Here's what Ange Postecoglou had to say to Celtic TV after the 2-2 draw against Blackburn Rovers at Celtic Park yesterday afternoon.
“The football in the 1st half was really good, don’t know why we were so bad in the 2nd it was a hard watch. We need a few more 6ft + bruisers we ain’t physical enough especially in the middle of midfield. That’s a lot of time for us to prepare a group of players and we’ve put two solid weeks in already. I asked Jota if we can expect more tricks and he basically said ‘no you can expect a lot of running and a lot of hard work. Both teams were at it and we obviously conceded early but, after that, I thought we got a good grip of the game and their football was really bright and the movement was good and was solid defensively. We’re still two weeks out from the season but I’ve done a fair bit of work in Austria and continue to do that here. “First half we looked awesome, mostly, after that terrible start; could’ve been a few goals up at half-time. “The only thing that worries me about this team is that they are very small and too nice. Q: As far as preparation and readiness go, where we are you on that timeline? The second half got to be a bit scrappy.

The stakes will be much higher than last time, when nobody even expected the Hoops to compete for titles.
