Ange Postecoglou has shot down any suggestions Scottish football is holding back some of his stars.
The Celtic boss admitted he feels for Hoops aces Kyogo and Reo Hatate missing out on being called up for Japan. But he doesn’t buy Samurai Blues boss Hajime Moriyasu’s veiled reasoning about the level of the Premiership. Postecoglou will have half his squad on international duty next week – and he is convinced it won’t be long before his key men are banging on the door.
When asked if he had concerns about Scottish football’s standing, he hit back: “No mate, you come here next week and there will be few players in the building because the rest of them will be on international duties. We have four or five at the World Cup and they were all outstanding. We have had players recently – Josip Juranovic and Moritz Jenz – who have gone to the Bundesliga and are regular starters.
