Ange Postecoglou has delivered a brutal message to players who may feel restless or even desire to leave the club he has stated, as reported by the Daily Record “They are at Celtic Football club, if that is not happiness for them, I don’t know what is, they can find it somewhere else.
“It is not my job to keep them happy, my job is to make sure that we get the best out of them and give them every opportunity and they will all get opportunities.
“They know that.”
This is another example of the no-nonsense approach Ange has taken to the media over his time at Celtic.
It also goes to show a ruthless style that all top managers and all top clubs must have, for that matter, to succeed at the very top level of football.
Making it clear that no matter who you are, if you wish to remain at Celtic you must fully be committed to both the club and the objectives of the manager.
The only uncertainty surrounding the manager’s statement is who his comments could be referring to.
Although from a fans’ perspective it seems mind-blowing that any player would be unhappy in our current squad.
There are a few players who could be marked as chief suspects, people like James McCarthy who look set to leave the club or people on the fringes of the squad like Albian Ajeti or Mikey Johnston.
Away from speculation about who the comments could be referring to, the biggest takeaway is that we have a manager who is clearly ready to put the club above all else.
