Ange Postecoglou is on course to lead Celtic into the Champions League group stage for the second consecutive season.
But the Australian has been shown the levels he needs to hit with the Hoops next term after group rivals RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk suffered a battering while on European duty this week. Despite failing to escape the group stage and being unable to win a game, the Scottish Premiership champions took plenty of credit from their all-out attacking performances as Angeball made it's debut in Europe's elite competition.
However, Real Madrid cruised to the top of the group while the Bundesliga side did enough to make the last 16 with victories over both Celtic and the Ukrainian champions. Avoiding defeat against the Parkhead side both home and away - coupled with the shock victory over the European champions Real - saw Shakhtar seal third and a spot in the Europa League.
