Well, the reactions tell their own story. Do you think you'd get thousands of Celtic fans inside Celtic Park to welcome the appointment of Postecoglou (if covid restrictions were not an issue) the way Rangers did with Gerrard?

I'm not really comparing the managerial ability, rather the way they were both received by the fans. My impression from Celtic fans is that they are willing to give him time but are quite apprehensive about it all.

I've got to admit I've got no real interest in the fanfare of appointing a manager.

Whats this Liam Shaw like we signed, any good?

I wonder if Ange will bring these crazy glasses out for away trips to far off places like Tynecastle or Pittodrie. Innovation plus

This was the time that the FFA spent an absolute fortune on a chartered flight to ensure victory over the mighty Honduras, after Ange's world beaters had finished third in a group behind Saudi Arabia and Japan and then ground their way to a glorious extra-time victory over Syria.

I would imagine such an obscure flight route would require a chartered flight unless they fancy spending half the time between the games in airports/planes.

Honduras had to do this, and it was credited as one of the reasons why Australia won in the return match. The FFA chucked a fortune at it.

Its a bit of a non-story for me. Whilst it certainly does give an advantage any association with a decent cash flow would have  done the same.

If I didn't know you better I'd say that post was dripping in sarcasm...

So, will this new caaaaant be top or plop?!

 Crowd-wanking thread for this pish

 I'd argue his appointment alone contributed massively to the mentality shift we've seen at Rangers since he joined

Hmm the mentality shift that came through three years later when they only bottled two of the three trophies they were competing for

The difference in our team under Gerrard was almost instant. We qualified for the Europa league after just getting papped out by Luxembourg’s 4th best team the year before and we were use to 5 goal pumpings from Celtic which turned into semi-regularly beating them from his first season onwards, reducing a tens of millions of pounds advantage to nothing over time.

Of course, like you mention, silverware never same til last season but the difference in the team was night and day almost immediately and I think Gerrard (and his coaching staff) 100% improved our mentality over his time here - I’m not sure if that can really be argued against.

Didn't the 'Stones write a tune about this Ozzy darling? 

About time the Eastenders put their hand in their pockets and get them season tickets bought.

Wouldn’t say delighted however not prepared to right him off based on the opinions of people who clearly don’t know anything about him.

Far from being an expert myself I’m much more prepared to listen to opinions of those who have worked with him and from what I’ve seen and heard there is reason for some optimism.

Be some laugh if the big fella smashes this 

It's certainly going well so far, before the league has even kicked off.

Can’t really blame the manager for tonight. He needs time and help from the board. He’s had f**k all of the latter so far.

Some of the usual histrionics regarding the manager happening more so from outside of Celtic.

The guy hasn’t been given much of a hand to play by the board. We finished that game with half a colts team on the park, it’s an embarrassing situation for the board but they are the only people collecting strikes currently

I don't see this Tom Ediocrity in the poll, but I think in the circumstances he'd be worth a shot. He seems to have got the fans onside, at least.

You also can’t blame him for trying his best when he’s shite.

Last two jobs Ange has left, next manager in has been Kevin Muscat
