- Bhoys backed by Strachan
Celtic boss Gordon Strachan was pleased with the efforts of his players as they secured a 2-0 victory at Dundee United on Boxing Day.
Strachan gambled on handing a recall to centre-half Bobo Balde after more than a year out of the first-team picture and the big stopper was as solid as a rock at Tannadice.
"I'm pleased with all the performances, but I'm sure Bobo will get all the headlines and quite rightly because he's been out of the game for a while," Strachan commented.
"I felt this game needed a change in the back four and you could say Steven Pressley was a little bit unlucky to miss out.
"But, as I explained to him, sometimes managers have to make decisions like that and when you are a manager yourself, you will probably understand it."
