, RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk and are so far sitting bottom of the group with just one point from four games. They are back in action tonight as they bid for that first win and to keep hopes of playing European football after Christmas alive.
Postecoglou has refused to change from his attacking 'Angeball' philosophy in Europe and he believes there is 'great merit' in doing things that people don't expect. The Celtic faithful will be out in their numbers once again for another European night under the lights at Parkhead and their boss won't have any chat about glass ceilings insisting he has broken through that many that he knows that there is no such thing.

He said: "You talk about glass ceilings, well what are the chances of an Australian coach managing in the Champions League?
"I’ve broken through so many glass ceilings that I know that they don’t really exist - they only exist in your own ambitions - whether that is Europa League or Champions League.
"My thing is to say that if a football club of our size goes out there and plays football that everyone talks about, irrespective of the opposition, wouldn’t that be a great thing?
"A club like Celtic is playing the biggest clubs in the world and people are talking about how we are playing, I think there is something in that.
“With that, you obviously want success and you want to win games of football, but I think there is great merit in doing things that people don’t expect you to do.
"And why not for Scottish clubs? Why not for us? I see no reason why we can’t do it."
