Aaron Mooy's Celtic transfer olive branch as Ange Postecoglou leaves Australia spat in the past for Parkhead reunion

Aaron Mooy is on the brink of being reunited with Ange Postecoglou by signing a one-year deal at Celtic - and the playmaker isn't short of an opinion when it comes to his former boss.

Mooy played for Postecoglou in the Australian national team so the Celtic boss knows all about the quality the midfielder can bring to his squad as he looks to add depth to his midfield following the departures of Nir Bitton and Tom Rogic at the end of last season. The 31-year-old has been back in Scotland after leaving Chinese side Shanghai Port, having moved to Britain when playing for Bolton and spent time with St Mirren on loan before he joined Manchester City and kickstarted his career.

He looks set to find his way back to the Scottish Premiership and will look to make his mark on the Champions League under Postecoglou next term, but the pair haven't always had a straightforward relationship. Tensions between the pair spilled over into the Australian media after Mooy was benched for a crucial Word Cup qualifier against Syria back in 2017.
