Watch as Spurs fans sing Ange Postecoglou's name using old Celtic chant

It appears that Ange Postecoglou has won over the hearts of the Tottenham faithful already.

This is the moment that Spurs fans chanted the Autralian's name after they watched their side dispatch Manchester United 2-0 in North London.

A video circulating online shows hundreds of Spurs fans packed in the concourse of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium celebrating their side's win.

And by praising their club's new boss, they used a chant used by Celtic fans to rejoice about the 57-year-old's work.

Simply repeating 'Ange Postecoglou', the Spurs supporters were in great spirits as they partied on their way out of the ground on Saturday evening.

It's believed the chant was originally made by Celtic ultras the Green Brigade during Postecoglou's two-year stint in Glasgow.

As well as after the match, with the videos of the celebrations going viral online, the chant could be heard inside Spurs stadium throughout the second half. 

Pape Sarr's strike along with a late Lisandro Martinez own goal secured all three points for the hosts on Postecoglou's first home match as a Premier League boss.

It ensured Spurs' unbeaten start continued after a 2-2 draw at Brentford last weekend.

After the game, Roy Keane was full of praise for the way Postecoglou has simplified things in the Spurs first-team. 

He told Sky Sports: "He doesn't complicate the game, does he? He keeps it very simple.

"Obviously we've seen the stuff before at his previous clubs, particularly when he was with Celtic and a lot of the stuff he's saying is just common sense.

"And maybe a club like Spurs and the Tottenham players needed that. Listen, we can all complicate the game but he seems to simplify it very well."
