Ange Postecoglou got plenty of plaudits last week without getting his mitts on any points. Now the Celtic manager is in Poland looking to grab both.
Postecoglou ’s charges go into Wednesday's Champions League tie with Shakhtar Donetsk on the back of a highly encouraging opener against Real Madrid. In the end Celtic were unable to keep the kings of Europe out but their efforts drew acclaim and applause from their fans and various observers.
But Postecoglou isn’t just in this for his team to look good. Asked if he’d rather take points than plaudits from Poland the Celtic boss said: “You can do both. That’s our intent. We want to play our football and win. I don’t think they are mutually exclusive. When we play our football and play well it gives us our best chance of success. We don’t need to change our approach, we just need to play at a good level for the duration and hopefully that’s enough.
