Guillem Balague has kicked off an Ange Postecoglou thread with his 1 million Twitter followers.
Acknowledged as one of the leading commentators on all matters Spanish the visit of Real Madrid is perfectly teed up as another season of Champions League football gets underway.
Glasgow and Madrid come together tonight with the links between football’s greatest competition stitched together by a Hungarian legend and the Greek immigrant who has evolved into one of the greatest figures in Australian sport.
Have you hear the beautiful link between @CelticFC manager Ange Postecoglou and @realmadrid via the legeng Ferenc Pukskas?

Two miles away from tonight’s venue Ferenc Puskas and his team-mates set the standard with a 7-3 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, a match that is one of the most revered in Real Madrid history.
Puskas’ journey took him to Australia, his influence rubbed off on Ange Postecoglou who will make his Champions League debut tonight, up against the manager that specialises in lifting the iconic trophy.
It should be quite a story for Ballague and his colleagues to cover tonight.
