Ange Postecoglou says Celtic star Reo Hatate has set full back standard as he spreads Christmas cheer with jumper gesture
dailyrecord.co.ukAnge Postecoglou says Reo Hatate has set the standard for the rest of Celtic's right-backs in a convincing 4-1 over St Johnstone.The midfielder filled in at full-back with Anthony Ralston, Alistair Johnston and Josip Juranovic all unavailable, scoring twice and proving unlucky not to score a hat-trick.
