In many ways it was the short straw, the Celtic player selected by the club to join Ange Postecoglou in the media duties yesterday ahead of this evening’s League Cup Quarter Final against Raith Rovers at Celtic Park.

“Where we felt we went wrong, how to put things right and put our style of play to good use. It’s just about doing that in every game and we have gone over that and, hopefully, it starts clicking for us now,” Turnbull said.
