ANGE has endeared himself to the Celtic support in a big way; the manager has taken a no-nonsense approach with the media. The Australian isn’t rude or antagonistic but he has a way of taking the air out of the tyres of some in the media.
Celtic fans and the press don’t have the best relationship at times – so when they see a man not willing to play the game with them, they immediately score points.

Ange is a very likeable guy, there’s not a lot of complexity about his character – he seems to be a straight shooter and someone who doesn’t want to deal in tired cliches.
While the Celtic fans loved the response about the league title already being over after their win against Motherwell. Ange will now face a backlash the next time his team fail to pick up a result. There are many in the media who will be waiting to hammer Ange and in their mind, bring him down a peg or two.
Fans have to be clever here and not fall for any tripe digs at the manager as we go forward. There will be days when he doesn’t get things right and results that don’t go our way. But this is a process, and if we continue to back the manager – I’m positive he can do the business.
