Paul Lambert won eight major trophies in as many years at Parkhead and the former Scotland midfielder has enjoyed watching the current Hoops side blow away their domestic rivals for the last two seasons under Ange Postecoglou.
However, he insists that the Aussie must start to make inroads in Europe before he and his side can be considered all-time greats. Charlie Nicholas claimed recently that Postecoglou’s men are more exciting than Brendan Rodgers’ Invincibles and Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes added that the current Hoops side is the best he’s ever faced. Lambert believes it’s too early to make those comparisons, although he feels that Postecoglou will eventually claim his place in the club’s Hall of Fame.
“It’s always hard to compare teams from different eras, although the Lisbon Lions will always be the greatest – the club was build on the foundations of their success,” he said. Ange has done a great job since he came in, when he inherited what could be described as a shambles, with players who no longer wanted to be at Parkhead and others who should never have been there.
