Celtic : This player who impressed Ange Postecoglou and could even keep his place in the XI

Tomoki Iwata had an impressive first start for Celtic, according to manager Ange Postecoglou. The Japanese midfielder played a key role in the team’s victory over Ross County, operating as the anchor in midfield.

Iwata had previously made seven substitute appearances for Celtic after signing from Yokohama Marinos. Postecoglou has taken a steady approach with January arrivals, including Iwata, and it appears to be paying off.

Celtic’s victory over Ross County was sealed by a late goal from Alexandro Bernabei. The defender’s strike was his first for the club and was celebrated wildly by fans and teammates alike. Postecoglou praised Bernabei’s performance and said he hoped the goal would give him confidence going forward.

Despite missing several key players due to injury, Celtic were able to maintain their nine-point lead in the title race. Postecoglou was pleased with the team’s performance, given the challenges they faced.

The manager pushed aside concerns about rustiness after the international break and said the team was focused on overcoming any challenges put in front of them.

Celtic will face Rangers in their next match, which could be a crucial step towards securing the title. With just eight games left in the season, every point counts for both teams. Postecoglou will be hoping that his team can continue their winning streak and take another step towards glory.
