For the third Monday running Ange Postecoglou is dominating Keith Jackson’s thoughts.
The award-winning Daily Record reporter is informing readers of how Micky Beale’s mind games have rattled Ange Postecoglou’s cage.
Strangely Jackson doesn’t give any examples of changes in the behaviour of the Celtic boss, every press conference is the usual mixture of contempt and disdain for the obvious agenda of those that are desperate to see Postecoglou fail.
So far he hasn’t, one SPFL defeat in 16 months is decent going, it has seen off two Ibrox managers with a rookie third playing to the gallery every time he opens his gob. Three derby day victories during 2022 firmly turned the tide.
Since his visit to Ibrox on January 2 Postecoglou has blanked all attempts to get him to discuss the Tribute Act and their hugely impressive new manager.
In contrast Beale knows every detail of every Celtic transfer, after discussing Celtic to newspapers he arranged an exclusive interview with BBC Scotland to go into more detail about the SPFL leaders.
After reporting through a Quadruple Treble that saw newspaper circulation fall through the floor the prospect of Postecoglou creating similar domination has more than a few reporters well and truly rattled.

Only rattling is between your ears , stealing a wage writing this pish?

Far from being rattled
Ange agreed that he is lucky to be at Celtic, a well run club that hasn’t been put on any UEFA finance watchlist
Must be really ‘unlucky’ to be on one ?
Oh, and there’s another new arrival coming this week. Seems like Ange is about to Beales cage again ?— Tony Hayes ? ??????? (@TonyH_Pattaya) January 23, 2023
Leave poor Keef alone, he’s still waiting for that Motherwell born billionaire to rescue his team,after his former boss SDM had to sell for a £1. How is your billionaire watch going Keef, wee clue look to the east end we have 2 real billionaire involved.

‘briniing half the far east with him to Glasgow’
A bit racist by Keith Jackson.— K1000000, Scotland (@K1000000Scotla1) January 23, 2023
Says the man who tagged Craig Whyte as a “Motherwell born billionaire” ??
By writing this he immediately got nearly all Rangers fans onside of Whyte (despite what Alistair Johnstone and other Rangers directors knew about Whyte).
The rest was history.
Cheers Keith ??— Cautious Dave (@cautiousdave) January 23, 2023

Anges’ cage is that ‘rattled’ he managed to maintain a 9 point lead when playing his so called ‘ nearest rivals ‘ last month ?
