Ange Postecoglou's Celtic press conference in full as he doubles down on style principles after Champions League poser

Ange Postecoglou has doubled down on his Celtic style principles despite failing to win in the Champions League so far.

The Hoops went toe-to-toe with RB Leipzig in midweek but ultimately went down 3-1 to the Bundesliga outfit. The Germans adopted a similarly attacking approach to their opponents and in the end, were able to outscore the Scottish champions in an open game. Jota cancelled out Christopher Nkunku’s opener before Andre Silva’s double - with a helping hand from Joe Hart - saw Marco Rose’s side run out deserved winners of the Group F encounter.

That’s led to renewed queries as to whether Postecoglou would be better adopting a more pragmatic approach to these fixtures. But the Aussie is adamant his players will keep doing what they’re doing regardless of competition, explaining that their style of play gives Celtic a sense of security and that changing it up too often breeds uncertainty in the ranks.
