Ange Postecoglou in hilarious Celtic death stare after rare dressing room footage captures Josip Juranovic's cheeky request

Footage has been released of Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou hilariously toying with one of his players in a newfound video - with the Aussie boss shutting down defender Josip Juranovic.

The Australian had just led his side to a draw at Dundee United towards the end of last season, enough to mathematically secure the title from bitter rivals Rangers with one game to spare. That was to come against Motherwell just three days later; where Celtic ran out rampant 6-0 winners in front of a jubilant home crowd.

Of course, that day saw Parkhead in full party mode, with fans in awe at Postecoglou's "We Never Stop" speech, a hatful of goals from their finest players and Giorgos Giakoumakis being the league's top scorer to boot. However, the players were not allowed a day of rest before that; evidenced by Juranovic asking his boss for a day off following a rousing speech in the Tannadice dressing room - which was met with cold stares from his manager.

Postecoglou said in the club's 'We Never Stop' DVD feature: "Enjoy it, the next couple of days. As I said, I'm not giving you tomorrow off because obviously you'll have plenty of time away from me after the weekend.

"We'll enjoy the next few days, including Saturday. I want to make sure you guys really appreciate what you've achieved.

"Don't look at me, I'm a miserable old sod and just walk away - but you boys enjoy it. I'm proud of all of you."

Postecoglou's rousing speech was met with praise, applause and whoops from his team; apart from one cheeky comment from Juranovic. "Off tomorrow?", the Croatian full-back can be heard saying, making the Aussie boss turn around.

Staring at the defender, Postecoglou failed to break his gaze and causing raptures of laughter from the rest of his squad as a result. Juranovic continued his restful approach by continuing to ask for a rest period before being halted by Cameron Carter-Vickers.
