Aaron Mooy knew all about the dreaded death seat next to Ange Postecoglou on the Australia team flights. But he might not even be safe at the family dinner table after sealing his dream move to Celtic.
At work he’ll be reunited with a manager he admits still has the fear factor. And at home he now has a Hoops daft father-in-law who’ll be ever bit as demanding. Mooy laughs off the potential pressure of having to keep the pair of them sweet as signing for Celtic is just about the perfect move for him.
The 31-year-old had a home in Glasgow with his Scottish wife Nicola and his new club has a familiar face at the helm after their time with the Socceroos. Back then the squad used to joke about avoiding the seat next to Postecoglou on the plane as the famously quiet gaffer could quite easily sit in awkward silence on a 15 hour long haul trek.
