Charlie Nicholas ranks Ange as Celtic great with 'modest' spend making him best since Jock Stein

Charlie Nicholas reckons Ange Postecoglou's "modest" Celtic spend makes him their best boss since Jock Stein.

The Aussie is set to be confirmed as Tottenham's news manager after two years of almost non-stop success in Glasgow's East End, delivering five of the six domestic trophies available to him, in a style that had fans swooning. His departure is a blow, but not the perceived betrayal of which potential successor Brendan Rodgers was accused.

He's achieved what Rodgers and Martin O'Neill also did with the domestic clean sweep that was sealed with a 3-1 Scottish Cup Final win over Inverness CT at Hampden last Saturday. But Nicholas puts the Ange version above the other two based on spending less than O'Neill (in relative terms), who inherited a Celtic scoring legend, and the fact that Rodgers had no Rangers to contend with given they were still on their "journey" for part of his tenure.
