Ange Postecoglou reveals why Celtic star was out vs FK Jablonec
It was a brilliant performance on the part of Celtic as they came out of the second leg of their Europa League third qualifying round tie against FK Jablonec with a 3-0 win and a 7-2 win on aggregate.
David Turnbull, who has not been at his best this season, scored twice. While James Forrest got the third, as it looks like things are starting to turn around at Parkhead.
Some of the football that the side played was incredible and almost unrecognisable from just a month or so ago. This team is clearly starting to adapt to the style of football that Ange Postecoglou wants them to play. And there were several positives coming out of the game.
One worry though must have been the absence of Liel Abada from the matchday squad itself. While speaking with Celtic TV and as reported by The Herald, Postecoglou revealed that he had picked up a knock in training. It does not appear to be a serious injury though and the manager was hopeful that the winger would be back for this weekend’s match.

Abada has been a massive part of this Celtic team this season
Despite being just 19 years of age, Abada has come in and immediately made the right wing position his own in this team. And he has performed consistently there.
Yes, there are a few mistakes in his game but that is natural for a player who is still a teenager. On the other hand, it does look like he always has a goal or an assist in him, and there is no questioning his ability and effectiveness. He also appears to have a natural instinct in the box for being at the right place at the right time.
If he can continue to perform and develop, the sky is the limit for him and he will be a regular feature in this side for years to come.
