It was the Champions League group stages when Manchester City travelled north of the border to face Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic.
It was a great game, the atmosphere was electric, and the teams were both up for it.
The result was 3-3, with Pep Guardiola’s side unable to defeat the Scottish Champions. Celtic didn’t fall behind once, which would be of great annoyance that they couldn’t hold out for a win.
Ange Postecoglou Looking to Make Champions League Memories
Memorable occasions in the Champions League have happened in the past at Celtic Park, and Ange will be eager to get his side involved in one of these nights.
He’s stated that Celtic’s style won’t change regardless of who they’re against. The manager wants to go toe to toe with Europe’s elite sides and try to snatch a few results.
So what?
Hoped we had long passed the stage where sites get all excited just because Celtic are name-checked by another club’s player.
Embarrassing really that this is considered “news”
