With just the final details of the severance payment and the timing of the announcement to be settled the Daily Record are already hoping that Ange Postecoglou will be Antonio Conte’s successor at Spurs.
Using the exact same template that has linked the Celtic boss with Everton and Leeds in recent times they went through the usual points to provide their elderly readers with hope that Celtic could be plunged into chaos.
Around his appointment in June 2021 the Record treated the former Socceroos boss as a joke figure, up against the juggernaut that was Mister Gerrard at Ibrox.
Last month at Hampden Postecoglou comprehensively outsmarted Micky Beale to win the Viaplay Cup to give Celtic a realistic chance of lifting the domestic treble.
That prospect is one that fills the Circulation Team at the Record with terror as they try to plot a route through to the end of the year with sales above 50,000 per day.
Postecoglou won’t be facing any media conferences for 10 days which allows him to sit back and have a chuckle at the despair his continued employment is causing at the Glasgow based publisher.

Usual from Rangers unofficial PR team and Mark Pirie but to be fair on him, anybody at sports desk would have written it.

What happened to Mark Warburton. the next England manager, according to you? Or the superstar Slippy G ? He was on another level when there were no fans, and all the games were like training games? Why would you like Ange to go there when you said he’d be gone by Xmas up here? ?
