Ange Postecoglou takes Celtic lesson from FA Cup shockers as he warns of 'unique' Kilmarnock challenge

Cautious Ange Postecoglou knows the dangers of cup football as he's warned his stars to be on their toes against Kilmarnock this weekend.

Defending champions Celtic face Killie at Hampden looking to move onto the Viaplay Cup Final where they would face either Rangers or Aberdeen but Aussie boss Postecoglou certainly isn't looking that far ahead just yet. The Hoops are flying but the FA Cup at the weekend showed form often goes out the window in the cups, with various Premier League sides sent packing as Stevenage beat Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday eliminated Newcastle among a number of surprise results.

Parkhead boss Postecoglou had a close eye on that action and knows Kilmarnock will be taking inspiration from it when they head to Glasgow's south side for the semi-final showdown this weekend. He told Celtic TV: “You just have to look at what happened down south in the FA Cup over the weekend and cup football in general, I’ve been around long enough to know that there’s always a different element to it.
