Reporter claims Postecoglou now facing big 'dilemma' at Celtic

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has been handed a positive selection problem after his team’s dismantling of 11th placed St. Johnstone, which ended with the home team winning 7-0, according to Glasgow Times journalist David Irvine. 

The Hoops ran out emphatic victors after putting seven goals past Jt. Johnstone who are fighting for their life at the bottom of the table. Postecoglou’s side boasted six different goal scorers with Reo Hatate, Giorgos Giakoumakis, Daizen Madea, Josip Juranovic, and Liel Abada picking up a goal each while Matt O’Riley scored a brace within three minutes of each other.

Celtic now find themselves nine points clear at the top of the Scottish Premier League, putting pressure on city rivals Rangers who play away at 10th place St. Mirren on Sunday. But before Celtic can cement themselves as champions of Scotland once again they will have to face their rivals in the Scottish Cup, hosting The Gers next weekend on April 17th.

However, this latest victory could prove to offer a problem, albeit a positive one for the Austrian manager as several substitutes showed their worth and ability to start in the first team. Writing for Glasgow Times, Irvine chose two players who could be knocking on the door come next weekend.

“David Turnbull and Liel Abada also looked sharp coming off the bench as Ange Postecoglou was left with a positive selection dilemma for next week’s Scottish Cup semi-final.”

Celtic have been absolutely dominant in the SPL this season, having not lost in their last 29 SPL games under Postecoglou. The former Yokohama F. Marinos manager has cultivated a young, talented, and winning side in just his first season at the club.
