I don’t think he’ll be rushing away, I don’t see him as that type of guy- Neil McCann’s Postecoglou confession

Neil McCann doesn’t see Ange Postecoglou walking out on a job that is at best half done.

Over four transfer windows covering 18 months the Celtic squad has been transformed, players reborn, new heroes uncovered with trophies delivered and Champions League football back in the diary.

It has been an incredible turnaround, achieved in a timescale that no one anticipated but as Postecoglou said on Day One of training We Never Stop.

Over the next four months there are very reasonable expectations of more prizes to come with Celtic winning 28, drawing once and losing once in this season’s domestic matches.

McCann has observed Postecoglou from the media gantry and has no doubt that there is much more to be achieved before any other job attracts the attention of the Celtic boss, whether it is Leeds United or anyone else.

Watching McCann discuss the Leeds issue on Sportscene, The Express reports the former Dundee boss saying:

I don’t think it will happen now. Ange never gives anything away and he never gives any oxygen to the fire either. He just kills the questions off very quickly because he’s just there to do a job for Celtic.

You can clearly see he’s got a lot of passion for the club. I would be very surprised if he walked out, even for such a great job at Leeds. I’d be surprised to see Ange walk out on a job that’s half done.

There’s nothing won yet. He’s got the League Cup final, he’s into the quarter-finals of the Scottish and they’ve got a comfortable lead in the Premiership. I don’t think he’ll be rushing away, I don’t see him as that type of guy.

Unless they come with a truck full of money for him and offer him something he wants in terms of football (incentives), because I don’t think he’s driven by money. It would have to be a football thing. Everybody else would like to see him disappear because he’s doing such a good job. But I can’t see him doing it.

Postecoglou remains on the same 12 month rolling contract that he signed when he first joined Celtic in June 2021.
