Emotional Ange Postecoglou fights back Celtic tears as he reacts to title win

Ange Postecoglou was visibly emotional as he reacted to Celtic retaining the Scottish Premiership title.

The Hoops sealed the title with a 2-0 victory over Hearts at Tynecastle today with goals coming from Kyogo Furuhashi and Oh.

Postecoglou spoke to the Sky Sports cameras after the full-time whistle and was quick to thank those most important to him.

He said: "Plenty people in my circle make sacrifices, my family, my kids, I've got the easy bit, I'm doing what I love but they are the ones which are a constant support.

"Not just my family, my friends, here and in Australia. The whole football club really embraced me from day one. For that, I take pride that I am able to give something back.

"It's not easy, you've got to put everything into this – it's a great responsibility. Any manager knows the responsibility you bear but especially at this football club. It takes a hell of a lot to get where we are, so massive effort from everyone, yeah you get emotional, as you understand what has gone into it."

He added: "I did have a moment, at the end of that first game against Hearts, it felt like we had a mountain to climb, literally. I had belief I could do something here in terms of building a team."
