Ange Postecoglou

"Scathing response"?

Why the * was he asked a question that has * all to do with Him or the club?

These * try so hard to goad him and fail everytime.....You aint gonna catch him out.

 

Thank you Ange after a bad day I needed that , thanks for putting an almighty grin on my face. The man is another Mr Celtic hero, now get the job finished Sunday Bhoys

 

Haha what a * response! Love it!

 

Big Ange has these daft reporters in his back pocket. Our European Cup win will always stick in the huns craw especially knowing they will never even come close to it.

 

Huns are spewing

 

* glorious

 

The thing I love the most about that is I don’t even think it’s a dig, time and time again this season he’s not been drawn in to talk about them at any stage. He’ll always make any question about us. He’s doing that there still, and that’s the way we should be at every single level of the club. They’re inconsequential. It’s about us. Always.

 

What a fooking bhoy

 

100% this. That's his whole approach - focus on what we do and what makes us better no matter what. No distractions.

Same goes for poor refereeing, injuries, call ups to national teams. Not his problem. Never stop.

 

Well said.

The guy's a real winner, not to mention vastly experienced. He's probably learnt that if you give players an opportunity to look for excuses, they will.

Bad refs, injuries, etc. are all ready-made excuses, but at the end of the season when the trophy is being handed out, ultimately mean nothing.

 

The fact he was asked a question about huns in our presser is a joke. But the fact they are all having kittens is even funnier, knuckle draggers fall for media stirring every time cause their Stauch-o-meter goes off

 

The sevco media strike again please ghod give us title on Sunday I will enjoy it soooooooo much

 

It’s a prematch presser for a game against them

 

That's a fair point

 

Ange Postecoglou has vowed his all out Celtic will go for the title jugular against Rangers.

And he has backed “special” Kyogo Furuhashi to be among those Parkhead players ready to decide a key moment and move the team towards something special.

Postecoglou and his pumped-up side are on the brink of glory with a six-point lead over their Ibrox rivals with just four games to go.

Success over Giovanni van Bronckhorst ’s team will just about seal the trophy due to their superior goal difference.

Celtic also have the advantage of knowing a point would keep them firmly in control of the title race. But Postecoglou has urged his men to seize their chance to win and move towards the final step.

He said: “Another club might take a different approach and I’d understand that because a draw would be a positive result with only three games to go. But we wouldn’t because that just hasn’t been our approach all year.

“It just hasn’t been the way we’ve gone about it. It’s just not our nature or the kind of team we want to be.

“Particularly at home, against any opposition, I can’t imagine there would ever be a scenario where we’d ever not go for three points. That’s what our supporters would expect and it’s our expectation.

“The reason we’re sitting in the position we are now is because home and away we go into every game trying to be the team trying to get three points.

“I don’t know if it’s just getting over the line. What you want to do is run through the line as hard as possible.

“We’ve worked hard to get to this spot where we know a strong performance and a win gets us really close to it. It’s exciting and we’re looking forward to it.

“The worst thing for any manager at this time of the year is if you aren’t playing for anything and are counting down the weeks until the end.

“But we have so much to play for and such a big prize, I’m super delighted we’re in the position where we can take that final step. I love that we have that challenge ahead of us.

“After Sunday if we are successful it takes us a step closer and you kind of know we would then be in a position to create something special.”

Postecoglou is without Josip Juranovic but Nir Bitton could return from injury and the manager has big calls to make.

Kyogo and Giorgos Giakoumakis look to be jostling for a starting slot in attack and Postecoglou insists both could have key roles. But the Hoops boss has singled out the outstanding talents of the Japanese star.

He said: “He’s a special player. He has those unique qualities that only certain kinds of players have in moments in games. Particularly in big games he wants to be the man in that position and more often than not he takes it.

“His movement is unbelievable and he has a really strong mentality in himself that when the big moments arrive he wants to be the man there.

“We’re going to need that on Sunday because we know it’s going to be another tight contest.

“It could come down to different moments when you need players to stand up and he’s certainly one that if it does come to him he won’t shy away from it.

“We can play them both and it’s not always about the guys who start either.

“Since January we’ve had contributions from a whole host of players, as opposed to earlier in the season when we didn’t have Giakoumakis or Kyogo. That was a tough time.

“Yes, both of them could start but if one or the other starts the other can come on and make an impact and that’s going to be important.”

 

howling at this

 

Listening to Ange’s press conference, him talking about his staff, I hope all our fans are listening to what he’s saying with that. He appreciates what he inherited and the skillset, and loves how much they’ve absolutely formed round what he wants.

He thrives off that.

He uses the word principles a good few times. It’s his principles, that they all buy into and enhance.

 

Said something similar in the open goal interview aswell. Any coaches that dont buy into or believe in him will be out the door.

Early days but he's already brought in data analytics guys and a sports scientist. Can't wait to see what else he overhauls in the summer. Maybe we'll look back on him one day and see the full picture of the work he's done off the pitch.

 

Mind when the huns died it was pretty much all they asked us about. You’d think the Scottish journalist profession was full of orange * or something

 

Nae point fighting it when you've made an * of it
