Comparisons Drawn Between Celtic’s Dundee Win and Ange Postecoglou Era
There have been parallels made between Celtic’s 7-1 thrashing of Dundee on Wednesday night and the time under Ange Postecoglou’s management.
The supporters were entertained by the attacking, high-intensity game played during the midweek victory. The champions were demonstrating their power and sending a message to the rest of Scotland that they are still very much in the running for the championship.

“For the first forty-five minutes, they (Dundee) could not get close to a Celtic player.”
