MATT O’RILEY says that Celtic’s performance against Real Madrid vindicated Ange Postecoglou’s attacking gameplan, and that despite the eventual 3-0 defeat, his team’s performance proved that the Scottish champions can compete at the very top level.
O’Riley was desperately disappointed not to have taken anything from Celtic’s Champions League Group F opener on Tuesday night, with Postecoglou’s men going toe-to-toe with the reigning European champions for the best part of an hour before Real Madrid’s class told in the end.
