It was always inevitable that Ange Postecoglou would get linked with a job in England.
From what he has already achieved at our club in such a short space of time, he was always bound to get noticed.
A league and cup double in his maiden season whilst undertaking one of the biggest squad rebuilds in our recent history was nothing short of remarkable.
That, coupled with qualification for the Europa League by knocking out AZ Alkmaar was just something special.
And now that the gaffer is strutting his stuff in the Champions League and going toe to toe with Real Madrid whilst playing sexy football, whenever a top job comes up you can bet your last pound that Postecoglou WILL be linked with it.
But Brighton? Seriously? [Daily Record]
No disrespect but Ange is better than that club.
A club who’s stadium is almost half of that as Celtic’s plus having the prospect of fighting relegation every season? No thanks.
And that’s the answer I would expect the Celtic boss to give.
As does Chris Sutton:
Ange Postecoglou will be linked with managerial jobs in the Premier League and I’m sure will eventually go down south but he’s only just got started at Celtic and he’s building something special. He certainly wouldn’t downgrade to a club Brighton’s size just yet… why would he?

Ange will one day get his big move. One day a club in one of the biggest leagues in Europe will praise him away from us.
Unfortunately for Brighton, it won’t be them Ange chooses.
