Postecoglou not factoring World Cup into Celtic team selection

0

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou will not let World Cup squad announcements influence his own team selection for the final two Scottish Premiership matches before the break.

Aaron Mooy has been named in the Australia squad to join Japan forward Daizen Maeda in being confirmed for the tournament in Qatar, while Reo Hatate, Kyogo Furuhashi and Denmark U21 international Matt O'Riley have missed out.

United States defender Cameron Carter-Vickers is awaiting news of his fate, while Josip Juranovic is on a 34-man longlist for the Croatia squad and Jota is in a larger provisional squad for Portugal.

Postecoglou remains intent on taking maximum points from the trip to Motherwell on Wednesday and the final match before the break against Ross County.

"Our main focus is still us and trying to maintain a level of performance while making sure we don't overburden any players," he said.

For the most part we have done that. There are two or three who have probably played more than others but for the most part we have rotated the squad with performance in mind. It's no different for these last two games.

"I will pick a team that I think will get the job done for us and gives us the best chance of success, and it will be the same on the weekend
