The rumour mill is rife that Tottenham could be making an approach - but Ange Postecoglou will ask himself one Celtic exit question if his Yokohama F. Marinos stint is to be repeated.
After arriving in Glasgow as a relative unknown on this side of the world, the 57-year-old is a Scottish Cup final with Inverness away from completing a clean sweep of domestic honours at Parkhead this term, with his maiden term bringing a double. It has attracted plenty of attention from elsewhere during this term and the latest have turned talk of Tottenham up a notch.

"Could I adapt to a culture, new language, those kind of things. The difficulty and level of the competition, could my ideas work here and it has been hugely satisfying to see it work on a personal basis but more for the club as the club is the one enjoying success.
"Whatever the next move is, it will be to a similar scenario. Is there an opportunity for me to make a mark?"
