One thing that has been quite noticeable since the arrival of Ange Postecoglou is the culture he has built in the Celtic squad.

The big Australian has consistently spoken about not only scouting player ability, but also the person when it comes to player recruitment.

And it does seem to be having a very positive effect in the Celtic dressing room.

In this piece in the Daily Record, Matt O’Riley opens up on the dressing room culture within the squad an revealed the two major leaders within the Parkhead dressing room.

O’Riley said, “We have great leaders who are quite vocal.

“Cal, for example. Joe has an abundance of experience.

“These guys have massive voices, so although it’s not wrong, I don’t think it is necessarily right for me to be the main guy there when you have the likes of Cal.

“I’m happy with my role in the team. I just try to be as nice to as many people as I possibly can.

“So if someone is not having a good time, I try to make them feel better. I feel that’s my role.”

If you read the whole piece, O’Riley speaks about the bond all the players have and that there are no cliques within the dressing room, which he admits freely happens at other clubs.

And you can see that when the players do their post-match lap thanking the fans for their support.

There is a togetherness in this team I have not seen since the Martin O’Neill era.

And we all know what happened during his tenure at Celtic Park.

It’s the dreaded international break. So take away the boredom and try our *BRAND NEW* quiz. Who are Celtic’s most capped players from these countries?
