Mikael Lustig names three Celtic stars he's 'impressed' by as he responds to Ange Postecoglou poser

Mikael Lustig has named the three current Celtic stars that have 'really impressed' the Swede.

And the former Parkhead defender, who made over 270 appearances in Glasgow across a seven-year spell, admits he would have loved to play under new boss Ange Postecoglou's system at some point. The 36-year-old, who boasts an incredible 16 major honours during his time in Glasgow, returned to Scotland this week for the first time since leaving in 2019 to promote an event with himself and former skipper Scott Brown in May.

And Lustig who was quizzed on a Twitter Q&A session about the current crop of Scottish champions admits he has always been a huge fan of skipper Callum McGregor. But he did reveal the trio of defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, winger Jota and forward Kyogo have really 'impressed' him.

He said: "Everyone knows how important Callum is so I'll not say him. Carter-Vickers, Jota & Kyogo impress me."

On wishing he would have worked under Postecoglou: "I would have loved to! I think it would have suited me quite well. The way he plays - they're not just winning, they're really fun to watch too."
