Ange gives Gordon Strachan extra Celtic attention as he ditches handshake for hugs

Ange Postecoglou doesn’t just feel joy at leading Celtic to trophies.

The manager also feels a deep sense of responsibility. Postecoglou says he’ll remember the day when he landed Celtic's 21st League Cup forever. But, as he did so in the presence of the likes of former boss Gordon Strachan, who he embraced after the game with a special hug after handshakes for the rest of the Viaplay Cup panel. Strachan has been a champion of Postecoglou and son Gavin makes up a vital part of his backroom team.

Postecoglou knows he needs to keep producing the triumphs, keep collecting the silverware. Keep creating magical moments just as those before him have done. After securing a third domestic trophy from four since he moved to Scotland, Postecoglou said: “I’m very pleased and proud of the players and staff. We have worked very hard for a long time and part of the process of working hard is to get rewarded for it so you can keep working hard. The boys get the reward which I think is well deserved for them.
