Everything Ange Postecoglou told Celtic TV after the 2-0 win over Hibernian...
What were your thoughts?
It was a solid first half. We started really well - I thought the first 30-35 minutes we were really bright with good tempo. We created a lot of chances again but were a bit wasteful in front of goal. The second half wasn't as dominant in terms of creating opportunities but I still felt we had most of the control of the game. It's a fine balance - the boys haven't played for three weeks and they were fresh, but we looked a bit rusty with some of our passing as well. Hopefully that will improve.
How impressed were you with Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda's debuts?
Yeah the boys both did well. I guess that's the advantage of getting them in for the first training session - well Reo got in a few days later but they've had a good week or 10 days with the boys and that's helped them settle in. They're both naturally fit guys anyway so I wasn't really concerned too much it was just a matter of them understanding the game. I thought today was a good game to expose those two to what it's like playing for this football club at home.

You got minutes into the legs of some of the guys returning, will you be hoping to use the again going into the cup tie (against Alloa) at the weekend?
Well there are plenty of games so we're going to need all of them. There will be plenty of opportunities for all of them to get some game-time. We know in the first half of the season we struggled at times with absences. We want to make sure we've got a strong enough squad now to withstand that - we'll give game-time to the guys to make sure they're up and ready to go.
