Ange Postecoglou knows exactly what fans in the stands in his homeland will be thinking about these Sydney Cup clashes. Because if he wasn’t Celtic manager he would be right in there with them.
Postecoglou grew up craving the chance to see top sides in the flesh instead of needing an alarm call to wake up and watch them on screen. Which makes this trip all the more special for the Aussie.
Postecoglou doesn’t see Thursday morning's game against Sydney FC and Sunday’s encounter against Everton as just a couple of bounce matches. He sees them as a chance to give something back to the legions of expat fans and supporters who have travelled around the world to cheer on their heroes. And deep down there’s also a part of him desperate to put on a show for the Australian public who have been roaring him on from afar.
