Ange Postecoglou says he is building a Celtic team that will continually challenge in the Champions League.

Postecoglou told Sky Sports: “This season was about building the first foundation of a team that I hope will be competing and be successful in the Premiership for the next few years.
“My role is to make us better next year, we need to be better.
“It’s the same in the Champions League, our role is to get there and make an impact.
“It’s not just about making an impact next year, it’s about building a team that will continually make an impact and that takes time.”
Postecoglou is now entering his third transfer window as Celtic boss and has enjoyed great success in his recruitment process in his first two.
He's been delighted with what has been done so far without a massive spend and says that is the route they will continue to go down.
Postecoglou added: “We’ve had a process, we’ve had success in the transfer market without a massive spend.
“That’s the club we are and that’s the area I want us to continue to grow in and that’s what we’ll do.”
