Msn.com – GLASGOW, Celtic manager Ange Postecolou has demonstrated a number of outstanding traits and philosophies since walking through the doors of Parkhead.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A swashbuckling press has been combined with relentless attacking dynamism on the field of play, but the Australian has been just as successful behind closed doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he first arrived in Glasgow, a mass rebuilding job was required to turn the tide in Scotland. Their biggest rivals had just won the league and in the process, put a stop to Celtic\u2019s dominance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in 2021\/22, they have reasserted themselves as the best in the land and sit six points ahead of Rangers in the Premiership table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s due to the groundwork behind the scenes by Postecoglou, who has brought in\u00a014 new faces\u00a0and ensured a swift initiation for them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s helped has been bringing in a host of players ready to test themselves at a famous club, dipping his toes into the lesser-known leagues by signing the likes of Liel Abada, Kyogo Furuhashi, Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Celtic boss must do the same this summer too, by looking towards the UAE to bring a certain Mehdi Ghayedi to the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u00a0reportedly\u00a0had a bid rejected for him in January but must consider reviving their hunt for the Iranian in the summer, especially if Jota leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dazzling Portuguese wide man is only on loan in Scotland but could sign permanently from Benfica in a deal worth\u00a0\u00a36.5m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should they decide against that, then Ghayedi would certainly be a perfect replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bhoys Analytics have already\u00a0dubbed\u00a0the exciting winger as a \u201cJota-type trickster\u201d and by watching clips of him in action, it\u2019s clear to see why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His dribbling is mesmerising with the 23-year-old\u00a0labelled\u00a0as Iran\u2019s \u201cfuture standout\u201d man, possessing the qualities to dance and weave his way past defenders with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That quality has been synonymous with Jota throughout his time on British shores and demonstrates why the Iranian would be such a perfect heir on Celtic\u2019s flanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his club career, he has also shown a relentless knack for scoring goals, finding the back of the net on\u00a042 occasions\u00a0to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skilful, tricky, efficient and most importantly, clinical, Celtic must certainly include the young attacker on their wishlist this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
