Rio Ferdinand gets Celtic lesson from Ange as former boss reveals why players accepted 'heavy price' of going at big guns

10.11.2023 - 10:31 dailyrecord.co.uk

Rio Ferdinand used Celtic's pasting at the hands of Real Madrid to reveal why Ange Postecoglou's side were unwavering in their approach.

And the Australian coach reckons the former Manchester United and England defender is bang on the money when it comes to the style he implemented and thus perfected buring his two years in Glasgow.

Celtic suffered a similar fate in the Champions League this week when rivals Atletico Madrid put six past Brendan Rodgers' team, with Postecoglou's group on the receiving end of a 5-1 defeat in the Spanish capital against Los Blancos last season.

The Hoops, as they customarily did under the now Tottenham coach, went full pelt against Carlo Ancelotti's men at the Bernabeu with former star Jota on target.

ROME: Ciro Immobile shot Lazio to the verge of qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League with a late brace in Tuesday’s 2-0 win over eliminated Celtic. Italy forward Immobile struck twice in the final 10 minutes at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome to move Lazio top of Group E, two points ahead of Atletico Madrid who are at third-placed Feyenoord later on Tuesday.
