Celtic head coach Angelos Postecoglou talked about the UCL match against Shakhtar.

– There is a war not so far from here. Tomorrow, many Ukrainians forced no move to Poland will be present at the stadium, as well as Polish nationals. We will probably see solidarity and support in the stands. What can you say about this?
– I understand the context of the question. But ultimately it is a Champions League football match and our responsibility, every club’s responsibility, is to represent ourselves in the best possible manner. So I wait for a really good football match.

– We saw in Leipzig what Shakhtar can do even without possession. What can you say about ball possession?
– We have some problems connected with the fact that not all our players are in the best physical condition, but this is the Champions League where every game is tough. Different challenges are waiting for us tomorrow and we are going to be ready to face them.

– Taking Celtic’s match against Real Madrid into account, is your team ready to win in the Champions League and will it be possible tomorrow?
– In terms of what the challenges are tomorrow, we will be ready for whatever happens. And in terms of confidence, it is the same as it was last week. We are going to go out there and try to play football. It is going to be challenging, but we will play to win.

– Your colleague Igor Jovicevic said that Shakhtar was not a favourite team in the game with RB Leipzig and they will not be a favourite team tomorrow. Who would you name as a favourite team?
– I have no idea. God only knows.
