Video: Ange Postecoglou’s Infamous Celtic Throwback at Stamford Bridge
Ange Postecoglou’s tenure at Celtic not only won him five trophies but also the hearts of the hoops supporters. His unique approach to the Game and the connection he fostered with supporters set him apart from many of his contemporaries. As he continues his journey in English Football with Tottenham Hotspur, his fiery touchline demeanour and demand for progressive play remain undiminished.
Postecoglou’s brief yet impactful spell at Celtic Park was marked by a series of impressive achievements, with the Australian steering the club to a double in his first season and treble in his second. It was a memorable time to be a Celtic fan.
Beyond the silverware, it was Postecoglou’s candid and engaging manner during interviews and press conferences that breathed fresh air into the often-monotonous world of Scottish Football. His forthright communication and clear vision for the team’s playing style left a lasting impression.
The style of Football that Postecoglou implemented at Celtic was both aggressive and entertaining, characteristics that endeared him further to the Celtic faithful. His philosophy centered on maintaining possession, pressing high, and, most notably, always pushing forward, which brought exciting Football to Parkhead.
Now at Tottenham Hotspur, Postecoglou seems to have transported the same intense energy and Football philosophy to the touchlines of the Premier League. However, when he doesn’t like what he’s seeing, he’ll let his players know!
His recent outburst during a match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge — where he was captured urging his players to “stop passing backwards” — mirrored a similar incident from his days at Celtic. During a cup tie against Raith Rovers, he famously reprimanded Stephen Welsh for a needless back pass. It’s a clip that continues to get used online by Celtic fans, especially when the team this season has being pedestrian.
Despite his team’s 2-0 loss to Chelsea, which complicates their chase for a top-four finish, Postecoglou’s commitment to his style and his expectations from his players remain unwavering. His adaptation to the Premier League continues to be under scrutiny, yet his proven track record suggests that it may only be a matter of time before Tottenham benefits from what he’s trying to build.
And if Spurs fans don’t want him, we’ll have him back! Cheers.
