Celtic star won't play again claims pundit as rare Ange Postecoglou recruitment 'failure' laid bare

Tam McManus insists Ange Postecoglou cannot be criticised for his recruitment at Celtic but that one player's arrival has been a 'failure'.

The Hoops have been overwhelmingly fruitful in their recruitment since Postecoglou arrived in the summer of 2021 with massive hits such as Kyogo Furuhashi, Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers all becoming fan favourites at Parkhead. The smart acquisitions of Joe Hart, Aaron Mooy and Matt O'Riley have also proved crucial to the Scottish champions' title plight.

Postecoglou also introduced four new faces in the January transfer window, with defenders Alistair Johnston and Yuki Kobayashi already impressing while Tomoki Iwata and Hyeon-gyu Oh are yet to make their full impact. But former Hibs man McManus believes one star did fall through the cracks.
