Brilliant. This man is EXACTLY what Celtic needs. He’s brutally honest, but not in a disrespectful or arrogant way. He’s just being real. He’s not here to coddle players, it’s not his job to worry about their egos and feelings. They’re grown adults and professionals. If they can’t get motivated to play for Celtic then piss off. Ange is here to bring an exciting brand of football that all Celtic supporters will appreciate, and most importantly one that will win us trophies. But it’s going to take time, and support from the board to bring in the players he needs to accomplish that. All the micro analyzing, and impatient Celtic supporters who are so caught up about this season need a reality check. Look, I don’t want Rangers to win another title either. But let’s not fool ourselves and pretend that they aren’t the better team right now. If we don’t win the title again this year, so be it. So long as we’re progressing towards something great. You can’t rebuild to the extent we are right now and expect it to happen over night. Ange needs our backing....the entire season, regardless of individual match results. There’s going to be ups and downs this season, just accept that.

He seems like a good bloke, but he’s inherited a nightmare.

[conor]

Speaks very well, believes in what he says. The board need to back him fully and get players in ASAP!

[andyhdxgaming]

Took the last question and answered honestly with the best attitude and saying how it is can’t wait to see what success he brings. Hail hail 🟢⚪️🟢⚪️

Total respect for Ange with this interview. Honest assessment.

[Dic-yyrj]

Big Ange! Well spoken, takes no shite "if players dont want to be here, they can leave" thats what we need to hear. We have the right man, hes just not backed by the Board!

[johnaiken]

I like Ange more every time I listen to him

[richardfinlayson]

It's great to read the positive comments, even Rangers fans, ... interesting.

[davidcowan]

He has a Massive task infront of him...
Hope he gets it right 🤞🤞🙏🙏..
Like the fact he doesn't shy away from saying How it is

[richardfinlayson]

He's pretty straightforward, tells it like it is. He's a great manager, you will see results, but it might take a little bit of time.

Tbh the Scottish leagues becoming a joke no ambition from 90% of the league hoping the conference league will be extra cash and incentive for smaller teams and get more money in the league. And the new celtic manager has to rebuild a full defence the board need to back him or I get the feeling he will walk seems like a decent guy hope celtic and us reach the champions league where both old firm teams belong good luck on Wednesday ange.

[chuckmac]

I Respect Ange. He's inherited a poor situation but don't see quitter on his CV.

[MassiveHappyClapper]

It was great to watch Celtic get slayed by West Ham. Barkas is a clown of a keeper, great entertainment. Postecoglou is the Celtics Caixinha. Celtics new banter years have only just begun. Not interested in people being happy 🤣 just as well because there is no one going to be happy at Celtic this season.

[davidstalker]

Class i aint here to keep players aren't happy

[davidmcguire]

Nothing but honestly out of him fair play

[martinking]

Being at the game as a west ham fan I don't get the booing of Griffiths when a short goes on, get behind the players not against them . Fantastic club superb supporters made me very welcome wish the Celtic well this season

[robscotland]

Got to support yer mhan. Lets see. Board...its your call

[happy-kdju]

he knows the ship is sinking he will walk after the season is over shame he is a good coach

[philipmccabe]

Celtic need to bring in many players, you could literally make a case for 8 to 10 players still. It is hard to believe when dealing with those numbers that they are all difficult to get over the line, something is not right behind the scenes. The fans think we need 10, what the board thinks could be a lot less and if so then big Ange is gonna have a rough season.

[WeeSmokey]

Respect for the sheer honesty showed, he's straight laced and speaks his mind.
