Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has dismissed the notion of Joe Hart having to apologise for his mistake against RB Leipzig.

The Englishman passed the ball straight to Dominik Szoboszlai who fed Andre Silva for the goal that put the Bundesliga side back in front before the forward then added another to end the match 3-1.

After the game, the ex-Manchester City man held up his hands and took responsibility for the error.

However, the Hoops boss was keen to stress that the defeat was not down solely to the goalkeeper and he wasn't expecting an apology to the team.

He said: "That's not the way football works, mate.

 "At this level, if you play for survival that's all you ever get - you never really get anywhere.

"It's not about the mistake. It's about before then. We had a lot of the ball and we were just passing it back to him for no reason.

"You are doing what you think is safe but it's not really what we are.

"I just felt it was creeping in before that after we scored we wanted to settle for that and started passing the ball back to him.

"It is about what is the lead-up to the mistake, are we playing our football.

"Are we showing the same sort of endeavour we were before then?

"I could see it coming, if it wasn't Joe making the mistake today it would have been someone else."
