Celtic squad revealed as Ange Postecoglou faces Matt O'Riley or Tom Rogic dilemma

Ange Postecoglou has shown he is a man to stick to his guns during his time as Celtic boss.

And he isn’t for changing much for their return clash against Bodo/Glimt despite a 3-1 defeat at Parkhead.

Some felt the Australian was too adventurous with his gameplan which allowed the Norwegians to pick them off.

Postecoglou, on the other hand, could point to the fact they had 16 shots with only Daizen Maeda’s to show for it.

That points to Giorgos Giakoumakis coming in for the trip to the Aspmyra Stadium after the Greek’s hat-trick against Dundee at the weekend.

But will Postecoglou be a bit more conservative in his midfield set up with Tom Rogic and Matt O’Riley having both started in the first game.

Reo Hatate dropped out but he was back at the weekend as he replaced Rogic who then replaced him in the second half as O’Riley later made way for Nir Bitton.

It’s in the engine room where supporters will be curious to see how Postecoglou plays it a they look to stay in the Europa Conference League.

The Celtic boss was asked at his press conference if he will set his team up more conservatively in Bodo and his answer was characteristically frank.

He said: "No, because that would be changing, which is what I said we don't do.”

But the proof will be in the team sheet before kick off when the midfield line up is revealed.
