Meanwhile, former Celtic star Charlie Nicholas has expressed his uncertainty over the team’s defence, noting “there is a stuttering element” to Postecoglou's team “at the moment".
"For the first time since the early weeks of his Parkhead reign, he is having to question whether he's getting the balance right,” Nicholas wrote in his Daily Express column. “The centre-back pairing of Stephen Welsh and Moritz Jenz has looked vulnerable in their last two league games, while Josip Juranovic and Joe Hart have made bad mistakes.
"Defensively, I am concerned about the Leipzig game. That's why I'd take a draw without hesitation."
