Ange Postecoglou to Celtic as Rangers legend Ally McCoist aims dig at Hoops

Rangers legend Ally McCoist couldn't resist a wee dig sparring partner Alan Brazil following Ange Postecoglou's appointment as Celtic manager.

The 55-year-old Australian was confirmed as Neil Lennon's permanent successor on Thursday on a 12-month rolling contract.

Brazil had previously shared his astonishment at the left-field appointment last week and McCoist couldn't resist another chance to mock his mate on live radio.

But Ibrox diehard McCoist stopped short of giving former Yokohama boss Postecoglou a big welcome to Celtic as he created his own message of support during a cheeky exchange on talkSPORT, reports the Daily Record.

Brazil: "Ally, what do you make of that?"

McCoist: "Well..."

Brazil: "Tell the truth"

McCoist: "No, no, no - I've got to be honest with you, I'm just pleased you finally got it sorted out."

Brazil: "You're a liar"

McCoist: "It was, the whole Eddie Howe thing, I was beginning to feel, I had a bit of sympathy for you, to be quite frank with you, I could see the pain etched on your face every Thursday and Friday morning.

"I mean let's not kid ourselves, that man has a job on his hands, I think first thing he'll have to do is agree terms with Leicester for Edouard's exit.

"And there might be one or two others going with Edouard, he's got a big job on his hands and I wish him nothing but...NOTHING!"

Brazil: "We're not talking about him anymore, that's it."
