Ange Postecoglou has delivered his reaction to Yuki Kobayashi's first taste of action at Celtic as he outlined the plan for the defender over the next period.
The Hoops enjoyed a week of downtime away from Lennoxtown before jetting out to the Algarve for a period of intense training ahead of their return to Premiership action as they bid to successfully retain their league crown they won from Rangers last term. They hold a nine point advantage at the summit going into the second period of the campaign.
Ahead of their trip to Aberdeen next week, the Scottish champions rounded off their trip to Portugal with a friendly against French outfit Rennes. The Ligue 1 side ran out 4-3 winners in a clash that got vital minutes into the legs of the Celtic players. Skipper Callum McGregor returned to the fold after his injury lay-off while Carl Starfelt also got vital game-time. There was even a taste of being a Hoops player for Kobayashi ahead of him officially joining the club on January 1.
