Postecoglou: 'We must use disappointment to fuel title charge'

Celtic head coach Ange Postecoglou has urged his players to use the disappointment suffered from their Scottish Cup semi-final loss against Rangers as 'fuel' for their remaining fixtures in the Premiership title race.

The Hoops lost 2-1 after extra time against the Gers on Easter Sunday, with Scott Arfield cancelling out Greg Taylor's opener in normal time, before Carl Starfelt's own goal sent the Hoops crashing out in the last four.

While hopes of winning a domestic treble are now over, Postecoglou is keen to quickly move on from their defeat at Hampden Park and hopes his side can finish the season strongly as they bid to win the title back from their Old Firm rivals.

"It was a typical semi-final, very tight game. Both teams had their moments and they took theirs in extra time and unfortunately we couldn't get over the line, the Australian told BBC Sport.

"I don't think any player from either side left that pitch without giving everything they had. Games like these are decided on moments and unfortunately it didn't happen for us. You've got to understand that, take that disappointment and fuel it for future endeavours.

"We've had a lot of setbacks this year, we've just overcome them really well and overcome them really quickly. This is another one. We've got five games now to become champions and our goal is to play our best football in those five games and see out the season.

"[The fans] have been fantastic all year. I'm sure they're going home disappointed, as are they players, as are all of us. The important thing is we use that disappointment to fuel what's left of this season and make sure we finish it off in the right way and get the rewards that this group of players deserve.

Celtic currently sit top of the Premiership table, six points clear of Rangers in second place with just five league games remaining. body check tags ::
