Ange Postecoglou insists it’s his job to lead Celtic to the Champions League group stage EVERY season and then prove they can really compete with the cream of the continent.
The Hoops boss was left gutted after his side crashed out of Europe with a game to spare in Group F following last night’s 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk in Glasgow. Giorgios Giakoumakis fired Celts in to a first half lead to keep the Parkhead men’s faint hopes of claiming the Europa League spot alive.
But Donetsk dangerman Mkhaylo Mudryk slammed a sensation leveller in the second period to leave Celtic condemned to finishing bottom of the section with next week’s Real Madrid clash in the Bernabeu to come. Postecoglou admitted his disappointment at a campaign that was positive in patches – but punishing in other spells. The Aussie boss was adamant his men were able to compete with the best – but he vowed to make sure Celts are regulars at the very top level.
