Celtic’s manager has called for the first Old Firm fixture of 2023 to be played without too many disruptive VAR delays
manager, Ange Postecoglou, has called on the match officials for the first Old Firm game of 2023 to ensure VAR delays do not disrupt the marquee fixture.– it was first used at matches in October – has, perhaps unsurprisingly, proved controversial. Postecoglou was unperturbed about the introduction of the technology but, like umpteen managers, has since grown frustrated at the time taken to reach decisions.
Celtic cross the city in fine spirits thanks to a 12-game winning Premiership run. Postecoglou’s team are nine points and 20 goals ahead of. Should Celtic avoid defeat it would be difficult to contemplate anything other than their retention of the title. This, then, feels like the ideal chance for Kyogo Furuhashi, Celtic’s Japanese forward, to break his scoring duck in Old Firm matches.
“All I know is that from the moment he arrived the guy has just been scoring goals and causing headaches to opposition teams,” Postecoglou said. “I don’t get this ‘lean spell’ stuff. Maybe he set the bar high when he first started, but there hasn’t been any time when I have felt that he has been struggling with form or confidence or impact because his impact goes beyond just the goals that he scores.
This will be Michael Beale’s first Old Firm derby as Rangers manager. The hosts have won four out of four games under the former QPR manager but have largely failed to convince, by Beale’s own admission. He has also insisted Rangers will not alter their approach against a rampant Celtic team. Postecoglou will not deviate from his standard plan either.
