POSTECOGLOU TELLS HOOPS TO EMBRACE HYPE

- SCOTT McDERMOTT

ANGE POSTECOGLOU has ordered his Celtic players to embrace the hype ahead of today’s Scottish Cup semi-final showdown with Rangers.

The Hoops can move a major step closer to a fifth treble in six seasons when they face their Old Firm rivals at Hampden.

Postecoglou has urged his players to create history and explained he sees no good in underplaying the occasion ahead of such a big game.

The Celtic boss said: “My experience with these things, there’s no point trying to disguise it as something it isn’t.

“You can go in there and say that it’s just another game and treat it just like another game, but I think you lose the unique aspect of the fact that you want your players to embrace the big occasion and play in a big game.
