Ange in hilarious Celtic title party kibosh as he wonders 'have you got a trophy with you?'

Ange Postecoglou is not taking anything for granted in the Premiership title race as he insist Celtic have NOT got the right to call themselves 2022/23 champions just yet.

The Hoops took a major step towards making themselves the kings of the Scottish top flight again by winning 3-2 against Rangers at Parkhead. Kyogo's double coupled with Jota pouncing on an error by John Souttar sealed three crucial points and puts Celtic 12 points clear at the top of the league with seven games to go. With a significant goal difference too, it could be as little as three games before the title coming back to Glasgow's east end is confirmed.

In the meantime, Postecoglou is not having any premature chat of glory, with a look towards the Scottish Cup semi-final against their rivals later this month also cast by the Aussie. When asked on Sportsound if he thought the title race was done, he quipped: "Have you got a trophy with you? No? No, so that would probably suggest it is not done.

"Look, I get it and we are in a great position but I keep saying it, why waste a game of football. There is seven or eight to go in the league and we have a cup semi-final.

"It's an opportunity to produce some magic and I am not going to let anyone dismiss any of these games. We recover, I said to the players after that if you can make one person's life better, you don't understand how important that is. But they have made thousands of lives better for the next few days at least and they need to enjoy and appreciate that. That is something special."
