Everything the manager said to Celtic TV following his side's 2-1 Sydney Super Cup defeat to Sydney FC at the Allianz Stadium...

What did you make of that exercise?

Look, it's fair to say we were nowhere near the level we need to be. It was an entertaining game, plenty of goalmouth action from both teams but we were well off it today. To Sydney's credit, especially in the first half, they had the better chances and deserved to win.

A mix of boys who have played a lot and some younger ones getting an opportunity, from that side of things how do you think the team performed?

As I said, we were well off it, irrespective of players who have been playing or haven't been playing. We were nowhere near the level we needed to be. In football, if you're not you don't get the outcomes you need. We'll recover from this and get ready for Sunday.

What did you make of the support?

Yeah, brilliant as always. Whether it's back home or around the world our supporters are passionate about the football club and make a great atmosphere. Unfortunately we couldn't reward them tonight but hopefully on Sunday.

How do you treat these next few days in the build-up to the Everton game?

We'll just recover from tonight and have a session on Saturday and prepare as we always do: try to make sure we have a good mindset, the mindset we need to be successful.
