Ange Postecoglou in three-word Celtic promise as he delivers fans message ahead of Rangers trip

Ange Postecoglou insists he won’t stop in his relentless pursuit of Celtic glory with an exciting brand of football to make the fans proud.

The Australian is gearing up for a huge showdown against Rangers at Ibrox on Sunday where a victory would move the Hoops six points clear of their rivals at the Scottish Premiership summit.

Postecoglou penned an open letter to the Hoops legions ahead of the trip across the city as part of the club’s season ticket renewal campaign.

The 56-year-old has transformed the club following a catastrophic campaign last season which saw Celtic finish the season empty handed.

Postecoglou has united everyone in the east end of Glasgow and wants it to stay that way as they chase a Treble.

He said: “My philosophy on the pitch is that we never stop. We aim to be relentless in our spirit and in our commitment.

“Playing attacking, entertaining football won’t always be easy but it will always be worth it. And for me, it will always be worth giving you a team you can be proud of.

“As I say to the players, for 90 minutes it is our responsibility to make you feel good and give you moments to remember. It will always be our way.

“The passion and spirit you show us from the stands is a real strength of this club and it fuels us forward to uphold the values and standards of this football club, not just in terms of winning but the way we play our football.

“We’ve done it together from day one and our shared passion for bringing success to our great club is something that I hope will ensure your commitment for the campaign ahead.

“Thank you for being with us, thank you for everything. Representing Celtic Football Club gives us the opportunity to do remarkable things and to be part of something unique.

“I love being part of something so special. It was a privilege to be asked to be Celtic manager and it has been an honour to develop and lead this current team.

“Of course, winning is a huge part of the club’s identity, but for me it’s not just about winning, it’s about how we win and about the kind of team we aspire to be. It’s about having a strong faith in our ability and a belief in our own style of football.

“We have a way of playing the game which is challenging but offers great rewards and while we have a huge responsibility to deliver results, we want to be a team that excites you, puts a smile on your face and gets you out of your seat.

“I want my players to enjoy it and I want our fans to enjoy it - together. And by uniting behind this shared vision of what we want to be, we can deliver the success we aim for.”
