It’s a sign of how much belief Ange Postecoglou had instilled in his Celtic team. Of how much he’d improved players during his reign at Parkhead. And also, how humility is arguably the biggest strength of the squad he’s left behind.
Matt O’Riley had no idea that his gaffer was on his way to Spurs when he sat down to discuss his development under Postecoglou and what the future might hold. Off the back of another successful campaign, the Hoops midfielder was looking ahead to more progress – individually and collectively – under the Australian gaffer.
Whether that happens with Celtic’s new boss, whoever it may be, remains to be seen. But O’Riley’s points are still valid, regardless. He talked about taking his own game on to a new level with Postecoglou in charge. He claimed several players who were signed by their former manager have multiplied their own transfer value through their performances.
