Ange Postecoglou in Celtic TV confusion as he asks 'Am I not the Greek god?'

Pleased Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou couldn't resist a one-liner over his striker's Herculean efforts in a comfortable 4-0 win over Ross County.

The 56-year-old was full of praise for hat-trick hero Giorgos Giakoumakis but also provided the comedy after being teed up by club TV.

That win stretches Celtic 's lead to six points at the top of the Premiership and heaps pressure on champions Rangers ahead of their trip to Dens Park on Sunday.

If the Parkhead boss is feeling the heat with seven games to go then he certainly isn't showing it, and he even had some time for humour in the immediate aftermath of the Premiership rout over the Staggies.

A club reporter pondered: "The sun came out today, and our Greek god (Giakoumakis) inspired a hat-trick, how pleased are you with the form he is showing at the minute, and the smile he has on his face as he's playing?"

Postecoglou joked: "He's the Greek god, not me? All right, fair enough.

"He's done well, he's taken his goals really well, he benefits from the work of others and he knows that.

"With all our strikers, the rewards are there for you with the way we play, but we've got to invest in working hard when he don't have the ball.

"I thought both him and Daizen today were super with our press, I thought Jota was really good today."
