Ange Postecoglou fires back at Celtic taunts from Beale and Johnson as he floats theory behind 'lucky' jibe

Ange Postecoglou reckons rival bosses are deliberately using words such as “easy” and “lucky” to take some shine from Celtic’s achievements.

The boss has hit back at notions success is simple for the Parkhead outfit and insists he and his team graft hard for what they get. Hibs boss Lee Johnson this week suggested Postecoglou might get to a point where it feels too easy in the Premiership. Previously, Rangers manager Michael Beale used the word lucky when discussing Celtic’s spending capacity in the transfer market.

Postecoglou has taken clear note and retorted: “Every manager is allowed to use their platform in any way they want and say what they want. I don’t think it’s accidental that the words lucky and easy are used. They aren’t words I would use to describe any manager. If you are in this job, irrespective of anything, the one thing you know is that it’s not easy. If people think I come in here at midday, spend a couple of hours, have a cappuccino and then go home to the family, then they are kidding themselves on.
