Ange Postecoglou jumps on Celtic 'boo boys' question as he offers firm response to fan reaction

Frustrated Ange Postecoglou has leapt to the defence of Celtic fans - rejecting suggestions that he and his team were the target of boos at full time against Livingston.

The title hopefuls dominated Livi with 85 per cent possession at Parkhead but they ultimately squandered the chance to go top of the league.

They were awarded a golden opportunity to clinch it late on when Ayo Obileye saw red from Bobby Madden for taking a swipe at Kyogo Furuhashi in the box.

But Giorgios Giakoumakis missed the penalty and Celtic were left with just one point to show for their dominance.

Postecoglou was speaking to BBC Sportsound after the game with Jane Lewis suggesting his team were booed off the pitch after the game.

But Postecoglou wasn't interested as he quickly bit back: "Did you say they were towards us? Were they booing us?"

Lewis then elaborated, admitting you can never know for sure but that it seemed that way.

And Postecoglou responded with a firm defence of the home fans who he says have every right to be frustrated.

He went on: "I didn't feel that. Our supporters were understanding. They were just as frustrated as us, I wouldn't expect them to be euphoric about it.

"If they were booing us, I didn't get that impression. Maybe I didn't hear them."
