David Turnbull gives Celtic fans a glimpse into Ange Postecoglou's derby planning as boss won't compromise on style

David Turnbull says swashbuckling Celtic are ready to see off AZ Alkmaar in midweek – and Rangers at Ibrox.

The Hoops star hit a hat-trick on Saturday in a 6-0 rout of St Mirren at Parkhead.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are bang in form but now face two huge away games in Holland and Govan.

Turnbull insists they WON’T change their attacking style for AZ or the Premiership champions.

And he’s adamant that Postecoglou’s men can pick up two massive wins.

He said: “It’s a huge week for us and we’ll focus on Thursday first. They’re a good side, they played well here.

“We have to combat that and play the way we know we can. We want to get the result we need to qualify.

“We feel we’re ready to go and win both games. It’s a huge week, Thursday, Sunday, against two good teams.

“But the way we’re playing at the moment, we fancy ourselves against anyone.

“It’s just about taking that into the games and we’re looking forward to it.

“The manager won’t change the way we’re playing for these two games. This is the way we want to play.

“He’s drilled that into us so we’ll go and play the way we have been looking to get a result.”
