Celtic

Ange Postecoglou has explained why Celtic signed Sead Haksabanovic, who had a terrible time at Rubin Kazan in the previous season.

It remains to be seen if Haksabanovic is able to produce his best in a Celtic shirt. That’s a good sign for us because it means he’s coming to us for the right reasons I think he will be a good asset for us. It did not work out for him there though and just a year later, the Russian club are believed to have let him join Celtic for a fraction of that, believed to be somewhere in the range of €2 million. It wasn’t the easiest of moves to coordinate, but he was really determined to join our football club. Secondly, I look at what sort of person they are and what sort of motivation it is that they have. The Montenegro international was one of the best players in the Swedish league before his move to Rubin Kazan last summer for a transfer fee believed to be around €6.5 million.

It's been hard to break into the Scottish champions side for fringe stars after taking 12 points from 12 so far.

[Giorgos Giakoumakis](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/giorgos-giakoumakis) has netted two goals in his last two off the bench, and will be hoping to get the nod up front. Starfelt will be among the stars hoping for a shot at United having patiently warmed the bench following his pre-season knock. With Callum McGregor, David Turnbull and Matt O'Riley impressing in the Parkhead engine room there will be no rush to thrown the Japan cap into the mix. With Haksabanovic searching for match fitness, Postecoglou may take time to blend him into the team and all but ruled out an appearance at Tannadice. He has trained with his new teammates having been training alone in Sweden for the majority of pre-season, having left Russia following the invasion of the Ukraine.

It remains to be seen who Celtic might try to sign before the window shuts, but the Bhoys continue to be linked with a host of players. Postecoglou has a number of attackers he can call on, but he is open to adding another to the ranks before the window slams shut next week. Bhoys boss Ange Postecoglou has just snapped up winger Sead Haksabanovic to increase his options in the final third ahead of a season including Champions League football.

Kyogo has completed a first half hat-trick to make it 3-0 to Celtic. Having scored two earlier on, this was the easiest of the lot for the Japanese striker.

There will likely be more on the way as Celtic turn the screw. Dundee United simply turned off and Celtic struck. O’Riley fired a great pass across to Liel Abada, his cut back found Kyogo who could make no mistake.

The Scottish champions will be looking to make it five wins from five in the league so far.

Dundee United have lost their last four games and conceded 15 goals in the process. Celtic on the other are looking to continue their perfect start to the season after four wins in their opening four games. Meanwhile former Celtic players Charlie Mulgrew and Tony Watt are both on the bench for United who have been in freefall since their 7-0 drubbing to AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League qualifiers.

Celtic take on Dundee United at Tannadice in the Scottish Premiership today, knowing that a victory will return the Bhoys to the top of the league.

Maeda has been busy in recent weeks setting up goals for Kyogo Furuhashi, who is also the smart bet to start today. He looked sharp off the bench last week and could be preferred to David Turnbull.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic team vs Dundee United for the Scottish Premiership test this lunchtime.

In Japan, the match is live on subscription stream service SPOTV. It’s a big opportunity for Abada in particular, who has found minutes limited even when fully fit. Today’s a big match or the Bhoys. The match is also on the SPFL world feed meaning lots of channels around the world are broadcasting the game. Postecoglou has made three changes for the fixture with Liel Abada, Reo Hatate and Carl Starfelt coming in for Daizen Maeda, David Turnbull and Moritz Jenz. In Australia it’s on beIN Sports 2 while viewers in the USA can tune in to CBS Sports Network.

Jota found Hatate’s run and the Japanese midfielder squared for Abada to knock home. O’Riley’s touch sent Abada in behind and he crossed for Jota to net from close range. Celtic went for the kill and scored a brilliant third in stoppage time. Starfelt and Abada were handed their first starts of the season while Reo Hatate was recalled. Half-time brought respite but no shift in momentum. Ross made four changes as he tried to halt a four-match losing streak.

ANGE Postecoglou was handed a late birthday present by the Celtic directors on Thursday when the signing of Sead Haksabanovic was finally completed.

Their nightmare continued in the second-half. They headed for the exits in their droves. Postecoglou made a quadruple substitution after Celtic had gone seven ahead; Furuhashi, Jota, O’Riley and Hatate were replaced by Maeda, James Forrest, Turnbull and Aaron Mooy. But Celtic have an abundance of talented individuals who pose a threat in the final third and they did not miss him. His side very nearly snatched an equaliser against the run of play as a result of his heroics. It was all too much for the United supporters. His team mate squared to Furuhashi first time and the striker took a touch before drilling beyond Carljohan Eriksson. He completed his hat-trick from close range after being supplied by Abada in added-on time. Furuhashi bagged another five minutes before half-time after O’Riley had prodded the ball away from McMann. Ross, meanwhile, freshened his side up considerably in the wake of their 3-0 mauling by St Mirren last weekend. United are rooted to bottom spot, have now lost five games in succession and conceded 24 goals in the process. But every one of the visitors' players were sensational.

Kyoho Furuhashi and Liel Abada both netted hat-tricks in the rout, which saw Ange Postecoglou's side continue their perfect start to the league season as ...

At the home of the stadium home supporters started leaving in their droves. Utterly cringe-inducing for the home supporters still in the ground. Kyogo's second Celtic hat trick arrived in the 45th minute when a delightful Hatate dummy saw O'Riley sling a cross towards the back post. Deprived a tenth straight title two seasons ago Postecoglou's side almost claimed the ten at last when Turnbull's header came close to crossing the line. Even a Scottish referee couldn't stop Celtic on a day of free-flowing, thrilling, attacking football. Carl Starfelt finally claimed his first Celtic goal at Kilmarnock the other week and, like buses, they're all coming at once now. The visitors played their way in behind the home defence with ridiculous ease. Playing in the same front three as the Japanese and Jota for the first time this Liel Abada claimed the other when he made it 8-0 after 77 minutes. A brief slither of hope, the dam burst completely before half-tie. Taking a touch to control, Celtic's goalscoring talisman calmly made it four goals in four games. Abada didn't score the opener after 16 minutes, but the vision and intelligence did create it. A porous Tannadice side have now shipped 24 goals in five winless games.

Celtic have set a new record for the biggest away win in the Scottish top flight after a remarkable 9-0 win over Dundee United at Tannadice.

[Celtic](/topic/celtic) were 5-0 ahead at half-time after a Kyogo Furuhashi hat-trick was followed by strikes from Liel Abada and Jota.

Celtic produced a devastating display of attacking football to put nine goals past Dundee United at Tannadice and return to the top of the Scottish ...

Not everything came off for the Danish U21 international but was involved in much of Celtic’s best play and grabbed a couple of assists before his 63rd minute withdrawal. Diazen Maeda (5) and James Forrest (5) kept the pressure on the United defence but couldn’t get up to the level of the duo they replaced in Jota and Kyogo. Otherwise, a solid display and another goal to add his one off the bench at Kilmarnock last week. Crazy to think the Israeli youngster is not a regular starter when he can impact a game like this. Posed a constant threat down the right hand side with his movement and one-touch passing. His post was struck twice but was able to rest up long before the end.

"In terms of that humiliation and embarrassment the players should feel that way, because that's the way I feel."

By Biodun Busari. Celtic demolished Dundee United 9-0 on Sunday to equal their own Scottish Premiership record victory. This is coming a day after Liverpool ...

Liverpool earned their first win of the season on Saturday against promoted Bournemouth, equalling the record for the biggest Premier League victory. Furuhashi netted his third in added time in the opening period and Portuguese winger Jota scored to make it 4-0 at halftime. The result at Tannadice Park stood at par with Celtic’s 9-0 victory over Aberdeen in 2010-11 and was the biggest away victory in the competition’s history, beating their own 8-1 triumph at Dunfermline Athletic in 2005–06.

Jack Ross insisted he remained determined to fix Dundee United's problems after enduring a 9-0 defeat by Celtic at Tannadice.

“It’s about the intent and we don’t want to be led by the scoreboard or whatever the circumstances of the game are. And because of the embarrassment and humiliation I feel right now then, absolutely, I want to put that right.” The 46-year-old admitted he was “puzzled” by how bad things were but admitted his side were too passive. “You need to have faith in your managerial ability through previous experiences and the challenges I have overcome in my football and coaching career. And large aspects of the performance were not reflective of wearing a jersey in professional football.” So, when I talk about being humiliated and embarrassed, I want to fix that.

Manager Ange Postecoglou says his Celtic team "keep going all the time" after thumping Dundee United 9-0 in the Scottish Premiership.

"I don't think us, as players, could argue if we lost our positions at the club. "That's part of the kind of football team we want to be," said Postecoglou. We know as players we've let him down, we've let each other down, the fans, the staff, and our families," he said. "I do think he is in serious danger of losing his job. "We are 100% [behind the manager]. Eight of those came in the final hour against Celtic.

Fletcher was belatedly booked by Steven McLean. The Portuguese winger was several yards offside but the goal stood. Giorgos Giakoumakis was absent. A first-time pass from Juranovic, a dummy from Hatate, and a first-time cross from O’Riley opened United up and Abada squared for Furuhashi to tap in.

Jack Ross has made a brutally honest admission after his Dundee United side suffered a 9-0 defeat at the hands of Celtic in their own backyard.

I want to overcome it but it hurts a lot. So I’m hurting and suffering, but it doesn’t diminish my want to put it right. I’m hugely protective of my players and I own the responsibility, because it’s my shoulders it falls upon, but you can’t run away from it.

Celtic can land their dream alternative to Edouard Michut by securing a transfer deal for Ross Barkley.

There is more to come, there is more to come and his attitude has been first class.” I am delighted with him and he just needs to keep those levels. His work rate, for instance, is great, recovering, jumping out to defend at times from midfield areas. I have seen that and Ross has been absolutely dedicated to the cause.

"It's about the intent and we don't want to be led by the scoreboard or whatever the circumstances of the game are.

Celtic obliterated Dundee United 9-0 in the Scottish Premiership, in the club's biggest away win in the league in its 134-year history.

“It’s about the intent and we don’t want to be led by the scoreboard or whatever the circumstances of the game are. “It’s better to swap shirts with players you admire after you’ve knocked them off, rather than just grabbing one for your collection.” “It’s the team we want to be – it’s not just about the football we want to play,” said Postecoglou after Sunday’s masterclass had put his side two points clear at the top of the table after five striking wins to open their defence.

Ange Postecoglou was happy his Celtic side showed no mercy in a record 9-0 away win against Dundee United on Sunday.

We didn't take advantage of that, we stayed respectful in terms of our approach to the game." “But I was really pleased that the players stayed focused. No manager goes out there to try and not be successful.
