Sky Sports have been running with a Breaking News story about Spurs stepping up their interest in Ange Postecoglou following Saturday’s Scottish Cup Final.
The story seems very similar to the one that Dan Fitzpatrick produced in The Standard, the London freesheet found around Train and Underground stations.
In truth there is nothing new to the story other than linking Postecoglou with Scott Munn, the Australian that is about to become the Chief Football Officer at Spurs.
At the weekend Postecoglou made it very clear in a number of media interviews that his entire focus is on winning the Scottish Cup for Celtic to complete a clean sweep of domestic honours.
The Celtic boss is due to meet the media on Thursday or Friday to preview the Scottish Cup Final, his answers will be as predictable as the excited media speculation hoping that he is about to join Spurs to leave Celtic manager-less going into the close season.

Where will Ange Postecoglou start next season?
Celtic, he is all on board, relax
Spurs, just too good to turn down
Somewhere else, it is inevitable
Tottenham are set to step up their interest in Celtic head coach Ange Postecoglou after Saturday’s Scottish Cup Final.
Postecoglou is a contender to permanently succeed Antonio Conte and is said to have impressed Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who is leading the club’s search for a new head coach and director of football.
Among Postecoglou’s admirers at Spurs is the club’s incoming chief football officer Scott Munn, a fellow Australian who knows Postecoglou personally and is set to officially become Levy’s de facto No2 from July.
Any serious discussions with Postecoglou – who is on a 12-month rolling contract at Parkhead – will have to wait until after Celtic face Inverness in this weekend’s showpiece at Hampden Park, with the Bhoys aiming to seal an eighth domestic treble.
Keridian Itsan (phonetic spelling) BBC Radio Scotland Sports News, further reported this story as leading article on 5 o’clock news. I mean it is easier than coming up with an original story or article, isn’t it? You still get paid regardless.
With all the stuff he’s said about being manager of Celtic you would think he will be staying. If that isn’t the case then I hope Celtic stipulate to the next manager that he can’t walk round the field of wherever they are playing and punch his chest and lap up all the attention.
