Ever since Ange Postecoglou first pitched up in Glasgow back in the summer of 2021 and got his feet under the desk at Parkhead, the Celtic manager has enjoyed a fairly successful time of it. After inheriting a squad that had just scuppered its bid for 10-in-a-row, the Greek-Australian wasted no time overhauling the playing squad and introducing a new style of play.
Fast-forward 18 months and the mood music in Glasgow’s east end could hardly be more stark: Postecoglou has already brought home one cinch Premiership title and looks set to repeat the feat this year; his hit-rate in the transfer market is remarkable; and supporters have fallen in love with ‘Ange-ball’ and all the thrills that come with it.
For all the progress that has been made, however, there have been one or two areas of concern, too. Yes, the plethora of new arrivals at Celtic Park over the last year-and-a-half have undoubtedly improved the team and Postecoglou has a strong squad that gives him plenty of excellent options all over the park. But there is also a downside to the champions’ revolving-door transfer policy.
