Ange Postecoglou faces Celtic Euro barometer against Shakhtar Donetsk after Real Madrid free hit

dailyrecord.co.uk

Ange Postecoglou has spent the past 15 months building it up. Now, with a settled squad and the challenge more Real-istic, it is time for more detailed judgements in Europe.

Postecoglou and his team were, quite correctly, placed under no pressure to deliver when going into continental competition last season.

There isn’t a manager in the world who could have inherited the shambles he did that summer and got such an unfurnished squad through the Champions League qualifiers.

The failure at the first hurdle to Danish side FC Midtjylland was no fault of the Aussie. Postecoglou managed to steer his team beyond FK Jablonec and AZ Alkmaar to gain entry to the group stages of the Europa League and there were encouraging signs throughout the campaign with a team that wasn’t properly built or gelled.
