Celtic have confirmed Ange Postecoglou this morning as the new manager of the football club.

The news came through the London Stock Exchange just before the club announced the news on social media.

Ange has spoke to the club website this morning and says things are already underway for next season.

The opportunity that has been given to me is one of the greatest honours in football and the responsibility to lead our magnificent football club into the future is one that I will cherish dearly.

“Celtic is one of THE names in world football, of that there is no doubt – a giant of a club, a proper footballing institution and so much more – real history, real substance, real authenticity and real soul. I know Celtic is a true way of life for so many people and I know the demands which come with this position – I am ready to do all I can to meet those demands.

“I will be doing everything I can to get our great Club back on top and, at the same time, deliver the kind of football which our fans appreciate. We want to entertain our fans and we want to win, these are the objectives which I always set myself and which I now begin work on.

“When you think of Celtic, you think of supporters and my dream is to see our fans back at Celtic Park with us as soon as possible. We all hope things are changing for the better and can see our fans soon as they are vital to everything I want to do. We need our supporters back by our side and I can’t wait to be with them back in a packed Paradise.

“I have already had great discussions with Peter, Dom and the Board about their ideas and strategy for the future of the club. I know the Club’s new modern vision aligns very much with mine and we now look to go and deliver on this. In everything we do we aim to give our fans a successful team of real quality, which they are excited about and can be proud of.

“We have already begun work on our plans for adding to the squad – we aim to bring players of quality to Celtic to enhance the existing core of great talent.

“I very much look forward to meeting with the players on their return from the close season break and I can’t wait to get started as Celtic Manager.”

It brings an end to Celtic’s pursuit of a first team manager. Something that’s been going on since February when Neil Lennon left his post.

Celtic have a lot to do and it’s great to hear Ange has already been at work.

A major rebuild is needed and the manager has the supports full backing to try and get this club back to where it needs to be.

The manager will join the team at Lennoxtown before they head off to Wales for their preseason camp. It’s all go from here, let’s get right behind Ange and his appointment.

  1. Good news, you’ve arrived, now down to business. Get Yogi on board, get Shaun on board, and get Damian Duff too, then we have a good set of coaches and then get players out, and importantly get players IN.

  2. With the resources at Celtic and with any decent management structure we’ll shred the Scottish game. We now have that with Ange Postecoglou and his incoming team. Back to a more familiar look next season with Celtic out in front for most if not all of it. 52/ 1 – incoming. Mind The Gap.

  3. Red Scotland, look back at your comments.
    Ange was a terrible choice made from a colossal lack of planning and mismanagement by the board..
    Even look at the point you made about “Ange and his team”!
    There is no “team”!
    What manager worth his salt would come into any club and allow h8mself to be forced to inherit the coaching staff who failed miserably the previous season?
    John Kennedy and Strachan in particular stabbed Lennon in the back.
    Neither should ever be allowed near paradise again, yet he has them as his backroom staff! Is it any wonder we are struggling to get off the ground?
