Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic team were in scintillating form at Paradise this afternoon, taking full advantage of Rangers dropping points against Dundee United yesterday with a 6-0 win. New Bhoy Kyogo Furuhashi bagged a hat trick on his home debut, adding to goals scored by Rogic, Ralston and Edouard. It goes without saying that the margin of victory was emphatic but the scoreline certainly didn’t flatter the Bhoys, who could easily have racked up double figures on another day.
Since being named Celtic manager, much has been said about Postecoglou’s attacking style of play. We have all heard that he likes his teams to be on the front foot, to play fast free flowing football and to build from the back. Today was the first time that we saw evidence of that philosophy in full flight.
Celtic were sensational to watch, whilst Ryan Christie and Kyogo Furuhashi stood out as the two top performers, playing at their imperious best.
The highlights and footage of the goals can be seen below:
