ANGE POSTECOGLOU has backed his centre-back pairing of Moritz Jenz and Stephen Welsh to rise to the challenge of handling the star-studded RB Leipzig attack of Timo Werner and Christopher Nkunku, after Cameron Carter-Vickers was ruled out of tonight’s Champions League tie.
The Celtic manager was speaking in Germany ahead of the first match of a double-header against Marco Rose’s side over the next week, the outcome of which could have huge implications for their chances to reach the knockout stages of the competition for the first time since 2007.
Postecoglou has urged all of his Celtic players not to let that opportunity pass them by, but impressed upon Jenz and Welsh in particular that they have to make the most of the chance he will be handing to them.
