Neil McCann Celtic Ange Postecoglou money poser as Leeds link shot down with football over cash call

Neil McCann believes money won't drive Ange Postecoglou out of Celtic although he admits many want the successful coach to 'disappear'.

Postecoglou has been linked in recent weeks to vacant top jobs in the English Premier League with Leeds United the latest name touted for the Hoops head coach. The Australian's success in Glasgow, aided by a domestic double in his first season in charge, has led many to believe the lure of a top role down south would be too much to reject despite his Parkhead focus claim.

Yet Ibrox hero McCann insists the gaffer is not one to be swayed by the finances of a potential exit and says that Postecoglou won't walk out out Lennoxtown with a league title still to secure and two domestic cups to chase including a big final with rivals Rangers.

He said on Sportscene : "I don't think it will happen now. Ange never gives anything away and he never gives any oxygen to the fire either. He just kills the questions off very quickly because he's just there to do a job for Celtic.

"You can clearly see he's got a lot of passion for the club. I would be very surprised if he walked out, even for such a great job at Leeds. I'd be surprised to see Ange walk out on a job that's half done.

"There's nothing won yet. He's got the League Cup final, he's into the quarter-finals of the Scottish and they've got a comfortable lead in the Premiership. I don't think he'll be rushing away, I don't see him as that type of guy.

"Unless they come with a truck full of money for him and offer him something he wants in terms of football (incentives), because I don't think he's driven by money. It would have to be a football thing. Everybody else would like to see him disappear because he's doing such a good job. But I can't see him doing it."
