The Daily Record is tying itself in knots over their desperation for clicks and for the departure of Ange Postecoglou from Celtic.
On Tuesday the Glasgow publisher created stories around Chris Sutton, Ally McCoist and Jason Cundy’s thoughts on the Celtic boss quitting to join Leeds.
Veteran reporter Keith Jackson then got reassurances from Celtic top brass that Michael Nicholson and Peter Lawwell weren’t concerned by the speculation.
After West Brom provided a new contract for Carlos Corberan attention switched to Andoni Iraola of Real Vallecano.
With the prospect of Iraola not moving to Yorkshire there is renewed excitement this morning at the Record that the guy winning matches and trophies for Celtic could be about to quit:
Just when Celtic thought Leeds United had their new boss lined up, the possibility of an approach for Ange Postecoglou is alive again after their first choice said no.
Rayo Vallecano boss Andoni Iraola looked set to bet Jesse Marsch’s replacement at Elland Road after he was sacked this week. But the Spaniard has now reportedly decided against making the move to Yorkshire, forcing the club hierarchy to move on to other targets.
Feyenoord coach Arnie lot has emerged as the new favourite. However, Postecoglou remains in the mix, alongside former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo and former River Plate head coach and Argentina international Marcello Gallardo.
It is unclear what sources Record Sport has inside Leeds United.
Radar? I’m sure I’ve read that phrase before, let me think…

I listened to 5 Live on Tuesday night and when they discussed the Leeds job and in the first five minutes while I listened Ange wasn’t mentioned.
I did have to go out after that so he may have been discussed later.
I think the people in England know more about what’s going on at Leeds than our hacks.
Ange has been linked to the Leeds job by the SMSM because he is doing so well at CELTIC …Strange That because the SMSM have been telling us how Beale is the best manager ever……in the whole wide world
Nobody’s told that Alky anything, just made up CRAP!
