    I like the cut of his jibe. Followed this guy for 2 days and can tell he's going to be a star. Finally we can attack. Spend some dingo dollars and get him a squad capable of winning this league!

    Sure we missed out on howe, a relegation candidate, but we went out and took the next man with style and flare.


    Cant wait for preseason now you mad aussie * :56:

    Honestly, there’s a part of me that’s excited. Possibly because it’s not Lennon and I’m just buzzing to move on from that period.

    Celtic Football Club is delighted to announce that it has appointed Ange Postecoglou to the position of Football Manager.

    Ange joins Celtic from Yokohama F. Marinos, where he has delivered the J League title. Previously he has also won Premiership and Championship Titles in Australia’s A League.

    As Head Coach of the Australian National team, Ange lifted the Asian Cup in 2015, the first time the country had ever won this title. Ange also managed the Australian national team at the FIFA World Cup in 2014 in Brazil and led Australia to qualification in 2018 in Russia.

    A modern, progressive coach with exciting, attacking football as his philosophy, Ange has received a host of prestigious coaching accolades, including being named as Australia’s PFA Manager of the decade in 2015.

    Ange has successfully achieved UEFA recognition and endorsement in relation to his pro-Licence issued by Football Australia. He begins working immediately and will be arriving in Glasgow as soon as current protocols allow.

    Ange will meet up with the squad at Lennoxtown and will then lead the team to the Club’s pre-season training camp.

    Ange is delighted to join the Club and take up one of the biggest jobs in world football, and having signed a 12-month rolling contract, commented: “The opportunity that has been given to me is one of the greatest honours in football and the responsibility to lead our magnificent football club into the future is one that I will cherish dearly.

    “Celtic is one of THE names in world football, of that there is no doubt – a giant of a club, a proper footballing institution and so much more – real history, real substance, real authenticity and real soul. I know Celtic is a true way of life for so many people and I know the demands which come with this position – I am ready to do all I can to meet those demands.

    “I will be doing everything I can to get our great Club back on top and, at the same time, deliver the kind of football which our fans appreciate. We want to entertain our fans and we want to win, these are the objectives which I always set myself and which I now begin work on.

    “When you think of Celtic, you think of supporters and my dream is to see our fans back at Celtic Park with us as soon as possible. We all hope things are changing for the better and can see our fans soon as they are vital to everything I want to do. We need our supporters back by our side and I can’t wait to be with them back in a packed Paradise.

    “I have already had great discussions with Peter, Dom and the Board about their ideas and strategy for the future of the club. I know the Club’s new modern vision aligns very much with mine and we now look to go and deliver on this. In everything we do we aim to give our fans a successful team of real quality, which they are excited about and can be proud of.

    “We have already begun work on our plans for adding to the squad – we aim to bring players of quality to Celtic to enhance the existing core of great talent.

    “I very much look forward to meeting with the players on their return from the close season break and I can’t wait to get started as Celtic Manager.”

    So it's official, interestingly no mention of any backroom staff coming in with him unless I missed it. Looks like our worst fears, Kennedy and Strachan by his side.

    I think lennon would not lace his boots from a coaching / management perspective. lennon : celtic Bolton hibs - this guy has coached in emerging leagues with strong youth systems and on a world cup platform.

    I am not saying go orgasmic but lets see what happens in the first 3 months of his tenure.
    give the guy a chance see what he can bring.. football is worldwide he might be able to bring some talent from the Asian market as opposed to * half baked loan players.
    I can recall all the palava when wenger was appointed
    the biggest travesty will be if kennedy (especially as DoF!!!!!) and Strachan are kept on... with Strachan surely he was begging the club to sign toney this time last year?!… some of the players we could have had in over recent years.

    sick to the back teeth of the transfer decisions made by the board.

    Apprently using isolation period for transfers and backroom staff. Interesting he states that transfers have already been discussed so hopefully signings start to come in

    When the fans are absolutely desperate for a lift similar to what Rodgers signing gave us we roll out this guy and I really am ready to go to sleep. So underwhelming it's unbelievable.
