The multiple goal threat mantra Ange Postecoglou delivers consistently is certainly working out for his Celtic team across the early weeks of the season. In three cinch Premiership games, no fewer than 10 goals have been plundered, by no fewer than seven players.
As would be expected, goals have come from the forward line – Kyogo Furuhashi netting two with Giorgos Giakoumakis claiming one – and the middle third of the pitch, courtesy of two Jota screamers and Liel Abada getting in on the act.
What proves a surprise is that it is Celtic’s centre-backs that have accounted for a greater share of the 10 than any other department.
In every game so far, no less, the Scottish champions’ pivots have pitched in. Stephen Welsh headed in Celtic’s first goal of this campaign to set his side on their way to a 2-0 opening weekend win at home to Aberdeen.
