Ange Postecoglou was feeling the love of Celtic supporters today at Paradise, complimenting fans for creating an atmosphere to thrive in against Ross County.
The Bhoys ran out 4-0 winners in the Scottish Premiership clash, moving six points clear at the top of the table, with rivals Rangers to play Dundee tomorrow.
There was a relaxed, jovial atmosphere at the stadium all day long – in part because of the weather, the performance and the joy of watching Ange’s Celtic.
Asked by 67 Hail Hail’s Hamish Carton after the game for his thoughts on that side of the afternoon, Postecoglou told us: “You guys are crazy, mate, 15 degrees and your shirts are off.
“Yeah, it was great. I spoke about that before the game. I had a feeling our supporters would be up for it today. It was important not just to win but to put on a performance.
“I really felt that was, for a number of reasons, going to be important today for the whole club. Credit to the players for embracing that challenge.
“It was a difficult game in terms of approaching it because you know you’re facing an opponent in good form and can cause you problems. The last thing I wanted was for us to shy away from the challenge. We set out our stall today to put in a good performance.”
This has long been the case under Ange, but it really feels like everyone is moving forward with unity right now – from the players to the staff to the fans. It’s brilliant to see.
When the feeling is this good around Celtic, we are a hard club to stop. We are in pole position for the title and you know the team are going to be back to the hilt until the last kick of the ball.
That must be filling the players with huge confidence ahead of the next couple of months.
