Why isn't Kasper Høgh scoring for Celtic? "Get in the box." The panel on the kill zone between the posts, from six to 12 yards: Samaras and Pršo getting drawn into the channels, John Robertson's advice at Hearts, Kris Boyd, Haaland's goal for Man City, and how Kyogo, Dembélé and Edouard scored for Celtic.

Tam, you offer it because you're a striker, I like the fact that you offer it now because you're looking at from a coach's perspective, the amount of technical people, and you know in the early days, Tam, you're aware we had Austin MacPhee in, we've spoken to the boy Alan Russell, remember him, we've spoken to, so I've spoken to a lot of people who are dealing with the data, and dealing with the heat map, and you've pointed it out again there, just the kill zone. Yeah, absolutely, you've pointed it out from a coaching perspective, which is quite simply, you know by the way, get in the box.
