Celtic hero makes prediction about Ange Postecoglou's future after Spurs sacking

The Australian was sacked by the North London club on Friday afternoon, despite leading them to Europa League glory just over a fortnight prior.

Recently speaking to Sky Sports, Grant outlined his stance on Postecoglou, making a key prediction about his future. 

"I think it is [harsh]," he said. 

"I get really excited watching Tottenham because I don't know what I'm going to get. 

"I think he's been terrific. I'm delighted for him that he got the European trophy, for one reason, because, for Scottish football, people might say, 'He was only managing Celtic up in Scotland'. 

"He's proven what a top-quality manager he is, there is absolutely no doubt of that. 

"I'm sure he'll get a top-quality job yet again.

"I'm delighted for him, and I'm sure he'll go on to bigger and better things."

Spurs captain Son Heung-Min made his feelings on Postecoglou's sacking clear:  "You've changed the trajectory of this club," he said on Instagram. 

"You believed in yourself, and us, since day one and never wavered for a second. Even when others did.

"You knew what we were capable of all along. You did it your way. And your way brought this club the best night it's had in decades. We will have those memories for life.

"You trusted me with the captaincy. One of the highest honours of my career. It's been an incredible privilege to learn from your leadership up close, I am a better player and a better person because of you.

"Ange Postecoglou, you are a Tottenham Hotspur legend forever. Thank you, mate."
