He said: “First half we were excellent. It’s a difficult place to come and play and the pitch was difficult, so it was a really good challenge for us that we handed well.

“Second half was a bit scrappy, but overall they showed a great attitude.

“Liel Abada was great today and probably could have had a couple more. It’s only six month into his career at Celtic and he’s been really good for us.

“We’ve put him in areas where he’s probably unfamiliar with but he’s handled it really well.

“Nir Bitton has been great all along for us.

'Bitton, Tom Rogic, James McCarthy and Josip Juranovic were the more experienced ones and they had to stand up and they did.'

The victory brings to a close the year 2021 and the first six months of work for Ange Postecoglou.

If there were negatives to come from the game it would be Kyogo being forced off early with an injury and only 500 spectators being allowed into the stadium due to the pandemic.

But the manager feels the break is coming at the right time to allow supporters back in their numbers in January.

He added: “On Kyogo, we’ll wait and see but we have a break now so I don’t think it’s anything serious.

“He wanted to give it a go today, but we knew not to over risk it, so he felt it a bit and thought we would take him off.

“We knew the break would be coming at some point.

'Obviously it’s coming earlier and looking at today it’s just not the same game without the fans.'

“I’m pleased that we stop it now and have a chance to regroup and get our players up and running.”
