Ange Postecoglou gives Celtic fans special billing in emotional Australian TV interview

Title-winning manager Ange Postecoglou has paid homage to the Celtic support.

The Greek-Aussie joined in the celebrations at Celtic Park on Saturday as the champions lifted the Scottish Premiership trophy.

Postecoglou is already revered by the Celtic supporters and the love-in continued following the mauling of Motherwell.

The manager paid tribute to the fans on Australian TV and asked if he could sum up the occasion and if he expected this outpouring of emotion, Postecoglou said: "You keep asking me questions I don’t have answers to, mate. It’s very hard to articulate, to put into words.

"It means so much to the people here. They’re not supporters, they’re not fans. They’re attached to this club. This club is their way of life.

"The fixtures come out and they manage their lives around that. How the team performs affects them, affects their mood and how they feel about the week ahead – it’s everything to them.

"So to be able to deliver and just see the joy it brings them is incredible.

"We’ve done a Hell of a lot, we’ve achieved a lot but we’re not finished yet. It’s the nature of this club.

"We’re going to roll up here next season and our supporters expect us to be good and successful again. That’s exactly where I want us to be."
