Charlie Nicholas gets Celtic deja vu as he levels two Champions League questions at the board

Charlie Nicholas insists any scrutiny over Celtic's Champions League campaign should be levelled at the board - not Ange Postecoglou.

The Premiership champions were eliminated from the competition after four group stage matches last week as they were beaten at home by RB Leipzig, but they can still salvage a spot in the Europa League by finishing third.

In the aftermath, Postecoglou bristled at questions over his team's suitability for competing at the top level, asserting that anyone claiming Celtic didn't deserve to be there had an "agenda".

The questions reminded Nicholas of what previously faced the likes of Gordon Strachan, Neil Lennon and Brendan Rodgers. The pundit believes such concern is valid but reckons it's being directed at the wrong target as he claimed it's the men at the very top who should be explaining how Celtic can go to the next level on the continent, namely by backing Postecoglou in the transfer market.
