Ange Postecoglou has resisted the temptation to respond to Michael Beale’s claim that there was a low probability of Celtic being overtaken in the SPFL title race.
The Celtic boss has been round the block enough times to know that what is said in a media conference might just vary to the message given out on the training ground and in the dressing room.
One defeat for Celtic could cut the gap at the top of the Premiership table down to six points- with two Glasgow derbies to come there would certainly be plenty to play for.
Beale is in his first season as a manager, if he thought that he was getting involved in mind games he picked the wrong victim in Postecoglou.

QUESTION: I just wanted to maybe touch on some of the comments that he heard from Michael Beale, I know that very often you guys won’t pay attention and focus on your own game but Michael Beale almost ruling it out, saying that the chances of catching you guys would be unlikely. Is that interesting or surprising that the Rangers manager said that?
After a moment or two of puzzlement and shaking his head..
Neither mate, I haven’t heard the comments, I think your original point is probably the most accurate- I just don’t pay any interest to it.
If Celtic can win their SPFL matches leading upto the April 8 Glasgow derby they will be in a very strong position to win a second successive title but until the gap is officially uncatchable there won’t be any celebrations inside Celtic based on opposition comments.

‘ Grumpy Ange in snarky not interested reply ‘
Bet most of the place sighed ‘ B*stard ‘ under their breath when he said Kyogo was fine
Mickey who? says Ange! After we HUMP them nxt Sun they’ll start dropping pts with regularity! Another HUMPIN at Paradise April 8th & the League is won b4 the split!! This will leave the Tbl to be won end of Season which will send the Knuckodraggaz intae MELTDOON LOL!!
You have got to remember that they, the Huns, have a unique set of beliefs where religion, politics and loyalty are all rolled into one, as for the last few hundred years!
What you get is a big mash of superiority, hatred and contempt for everything good, decent and even legal!
Beale has bitten the bridle as he’s a despot. He knows he will fail in Glasgow and he’ll soon be on his way. So, he has got nothing to lose! So he comes out with all the Hun crap, just like the rest of them.
You watch the sale of rail-tickets to Stirling and it’s castle soar when Celtic win the League (again)!
I;m betting on an attempt by the Sevco referees supporters club trying to win the next two Celtic cup matches, league and Scottish and I am doubling with a Celt sent off in each game. Not very good odds…..tells its own story.
I’d say there’s more chance of Beal’s mole being here in Glasgow next season than him!
