THE job that Ange Postecoglou has done so far at Celtic Park has been remarkable. After inheriting a team of wantaway players that had their dominance of Scottish football ended in emphatic fashion in the previous campaign, the Parkhead club have reclaimed their Premiership crown in style as new players have arrived a different approach to playing the game has been implemented.
It all could have been so very different, though. Celtic supporters will need little reminder of the club’s prolonged pursuit of Eddie Howe last year that ultimately proved fruitless. Fans now consider that whole saga a blessing in disguise thanks to Postecoglou’s subsequent impact but the Greek-Australian experienced a sliding doors moment of his own last summer.
