Ange Postecoglou still cherishes his time with Celtic and watches their games from afar.
Things haven't gone swimmingly for the Aussie since his move to Tottenham and he may well be facing the sack, so it would be easy to forgive him for pining after his trophy-laden Hoops days.
And those moments still have a special place in his heart.
So says former Hibs boss Nick Montgomery, now working as part of Postecoglou's backroom staff at Spurs.
He says the coaching team are always watching games in the background and the 59-year--old has been delighted to see Brendan Rodgers carry on his success.
“Ange loved his time at Celtic,” Montgomery claimed. “I think he cherishes those times at Celtic, it's a massive club.

“It’s used to winning and when you go in there the pressure is on that you continue that trend and you have to win.
“Probably, people doubted him but Ange managed to do that. He's always watching the Celtic games and the A-League games and the Japanese games.
“We always have them on in the coach's office. He obviously really enjoyed his time there and no doubt he's really happy for the success again this year.”
Postecoglou is under fire despite winning the Europa League after finishing a lowly 17th in the Premier League at the same time.
Montgomery insists that European success wouldn't have been possible without the manager and has backed him up.
"He's obviously been massive in this cup win,” the former Easter Road man said. “Look, he's a great guy and I think he's a man that's full of self-belief.
“He's been around the world and won trophies. To work alongside him and get the opportunity to come to a club like Tottenham in the Premier League and Europa League, he always had the self-belief that we could do something special this season.
