Eddie Howe's Celtic snub revisited as Chris Sutton declares 'nobody' could have topped Ange job

Chris Sutton reckons nobody could have masterminded a Celtic rebuild like Ange Postecoglou as he revisited Eddie Howe's near miss at Parkhead.

The former Bournemouth boss was on the look-out for his next job when he was edging closer to stepping into the hot seat at Celtic Park, but after drawn out talks over a move to the Scottish Premiership the deal collapsed and Howe opted to wait for his next step. The 45-year-old would eventually agree to take the top job at Newcastle United - and has led the cash-rich club to the Champions League spots in the Premier League.

After the knock-back from Howe, Celtic turned to Postecoglou - and the Australian has led the club to massive success while rebuilding the first-team squad. He led them to the Premiership title and League Cup during his debut campaign, and will look to go one better this term with the Hoops on course for a domestic Treble.
