Ange Postecoglou reckons the bookies would have happily taken anyone’s money who wanted to bet on the Aussie managing 100 games as Celtic manager.
But he’ll reach that milestone at home to Hearts on Wednesday night with one Premiership title and two League Cups in the bag, and is the favourite to add at least another Championship as well as a Scottish Cup to his collection as he approaches the end of his second full campaign in the Parkhead hot-seat.
While every Celtic, and for that matter Rangers, manager will be judged on how full the trophy cabinet is at the end of each season, that’s not what motivates Postecoglou. He accepts that those are necessary if he wants to keep his job long term, but he gets his kicks from seeing how his squad has evolved and the style in which they win those prizes. That gives him more job satisfaction than seeing the green and white ribbons on the silverware.
