The job that Ange Postecoglou has done at Celtic has been nothing but remarkable.
From building not just a team, but helping a club to rise from the ashes, to do that and go on to win a title and a cup in his first season is simply outstanding.
Don’t listen to the naysayers.
You know the ones. Those that keep crying about how much money he has spent this season.
They are in no place to lecture anyone about spending money considering the losses they accumulated for just one trophy.
What Ange has done is sensational.
But is it at as good as what Tom English suggested on BBC Sportsound yesterday?
After the final whistle, English was analysing the result when he made this claim, “We couldn’t see success coming this quickly. Not many people could.
“But it’s here. Postecoglou has done it and of all that the ten titles they have won, I think only the Invincibles season of 2016 is better than that.
“And you can make a case, you can make a case that this is even better than that because of the amount of rebuild that Postecoglou had to do.
“Brandon Rogers added quality. He added the Sinclair, he added Dembele but the rest of it was largely the same.
“I take my hat off him, the players and the club because they have done some job here.”
It’s really hard to disagree with that assertion to be honest. The Invincibles season was incredible.
Ange has went 30 games unbeaten in the league with a brand new team of players who have never played together before.
Is Ange’s achievement better than the Invincibles? You tell us.
Who's league win is better?
