Watch as Barry Ferguson explains how Plan A Ange hammered leading European coach

Barry Ferguson was pushed into some furious back-tracking after the latest Demolition Derby.

On Saturday morning the former Alloa boss was explaining to Daily Record readers how Giovanni van Bronckhorst had susses out Ange Postecoglou, patronising the manager of the Scottish champions, Ferguson claimed that ‘big Ange’ only had a Plan A while the Ibrox boss also had B, C and D which he could sometimes deploy in the same match.

Postecoglou diplomatically brushed that claim aside at his pre-match media conference, by half-time in the Derby Ferguson was looking as exposed and vulnerable as the players in blue shirts.

In every area of the game Celtic were superior, they played with purpose and energy with a burning desire around goal to put the ball into the back of the net.

On television and radio pundits seemed surprised but Celtic played exactly the same way as they had in every game this season. There were no surprise tactics or selections, when players went off the substitutes played exactly the same way.

Plain and simple, Celtic were the better team………….They’ve let a lot of people down, if they are professionals they’ll know that they’ve let themselves down but there’s no getting away from the fact that Celtic were stronger in all departments. It’s a sore, sore one. A sore, sore one to lose.
