Ange Postecoglou's Celtic mantra reverberates through dressing room as players echo boss in Rangers celebrations

Ange Postecoglou's "we never stop" mantra has been echoed throughout the celebrations after Celtic moved six points clear of Rangers.

The Parkhead side battled back after Aaron Ramsey's early goal to pick up a huge Ibrox win that leaves them with one hand on the Premiership title.

Tom Rogic and Cameron Carter-Vickers got the goals that turned the clash on its' head and they now have a huge margin for error heading into the final six league games.

In the build-up to the derby at Ibrox, Postecoglou had penned a passionate message to the fans which could be boiled down to a simple three-word mantra: we never stop.

He said: "My philosophy on the pitch is that we never stop. We aim to be relentless in our spirit and in our commitment. Playing attacking, entertaining football won’t always be easy but it will always be worth it.

"And for me, it will always be worth giving you a team you can be proud of."

And it seems the Celtic players are taking that to heart as it was a constant theme throughout their post-match social reactions.

Giorgos Giakoumakis quoted the manager directly as he said: "We never stop! Pure passion from the team today!"

Joe Hart wrote: "Huge win. Well played men, let's keep pushing hard. 700 fans were unreal, you gave us strength in a tough, tough game."

Reo Hatate added simply: "We keep going."

And the "we never stop" mantra even made it onto the caption of a hilarious pic shared by Carl Starfelt, showing Hatate and Jota sharing an ice bath.

Celtic are chasing a treble and face Rangers again at Hampden in two weeks in the Scottish Cup semi-final.

In the league, they now need just 13 points from the final six matches to guarantee the title, though that could change if Rangers drop points in their remaining games.

In addition to the cup clash there is one more league derby remaining after the split.
