Scottish Premiership boss' Ange Postecoglou Leeds United quip after Ally McCoist remark

Livingston manager David Martindale has claimed he's willing to split a business-class air ticket with Ally McCoist to send Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou to Leeds United.

The Scotsman joked that after hearing Rangers legend McCoist had offered to drive the Celtic boss to Elland Road for free, he said he'd chip in with a business-class ticket for the Greek-Australian manager if McCoist went 50/50 on it with him.

Martindale's side were on the losing end against Postecoglou's men at the start of the month, when goals from Greg Taylor, Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi led Celtic to a 3-0 win over Livingston at Celtic Park.

"We kind of know how Rangers will play but I kind of know how Ange is going to play as well – I still can’t stop him," Martindale said earlier this week.

"I actually put his CV into Leeds! I saw Ally McCoist saying he would drive him down but I called him and said I’ll half him for a business class air ticket!"

Despite Postecoglou's remarks that his focus was fully on managing Celtic and not jumping ship to the Whites, rumours continue to link him to the role at Elland Road that has not yet been filled after Jesse Marsch's sacking last week.
