Breaking down Celtic's 200 Ange Postecoglou goals

When Callum McGregor's 87th-minute piledriver nestled in the back of the Pittodrie net on Saturday, Celtic had reached a landmark.

The captain's match-winner was the 200th competitive goal the Hoops have scored across six competitions under Ange Postecoglou.

"That we score goals, yeah," Postecoglou said when asked what the statistic said about his team.

"Look it's who we want to be, home or away, you saw our approach today. We're going to go at teams and we want to entertain our fans and play our football and it served us well so far so we're going to continue to do that."

With the 201st surely on the horizon, let's break down the bicentenary in a bit more detail...
