Ange Postecoglou Couldn't Resist Cheeky Gag About Rangers Reunion
Ange Postecoglou quickly became a fan favourite during his time at Celtic, helping the club to five trophies during his two seasons at the club. As might have been expected, he also became quite the villain to Rangers supporters during this period.
The Australian always seemed to enjoy getting one over on Celtic's Glasgow rivals, something he will be looking to do once again with his new club.
Speaking after the draw was confirmed, Postecoglou couldn't help produce a cheeky gag when he was asked about his upcoming return to Rangers.
🗣️ "I'm sure I'll get a warm reception at Ibrox, they'll be looking forward to seeing me!"

It's exciting. It's good to be part of it, there are some good games.
I'm sure I'll get a warm reception at Ibrox. They'll be looking forward to seeing me there.
Celtic would win the league title at the expense of Rangers during both of the seasons that Ange Postecoglou was in charge of the side, while they would also beat their Old Firm rivals in a Scottish League Cup final in 2023.
He may no longer be in charge of Celtic, but you can expect the 59-year old to get a very frosty reception when he makes his way to Ibrox later this year.
Spurs are likely to be among the favourites to win this season's Europa League, with the club set to also face the likes of Roma, AZ Alkmaar, Galatasaray, and Hoffenheim in the competition.
