IN Ange we trust.
That’s the message from everyone connected to Celtic at the moment.
James Forrest insists from a player’s perspective, that’s certainly their mantra too.
Postecoglou has rightly earned the belief of everyone at Celtic Park after the transformation he performed on the team within a single year.
One particular aspect of his overhaul that’s been crucial to their success is the recruitment of top class, first team players.
From Kyogo to Joe Hart and Liel Abada to Cameron Carter-Vickers, the list of new players over the past 12-months who’ve made a substantial impact on the Hoops starting XI is extensive.
The Aussie boss clearly has an eye for a player, with several of the captures coming from his knowledge of the game.
Postecoglou revealed that the Scottish champions are close to adding another two or three names to their squad.
Forrest reckons that can only be a good thing. He said: “If you look in the past, sometimes one or two new signings do really well. Last year, I don’t think you can come up with one who hasn’t made an impact.
“The fans are behind him (Ange) but also the players as well as all of his staff. Rightly so after how good last season was. He wants to keep building and be a part of that.
“Every manager here has always strengthened. Whenever you think you’re doing enough, it’s always good to keep adding.
“It’s always good to add quality players as well. It’s only going to help the team and help to build it stronger.
“If he’s said he’s going to sign another two or three then definitely it’s going to help the squad.
“Obviously with the Champions League, it’s a good attraction to get players in when we can offer those type of games.”
It will also be interesting to see how many current academy players make the grade in the coming season.
Rocco Vata has impressed during training and pre-season matches with the first team.
With Forrest coming through that pathway, he admits he’d loved to see another teen follow the same route to become a Hoops star.
He added: “He looks really well. He’s adapted to our training right from the start of pre-season.
“I think he’s only just turned 17 but physically, he looks ready. He’s in good shape and is quick.
“You obviously don’t want to put too much pressure on him but I think he’s a confident boy.
“It’s maybe benefitted him being up training with us right from the start with first team players. He’s looked sharp and in some of the pre-season games.”
