Celtic’s attacking football under Ange Postecoglou has them playing in the Champions League group stage for the first time in five seasons.
Postecoglou’s approach is a case of high risk for high reward and the 57-year-old has been linked with a Premier League move in recent months with Brendan Rodgers under pressure at Leicester.
Ahead of the key clash against RB Leipzig tonight, we take a look at his tactics as the Bhoys look to rise off the bottom of Group F.
Celtic and Leipzig went head-to-head less than a week ago and although the Scots fought well, individual quality meant that the German side came away 3-1 victors.
But with the reverse fixture coming so soon and a sold-out Celtic Park looming, this is the perfect opportunity for the Scottish side to pick up some valuable points.
The hosts are used to winning on a weekly basis due to the difference in class between Celtic, Glasgow rivals Rangers and the rest of the Scottish Premiership.

A rigid backline and minimal mistakes are required when playing in Europe and that was evident last Wednesday when Joe Hart’s wayward pass was punished by Leipzig as they restored their lead in Germany.
The crowd will play a huge role for the Hoopstonight but they need to be careful not to approach the game with too much naivety.
