Ange Postecoglou defiant the Celtic attacking style won't change ahead of crunch Europa League clash

Ange Postecoglou insists Celtic's attacking approach will not change against Ferencvaros despite conceding eight goals in the Europa League campaign so far.

Both Celtic and Ferencvaros have lost their opening two matches against Real Betis and Bayer Leverkusen, with the Hoops letting in four in each game.

But manager Postecoglou insists he will stick to his philosophy and will continue to go for the jugular.

He said: "It's not a matter of changing things, it's just part of the learning process and the evolution of the team.

"From my perspective, there was enough positive signs in both of those performances to continue what we are doing.

"Part of the challenge of playing quality teams is can you cause them problems? It's easy to set out a team to stop the opposition but if you really want to make an impact in Europe you have got to be able to hurt opposition teams yourself and I thought we showed that in both games."

Celtic will have Adam Montgomery back for their Europa League encounter after Boli Bolingoli came in at left-back for the win over Motherwell on Saturday due to the youngster dropping out with a knock.

Postecoglou added ahead of Tuesday's game: "We have a clean bill of health from the weekend, everyone got through the game OK.

"Coming back in, the only change will be young Adam Montgomery is available. He trained with the team yesterday and today and came through unscathed. So he is ready to go and the rest will be very similar to the weekend."
