Everton goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has hailed Celtic for their "competitive" showing as Ange Postecoglou rounded off the Sydney Super Cup with penalty shoot-out defeat.
The English Premier League side were held to a goalless draw by the Scottish Premiership champions, but would go on to earn bragging rights over Celtic in the penalty shoot-out to round off Postecoglou's homecoming. It could have been very different had Begovic not denied Kyogo Furuhashi from point blank range at the Accor Stadium, but the Bosnian stood tall to keep a clean sheet for Frank Lampard 's men.
The Hoops will now return to Europe for a training camp in Portugal before they return to their league duties against Aberdeen on December 17 and look to keep the title in the Celtic Park trophy cabinet. Despite the loss on penalties, Begovic reckons that both sides can take a lot from the game and admits he was impressed by Celtic's all-out attacking style.
