The majority of Celtic’s first team stars are on holiday this week as the club look for a new manager.
The news of Ange Postecoglou leaving for Tottenham Hotspur is still pretty fresh but the Hoops hierarchy have already began searching for his replacement.
The players have no part to play in that hunt and are instead enjoying some time away from Lennoxtown.
The likes of Joe Hart, Stephen Welsh, Greg Taylor and Carl Starfelt have already shared Instagram story posts from their holidays.
Hart’s post showed him enjoying the sun on a boat, with Celtic never far from his mind as he opted for some green emojis.
“Morning all” was the caption with several four leaf clovers and hearts. He doesn’t seem to be taking news of Postecoglou’s departure too badly.
Matt O’Riley, meanwhile, hasn’t managed to escape football. He’s been training with the full Denmark squad ahead of their games against Northern Ireland and Slovenia.
He hasn’t, however, been included in the actual squad for the matches, so will get some well-earned time off soon.
The image shared by Denmark on Instagram was more than a little ironic.
It shows O’Riley standing next to Pierre-Emile Højbjerg of Tottenham Hotspur — soon to play under Ange Postecoglou. Too early for all that we think.
Anyway, there is a full international programme coming up in around a week. Many of our key players will be back involved there.
The non-international stars can holiday a little longer.
