He didn’t come all this way – and end up in Scottish football’s madhouse – for a quiet life. But even so, Ange Postecoglou can do without some of the noise which comes with the job of managing Celtic.
No dramas. No distractions. Just business. That’s the way the big Aussie likes it. And it’s why he could hardly see Giorgios Giakoumakis off the premises quickly enough after the Greek and his advisers started throwing their toys out of the pram towards the end of last year.
Postecoglou’s parting shot spoke volumes when asked if Giakoumakis had found himself a new club. “If you’re on Instagram, you’ll probably get the details before me”. Or words to that effect. And it didn’t need subtitles to work out the manager’s message. So it’s no wonder Postecoglou has found such a kindred spirit in captain Callum McGregor, a player who personifies the same no-fuss all-focus approach to winning football matches.
