The Desperate Record go all in with Ange For Leeds

With no starlets arriving at Ibrox this week or midweek matches to preview the sacking of Jesse Marsch has provided the Daily Record with some welcome content.

Every EPL managerial vacancy is quickly followed by speculation linking AN Other with a swoop for Ange Postecoglou- the sort of theory that brings a warm glow to the hearts of the Record’s army of readers.

When the former Yokohama F Marinos boss was introduced as the new Celtic manager in May 2021 it only added to the celebrations associated with winning the Lockdown title.

On top of trashing George Square to celebrate winning a football trophy the loyal bears could look across the city, gloat and take in Dave King’s House of Cards prediction.

After laughing at a fifty-something Australian trying to take on the might of Steven Gerrard’s Invincible s (except for cup competitions) there was sneering at the arrival of Kyogo Furuhashi who was never likely to be dubbed El Buffalo by the failing Glasgow publisher.

Now onto his third Ibrox opponent, Postecoglou has turned out to be the real deal with a nine point lead and massive goal difference cushion over Mister Beale’s side.

At some stage Postecoglou will leave Celtic, it could be in the next 18 months but only the gullible and deluded would be going all in on the hoops boss jumping ship to try and prevent Leeds United being relegated. Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Mister Gerrard don’t seem to be among the list of candidates for the vacancy.

Meanwhile the search continues in Motherwell for billionaires.

But he’s not got much to say about a decade of financial doping at Manchester City.
