Ange Postecoglou in fresh Michael Beale swipe as Rangers boss 'lucky' jibe at Celtic still rankles

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has once again hit back at Rangers boss Michael Beale's 'lucky' claim and insists his success is built on nothing else but 25 years of hard work.

The Australian is clearly still not impressed by Beale's claim when he took over and suggested Postecoglou was a 'lucky man' because of the finances he had available to him as Celtic boss. But despite the jibe clearly still being something that rankles, Postecoglou insists it didn't motivate him and insists he would never use that language if the shoe was on the other foot because he knows how hard managers work.

Beale reckoned the former Socceroos boss was lucky because he was able to spend big on the likes of Jota, Cameron Carter-Vickers and others as he built his Celtic squad and Postecoglou hasn't forgotten it and he's had a fresh swipe at his Old Firm rival after beating him for a third time in four games, with the other match ending like a draw with a late equaliser.
