He might not do glass ceilings, but Ange Postecoglou most certainly believes in sweet spots
It’s the big Aussie’s firm belief that, at some point, he’ll hit upon one of them as Celtic ’s manager. And, when he does, it’ll make all of Europe sit up and take notice. The Champions League might have gotten away from him at this, his first attempt. But a victory against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday will at least fire his side back into contention for a third spot finish and the safety net of cushioned fall into the Europa League.
And, in the meantime, Postecoglou will get on with plotting for the day when his philosophy all falls perfectly into place on the European stage. “I don’t wear that as a badge of honour,” he said when it was suggested his side has come agonisingly close to handing out some bloody noses throughout the campaign so far.
