Ange Postecoglou says he wants to repay the passion for Celtic from supporters he can't compare with - as players' loved ones vie for golden Hampden tickets.
The Australian is looking to retain the Viaplay Cup final this Sunday when his holders meet rivals Rangers at the national stadium. Half the stadium will be a wall of green and white noise while thousands more will cheer them on up and down the country, with Postecoglou well aware what's riding on it.
He has poured passion into Celtic since his arrival in summer 2021 but admits it's hard for him to get near what a punter gives towards the club on a regular basis. It's why he is so keen to deliver a third trophy under his tenure, telling Viaplay: "My passion for this football club can't match the passion and investment of our supporters. I am very invested in this sport and it's been my one obsession. It's given me everything I have good in my life, so I understand what it is to love something that much and I understand how supporters feel about this football club, so it's easy to relate to. In many senses I was craving that as a lot of my early journey particularly in Australia, it was the one thing that was missing.
