That’s how Ange Postecoglou describes the perception of him when he arrived at Celtic two years ago. But who’s laughing now?
The Hoops boss delivered a world record eight Treble for the club at Hampden yesterday by seeing off Inverness Caley Thistle in the Scottish Cup Final. And irrespective of whether he’ll still be at Parkhead or in London with Spurs - no-one can say he hasn’t left an imprint on the club.
Before skipper Callum McGregor lifted the trophy, 45,000 Celtic fans sang Postecoglou’s name in unison. They’ve forged a bond with the Australian and don’t want to see it broken. Postecoglou savoured that moment in front of the supporters. Because he knows that when he turned up in Glasgow as second choice to Eddie Howe from the Japanese J-League, there were sceptics everywhere.
