The 3 Celtic exit chances Ange Postecoglou 'rejected' before Tottenham switch and why Spurs stood apart from EPL rival

Ange Postecoglou reportedly knocked back approaches from three different Premier League clubs in the last nine months - before finally agreeing to join Spurs earlier this week.

The Greek Aussie takes over in North London and was announced just days after sealing a Treble at Celtic. He won five domestic trophies out of six at Parkhead and leaves them in a far stronger position than he found them when he took over a club entrenched in turmoil two years ago.

He leaves the club on better terms than many of his predecessors having decided against a Brendan Rodgers-esque mid-season exit, refusing to even speak about the chance to leave before he finished the job at Hampden. It leaves Celtic with weeks to make an appointment before pre-season starts while it gives Postecoglou an entire summer to get to grips with life in the Premier League.
