Ange Postecoglou 'here's to 100 more' banner as Celtic boss' landmark hailed with Christmas quip

Celtic fans have shown their appreciation for boss Ange Postecoglou by unveiling a banner on his 100th game in charge.

And the Green Brigade section of Celtic Park have not minced their words as the Hoops boss himself admitted this week some may have felt him reaching the milestone was 'long odds' when he was first appointed as manager. On the park it was Daizen Maeda's first half goal that got Celtic back in to the game after Hearts opened the scoring early on.

20-goal star Kyogo Furuhashi was on target once again to turn the tide for Postecoglou's men before Sead Haksabanovic put the icing on the cake to keep their nine point advantage over rivals Rangers.

And upon the final whistle Postecoglou was greeted by a banner that read: "Gone by Christmas? Here's to 100 more." The Aussie boss said after his landmark game he's delighted with how his men earned their win.

He told BBC Sportsound: "It was well earned, we had to work hard for the points tonight as we weren't at our fluent best.

"We didn't hit our rhythm from the start and I take responsibility for that as I made changes which always disrupts things.

"We looked disjointed the start and hard to earn it, but the boys showed have again shown a really strong mentality and scored three excellent goals to get the job done."
