The table for eight at a Glasgow restaurant had already been booked. Ange Postecoglou’s wife, Georgia, had it all planned.
After the Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers at Hampden, they were going out with friends who’d travelled 10,000 miles across the globe from Australia to see them. But there was one thing Mrs Postecoglou hadn’t taken into consideration. Losing.
And that’s something her husband isn’t used to. The Celtic boss doesn’t like it. And certainly doesn’t feel like wining and dining after it. So Georgia was entertaining on her own that night back in April last year. Her man’s team were defeated 2-1 in extra-time, ending hopes of a domestic Treble. Postecoglou simply didn’t show up for dinner. He couldn’t face it. Being Australian, he has always been built to win. But with Postecoglou that means more than just the result. He has to win. But he also has to do it in a certain way.
