Matt O'Riley admits Ange Postecoglou Celtic audiences are rare so hangs on his every word

Matt O'Riley admits being granted an audience with Ange Postecoglou can be so rare that he hangs on his every word.The Celtic midfielder revealed an aloof side to his manager, which he believes is a ploy to ensure when the Australian does speak, his players listen.

As the Dane attempts to force his way back into a starting slot with the champions, he insists recent weeks of having cameo roles off the bench have forced some personal improvements, which involved easing the psychological pressure of striving for perfection when he’s on the pitch.Whether Postecoglou offers the 22-year-old a recall into his side which will face Hearts on Wednesday evening remains to be seen but he’s adamant when it comes to communicating with his gaffer, it’s good to talk.

He said: “Regarding the gaffer, he doesn’t actually speak to us much at all. At the training ground he delivers information when he needs to in meetings and on the pitch in pre-match sessions.

In general, you probably won’t see that much of him.“He keeps himself to himself. I think that is so he detaches away from the players and allows himself to pick a team without too much emotion.
