Ange Postecoglou has praised Celtic's fans for their commitment to the club following the end of their tour in Australia.
The Hoops were held to a 0-0 draw against Everton in the early hours of the morning UK time, with the Premier League outfit taking the victory on penalties.
The Scottish champions were well on top for the majority of the game, but just lacked that little bit of sharpness in front of goal to convert.
After Celtic's 2-1 defeat to Sydney FC on Thursday, the results means they are out of the Sydney Super Cup Down Under.
However, Postecoglou was far from miffed at the result.
He said: "I wouldn't say it was disappointing. I was disappointed there weren't any goals for the fans but the performance was decent and I thought we dominated the game.
"We were just missing a goal and we missed some great chances and their keeper pulled off some good saves. I think that was much more like us in terms of our general play and laying out football.
"I was just disappointed there weren't any goals for the supporters, but in terms of our performance, I was happy.
"Both teams played last week and they are not out of condition. The trip can take its toll but the match was played at a decent tempo with decent intensity and we were just missing a goal in terms of our performance.
"We were just more like ourselves, we were aggressive when we needed to be and we were decent when we had the ball. We were aggressive when we didn't have it and that was a lot better tonight.
"I think some of the boys have acclimatised now, and I could see in training and on the pitch that they were much better and more like themselves.
"We were just missing a goal, but overall the performance was good."
Postecoglou was then asked if it felt good to be home in familiar territory.
That's when he praised the Hoops fans for their dedication to the club.
He added: "I am not really the sentimental type. We got the job done here with Australia and it was a great night. You kind of move on from those things and always look ahead.
"It has been great to be back home and just brilliant to see the support we have had. Not me personally, but the football club and walking the streets of Sydney and just seeing Celtic shirts everywhere is just brilliant to see.
"We know the enormity of the football club but the distance doesn't diminish the passion, and the supporters are just as passionate here, watching the team play."
