An artist has paid tribute to Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou with a mural in his homeland - ahead of his return later this month.
The Celtic boss, who was born in Greece but moved to Australia at the age of five, will head Down Under for the inaugural Sydney Super Cup later this month. The friendly competition sees the Scottish Champions taking on English Premier League side Everton.
And ahead of the showpiece fixture, Australian artist Shaun Dev painted a mural of the 57-year-old on a wall in South Melbourne.
Postecoglou, who was a defender, played for South Melbourne as both a youth and an adult, representing the club between 1978 and 1993, while also winning caps for Australia. Celtic fans were blown away by the artwork after Shaun shared a picture and a video of the mural on his Twitter page - @ART_BY_DEV.
The artist - who is also on Instagram at @artbyshaun_dev - Tweeted: "Painted Big Ange in South Melbourne in time for his homecoming in a couple of weeks."
The picture of the painting was liked over 5,000 times on the social media site, and drew praise from a number of Celtic fans.
Bhoyvince said: "Great work. We’ll done!".
Ross Mcgregor posted: "Wow. Amazing work", with a love heart eyes, clapping hands and shamrock emojis, and Jao, who also posted clapping hands and a shamrock emoji, said: "Brilliant art piece."
The Sydney Super Cup clash between Celtic and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard's Everton side takes place at Sydney's Accor Stadium on Sunday, November 20.
It will see Ange Postecoglou returning to the venue of one of his most famous coaching wins, when Australia won the AFC Asian Cup in 2015. The tournament also sees Everton FC taking on Western Sydney Wanderers on November 23 at CommBank Stadium and Celtic playing Sydney FC at the newly opened Allianz Stadium on November 17.
The organisers hope the Sydney Super Cup will become a regular addition to Australia and take place every two years, involving teams from Europe.
