CONTRARY to what you may have heard, Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic are not the reincarnation of the Brazil 1970 side. Nor are they the East End of Glasgow’s and football’s equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters. But what they are, as well as being exciting and great to watch when at their free-flowing best, is relentlessly consistent.
They are consistent in the way they attempt to play the game. They are consistent in their approach to the non-negotiables; their tempo, their work-rate, their high pressing and their attacking principles. It is that consistency of method that has ultimately led to a near unfaltering level of consistent results, certainly at domestic level.
