The Celtic supporters are like hospital visitors who have been asked to gather in the family room, having been told to ready themselves for news they’ve been dreading about a loved one.
Now, as well as bracing themselves for what may or may not be the details of Ange Postecoglou’s departure for Tottenham Hotspur, they have one other thing to do to tidy up their affairs. If the worst happens, the fans need to examine the contents of their hearts and minds to assess how they will remember, and judge, the man who’s left them for another club.
When cherished personalities leave Celtic, it’s customary for supporters to console themselves with the idea that person’s departure was as the direct result of a media-based conspiracy. A cold-blooded, malevolent strategy to undermine the club and bolster their greatest rivals, the team across the road on the other side of the city.
