Everything Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou had to say in his after his side's penalty shootout defeat to Everton.

Was it disappointing to lose the Sydney Cup?

No. I wouldn't say it was disappointing. I was disappointed there weren't any goals for the fans but the performance was decent and I thought we dominated the game. We were just missing a goal and we missed some great chances and their keeper pulled off some good saves. I think that was much more like us in terms of our general play and laying out football. I was just disappointed there weren't any goals for the supporters, but in terms of our performance, I was happy.

It was a very competitive fixture, wasn't it?

It was decent. Both teams played last week and they are not out of condition. The trip can take its toll but the match was played at a decent tempo with decent intensity and we were just missing a goal in terms of our performance.

Can you take a lot of positives from dominating a team from England?

We were just more like ourselves, we were aggressive when we needed to be and we were decent when we had the ball. We were aggressive when we didn't have it and that was a lot better tonight. I think some of the boys have acclimatised now, and I could see in training and on the pitch that they were much better and more like themselves. We were just missing a goal, but overall the performance was good.

Celtic Way:

Back at the Accor Stadium, familiar surroundings do you get sentimental?

I am not really the sentimental type. We got the job done here with Australia and it was a great night. You kind of move on from those things and always look ahead. It has been great to be back home and just brilliant to see the support we have had. Not me personally, but the football club and walking the streets of Sydney and just seeing Celtic shirts everywhere is just brilliant to see. We know the enormity of the football club but the distance doesn't diminish the passion, and the supporters are just as passionate here, watching the team play.

Can you see Celtic coming back here again?

This is the third time now that the club has been here in the near/distant past. The club realises that its reach is global and in every part of the world, there are Celtic supporters. You have got to share the love around and we may go to other areas first.
