Ange Postecoglou shuts down Celtic vs Hibs ticket allocation poser as he insists 'that's not my brief'

Ange Postecoglou appeared to be at his wits end at his Celtic press conference as he laughed off a question about Hibs' Premier Sports Cup ticket allocation.

The Australian was speaking at his press conference to preview the Hoops' Europa League clash with Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday.

However it didn't take long for the subject to change to the cup final, where Celtic will face Hibs after Jack Ross' team beat Rangers at Hampden.

The Easter Road club were furious to have been given just 17,500 tickets - just over a third of Hampden's capacity - feeling they should have been given a 50/50 split.

Those of a Celtic persuasion have been quick to point out Hibs sold less than 10,000 tickets for their clash with Rangers.

But either way, Postecoglou wasn't going to be drawn on it as he gave one reporter a "freebie" to ask him something else.

The boss couldn't contain a laugh as he responded: "Nah, you are not going to ask me about ticket allocations.

"We are playing Leverkusen in a big game tomorrow night. Don't waste the opportunity.

"I have no desire or any incline to get involved in ticket allocations, that is not my brief.

"I will let you pass on that one. I will give you a freebie, give me another question."
