Ange Postecoglou issues strong Celtic response to 'decapitation' claims with 'what the hell am I doing here' quip

Ange Postecoglou has shrugged off Robbie Neilson's Celtic 'decapitation' comments - as he has no time for listening to what other managers say.

The Jambos boss claimed after his side's 3-1 defeat at Parkhead on Wednesday that rival players needed to be decapitated if they were to get a red card in Glasgow's east-end. It's a repeat of the match this Saturday on Scottish Cup quarter-final duty at Tynecastle and Postecoglou has had his day on Neilson's bold comments.

It's not something he is getting involved in, insisting when asked about the claims: "What other managers say or think is of no interest to me. I don’t know why I would take into account another person’s view of what I have seen. It doesn’t register with me and never has. Every manager has the right to analyse and summarise a game they want to, I have no issue with that.

“But does that mean I go away and say ‘Oh my God, look what the other bloke said or look at what some person said about our game, what the hell am I doing here’?”
