Reaction to comic Celtic own goal: 'As much as I’d love to control them like that FIFA stuff ...'
The Croatian defender chested the ball back towards his goal after a hopeful Blair Spittal cross, expecting keeper Joe Hart to be there to collect. However, the Englishman had move to the side to take the cross and therefore the ball trundled towards goal and despite Hart’s best efforts, it crossed the line.
Celtic recovered to win 2-1 and asked if there was a breakdown in communication between Hart and Juranovic, manager Postecoglou said: “Totally. There was no one else around them. But these things happen in football, you kind of know.
