This is why the Celtic fans love Ange Postecoglou.
He is focused on one team, and one team only. Celtic.
The rest? Just distractions.
And that is exactly how he described the latest circus surrounding Ibrox today as Steven Gerrard prepares to take the Aston Villa job.
As reported by Birmingham Live, Postecoglou said with calmness and professionalism, “They’re the kind of distractions I avoid, to be honest.
“That’s what I’m talking about – I’ve been really laser-focused on here and I’ll continue to be.
“I’ve tried to get everyone here to do that as well – and it hasn’t been too difficult.
“It’s like when we watch TV these days, people binge a series in one night because we don’t want to sit another week and wait for an episode, which is what I used to do in the old days, as you’d know.
“I feel like people want to binge this season as well – one result and it’s over, a good result and it’s done.
“I’m just making everyone really aware, we can’t get distracted by anything, by anyone else.
“We’re trying to build something here, and when you’re trying to build something and be successful you can’t afford to be looking over your fence to what other people are doing.
“We’ve got to build our house, make sure it’s nice and beautiful then see how it stacks up to the rest of the neighbourhood.”
I’ll leave the last word to Fabrizio Romano, who is never wrong about such matters:
