The mantra for his all-conquering Celtic side for the past two years has been ‘We Never Stop’. But for the Aussie at the helm a better-fitting slogan would be ‘No Hanging About’.
Unfortunately for Hoops fans that ethos looks to be following Ange Postecoglou out the door from London Road to London town, leaving his Parkhead revolution feeling like little more than a pit stop on a meteoric management journey. Every one of those supporters should be grateful. It’s easy to forget the sheer scale of the task the former Yokohama F Marinos boss faced when he touched down in the east end of Glasgow two years ago this week after months of prevaricating over Eddie Howe.
As one of the small band of Scottish football media that followed Celtic on their pre-season camp to Wales two summers ago, it was a privilege to get that first insight with the new man in charge. Looking at the squad at his disposal in Newport there was absolutely no hiding the size of the challenge.
