Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is confident of achieving success with the fallen Scottish giant and isn't worried about time despite a rocky start to his life in Glasgow.
The Hoops haven't yet won a competitive game under the Australian tactician, having been bundled out of the Champions League at the qualification stage and losing their opening Scottish Premiership match to Hearts on the weekend.
Postecoglou - who signed a 12-month rolling contract at Parkhead - brings a unique, attacking style of football to his clubs that has often ends in success, with the 55-year-old winning a J-League championship, four Australian league titles and achieving World Cup qualification with the Socceroos.

His first championships with Japan's Yokohama F.Marinos and Australia's Brisbane Roar were both achieved in his second season, with each side struggling to get used to Postecoglou's style in the early days.
However, Postecoglou feels the adjustment of teams to his style of play is a created narrative by others and insists he will be successful at Celtic Park.
"I won a championship in both of my second seasons at those clubs (Brisbane Roar and Yokohama F. Marinos)," Postecoglou said in an exclusive interview with Sporting News.
"I think people paint a narrative about how much time it actually takes [for adjustment].
"I don’t worry about those things. There is a certain way I want the team to play and I do that from the first day I take over - and we build towards that.
"Wherever I’ve been it’s ended up successful - so it’s what I’ll do here."
Celtic had won nine consecutive Scottish league titles before city rivals Rangers - under Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard - streaked to the championship last season by a 25-point margin and an unbeaten record.
When asked what his goals were as Celtic boss, Postecoglou didn't set any specific targets but made it clear he was confident of getting the Hoops back to the top.
"My goals are the same everywhere else I have been: to get the team playing football that I know can make us successful," he said. "That’s a process we’ve already begun.
"If the team plays the kind of football I know will excite the fans, the kind of football I know I can shape in a team, success follows that. For me, that’s the paramount thing - getting the team playing the football I want.
"After that we’ll see where that takes us but from my personal experience that usually means we are successful."
