Ange Postecoglou rarely fails to come up with a blockbuster quote when he faces his pre-match media conference.
Going in front of the cameras between a Transfer Window deadline and a Glasgow Derby, the hoops boss wasn’t giving too much away about his intentions but there was one stand out comment.

It’s no secret, he adds a bit of size to our team. Most of our side will struggle to get on any rides at Disneyland. I like that he plays that single pivot really well but then can play in a double pivot. He is effective going forward but can be a shield.

While Sead Haksabanovic made an almost immediate debut at Ross County on Wednesday it appears that the new loan signing from Rubin Kazan will take a little longer to get his fitness upto speed.
Celtic have five matches before the mini-break for international football, being fit and available for the resumption on October 1 at home to Motherwell looks to be a realistic target.
