Celtic’s B team Gaffer, Darren O’Dea, spoke to Celtic TV about his side’s dominant performance over theRangers B team.
The Celtic B team clashed with theRangers B team in Paradise yesterday under the watchful eyes of Ange Postecoglou. With the Celtic first team boss in attendance, as well as thousands of fans, the Hoops initially felt a bit anxious about performing in this huge fixture, according to O’Dea. However, after a shakey few minutes, Celtic eased themselves into the game and started scoring, eventually netting five goals, while only concerning two.

With all three points secured, Celtic now sit on 42 points and trail theRangers (who sit at the top of the table) by 3 points.
Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou made a personal visit to the dressing room to congratulate the B team squad after their 5-2 derby win over theRangers B team.
“He let us get on with it but came into the dressing room afterwards to see the players. I can’t tell you how much that means to everyone. Stephen (McManus) and I were put in charge of this with the manager above us and the support he has given us has been incredible,” Darren O’Dea told Celtic TV.
“The huge benefit we get is the access we have into the manager, getting to hear his ideas. That’s fantastic and I think we can take this on a lot more and I know the manager will want us to do that.
“His support and John Kennedy’s support today is invaluable. The players will feel that and certainly Stephen and I do, and hopefully we can repay that faith and trust by producing players for him.”
