Sir Alex Ferguson called it squeaky bum time. Others call it the business end. Ange Postecoglou reckons it’s just a Grand old time.
While others are getting twitchy, this is the time of the season the Celtic manager really gets his kicks. It’s when the hard work potentially pays off and the prizes are up for grabs – and the juices start really flowing for Postecoglou. He caught the bug a quarter of a century ago, when in his second season at South Melbourne he steered his side into the Grand Finals series – the end of term play-offs that determine the champions – on his way to his first piece of major silverware.
Postecoglou has been stockpiling them ever since. The league race turns into a knockout competition in his homeland but he still has that all or nothing attitude here, even if the format is different. Celtic have six Premiership games to go and a couple of wins will see them retain the title.
