Ange Postecoglou declared Celtic “in a good place” after they rounded off their pre-season campaign with a 2-0 friendly win over Norwich at Parkhead on Saturday.
Daizen Maeda and David Turnbull scored as the Hoops notched a morale-boosting result ahead of their cinch Premiership opener at home to Aberdeen next Sunday.
Postecoglou, who gave new signings Aaron Mooy and Moritz Jenz their first outings off the bench, was pleased with the victory after back-to-back 2-2 draws against Blackburn and Legia Warsaw. “I think the victory is important as well (as the run-out),” he told Celtic TV. “I thought it was a real solid hit-out.
For the most part we controlled the game and our possession was good. “We worked hard as well defensively to deny them too much and it was good to see after those substitutions we didn’t see too much of a drop-off.
