At a forum with Celtic supporters last season, Ange Postecoglou was asked what the club could do to retain the services of their manager for a lengthy period of time. Within months of his appointment, the Australian, quite clearly, was revered.
Postecoglou’s reply echoed the intensity that exists within Scottish football, and Glasgow especially. He articulated how he had spent a coaching career longing for this kind of environment. A deep understanding and acceptance of this domain, allied to the demands which come with it, partly explain why Postecoglou’s Celtic perform with such unrelenting intensity.
