Ange Postecoglou addresses Celtic exit speculation as boss fires 'with me since day one' quip

Ange Postecoglu says that if speculation that he wasn't fit for Celtic didn't bother him, neither will him going the other way.

The Hoops boss has sparked debate this week online after headlines flared up that he could have the minerals to replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool boss. Brighton were also reportedly interested in taking him to the Premier League as Graham Potter's replacement but Postecoglou isn't bothered by it all.

Last year, some questioned his arrival as Celtic manager from Japan before he eventually claimed Premiership title glory, and the Parkhead manager hasn't forgotten those days. He said: “It’s fair to say that speculation around my future has been with me since day one, you know, for different reasons! For me, I don’t worry about that stuff. It doesn’t really enter my brain space.

“I take on every job I have and every challenge to try and make the football club as successful as it can be and that’s always been my total focus.

"If I start thinking about the speculation that’s there now and me potentially moving on to I don’t know where, then I would be have been worried at the start when people were saying that I wouldn’t last too long.

“I keep saying to the players, just live in the moment. The present is the most important time because the past, you can’t change and the future, you can’t control.”
