Ange Postecoglou hopes the repaired Hampden pitch can help to produce the global spectacle of a Viaplay Cup Final classic.The Celtic manager noted the improvements in the surface as he attended the National Stadium ahead of Sunday’s showpiece encounter between his Celtic trophy holders and Rangers.
