We mentioned earlier today that there was some serious editing in the version of Ange Postecoglou’s Media Conference from Warsaw released last night by Celtic ahead of the Champions League match against Shaktar Donetsk this evening.
Courtesy of Celtic Nation, here is the entire Media Conference with the long-winded Ukrainian interpreter doing most of the talking and early on interrupts Ange to tell him to speak closer to the mic! The Celtic manager was less than happy to say the least!
The entire Commonwealth claim by the MSM hack in the question that Celtic decided to exclude is certainly a bit of an exaggeration, given Britain’s colonial record, but Ange handled it splendidly, denying them the headline today.
And the decsion NOT to hold a minute silence this evening is another mouth-watering headline lost for the deeply disappointed hacks. All we need now is a Celtic win to put the icing on that particular cake.
Here’s the unedited Media Conference…
Was wondering why the club were so late in posting the press conference last night and now I know why… They had to edit it big time
Check out the unedited version below … Big Ange did not look a happy camper with the interpreter! This is excruciatinghttps://t.co/9Dr43sNzzT

I cannot believe the self – indulgence of these Polish journalists and the utter elaboration of questions and translations that needed to be to the point, direct and respectful. How frustrating for Ange and Moritz.
You could see both were irritated. The presser seemed more focused on the people asking the questions rather than the Celtic men. Verbose to the extreme.
