Postecoglou bolstered by away form as Celtic prepare for Tannadice
ANGE Postecoglou is expecting a tough battle tomorrow when he brings his Celtic side to Tannadice to face Dundee United
The Hoops drew at home with Tam Courts’ team in September.
“It’s a good challenge, they frustrated us here, and away from home it’s always a good challenge,” Postecoglou said.
“So I am expecting a tough game but our away form has been really strong and we just need to continue.
“As I keep saying to the players, it’s about us focusing on our football and making sure every week we represent ourselves in the right manner and go about it in the right way, and not get too caught up in what’s happening all around us.
“We have done that pretty well in recent times and we just need to keep going.
“They are all going to be quick turnarounds from now on. The boys are good now at getting the routine right and the recovery. The staff work hard to get them up and running.”
Meanwhile, Celtic have been in touch with Hearts about the missiles faced by Barrie McKay and have vowed to take appropriate action against offending fans.
A man has been arrested after a number of items were thrown at the Hearts winger during Celtic’s 1-0 home win on Thursday.
McKay was struck on the back with what appeared to be a plastic bottle of juice, and other items were thrown down towards him on several occasions as he prepared to take corners in front of the standing section.
The former Rangers player made referee Bobby Madden aware of the problem but did not appear to be hurt and carried on playing.
A Celtic spokesperson said: “Clearly such behaviour has no place at Celtic Park.”
