CELTIC manager Ange Postecoglou would like to see Scottish football follow the example of the Dutch league and scrap synthetic surfaces in the top flight. The Greek-Australian was cognisant of the financial need for their use within some clubs – in Holland Champions League money was redistributed to smaller clubs to rip up their plastic pitches - but would prefer that all games were played on grass.
Celtic will play on Rugby Park’s astroturf this afternoon as they head to Kilmarnock with the surface playing a part in not just how Celtic approach the game but also in which personnel can be deployed.
