Ange Postecoglou says other teams can sense his Celtic players' mentality after a 2-1 comeback win over Ross County.
The Hoops made it an impressive 14 wins from 15 Premiership matches through a David Turnbull leveller and Sead Haksabanovic effort, having found themselves 1-0 down to a David Cancola penalty. Rangers' 1-1 draw at St Mirren means Postecoglou's men head into the four-week World Cup break nine points clear at the top of the Premiership table.
In an ominous warning for the rest of the league, the Celtic manager reckons everyone at their matches can sense that they won't succumb to much of the adversity thrown their way. He told Sportsound: "It was a big win and a strong performance. I can't speak highly enough about this group of players. They were really strong mentally today. The crowd sense it, the opposition sense it - if something goes against us, we're not going to be bowed.

"If anything the boys just put the bit between their teeth and go. It's a great trait to have. Whatever challenge has been thrown at us in the league, we've been outstanding.
"You don't sense panic at any stage with us. We have some quality players but really strong characters too.
“We’ve just got to keep winning. Score a couple of goals more than the opposition and not let anything else get in the way.”
