A question to Ange Postecoglou over whether Celtic will adapt their tactical approach when Real Madrid visit Glasgow on Tuesday night drew a smile. “Aha, my plan A,” said the Australian. Postecoglou – who believes his style would receive more praise were he Spanish, Dutch or German – is aware of what his detractors claim. That is, he has just one – attacking – way of playing.
Postecoglou has earned the right to deploy a Celtic side in any manner he likes. Saturday’s 4-0 thumping of Rangers endorsed all that is good about the Scottish champions under the 57-year-old. There will be no cowering as the Champions League campaign begins in high-profile fashion.
