Maher has made quite the claim about Postecoglou. It appears that the club are fighting a losing battle to keep him, however. They don’t have a proper manager and haven’t won a game in any competition since November, with Jesse Marsch recently getting the boot. Forest might have to worry about a contingency plan though. They look certain to retain their Scottish Premiership title and are still fighting it out to win the two cup competitions in Scotland. The Aussie head coach has been a revelation at Celtic.

Andy Maher dropped the bombshell after claiming a trusted source informed him this will be Postecoglou's last season in Glasgow.

He added: “They’re going pretty well Nottingham Forest, Steve Cooper took over and got them out of the Championship into the Premier League, has done a good job. And that he will be, it depends on survival in the Premier League, he will be taking one of two positions. This snout is telling me, watch this space, at the end of the season it’s going to happen.”

Are you tired of all the chatter about Ange Postecoglou leaving Celtic for Leeds United? Well, there's good news this afternoon.

Until the next job pops up and everyone loses their head again! We will see the signs coming, it will be done in an open and honest way. Well, there’s good news this afternoon with [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64716610) reporting they are set to announce their new manager. For your more anxious supporter, it was also a worry. Thankfully the Leeds saga is about to be put to bed and we can all get a bit of peace about this subject. Other outlets, such as

Ange Postecoglou refused to entertain questions about a potential Celtic treble today, putting full focus on the difficult task at hand against Rangers.

That relentless, machine-like consistency is what has brought the Bhoys this far under Postecoglou. It’s an open goal for a media storm. To me, that’s to start talking about stuff that is totally out of our control right now.

All we can do is prepare well, and be ready for a big game on Sunday and try to win a trophy. It will be a fantastic atmosphere and we expect the tempo and intensity to be pretty high when the game starts. It's one of three on offer domestically so we'll try and make sure we're ready for the day, perform well and hopefully get the job done.

Ange Postecoglou admits the 50/50 split at Hampden will make Sunday's showdown with Rangers a better derby than previous clashes.

I enjoy the hard graft when you're building a team, you're in the trenches and it's coming at you from all angles. "When I talk to them about trying to make every game the best game of their career, there is nothing that says that can't happen. As I said, from when I started 26 years ago, I wanted to be a successful manager and you won't last very long in the game if you're not successful. You don't just miss the big games or the big moments, you miss it all. "You miss training, you miss the bad days, the bad coaches, you'd have it all back. But winning things are very rare even for the most successful coaches even if you win something every year. He was then asked if he sees the game as a big opportunity to add another trophy to his burgeoning collection having already won the league and this trophy last season. But he said: "I treat every game as an opportunity, I say that to the players. I think the players enjoy that because you get a bit of everything in there." [Celtic](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/celtic-fc) fans - not just the cup finals. "For the home team I think that's an advantage. Obviously when we play at Ibrox or Celtic Park, the atmosphere is very parochial in one way.

HE main concern for Ange Postecoglou this week won't be around putting Rangers back in their place, but on delivering the latest piece of…

But while Postecoglou may gripe about it in his post-match interview, he won’t allow it to be used as an excuse for a poor performance. Which then leaves a question mark over who supports central striker Kyogo from the other wing. He will have to be at his best once more to contend with the Rangers threat down their left-hand side, but he has shown signs of being more than up to the task. While Forrest still has plenty about him and commands respect for what he has achieved at Celtic, it was a surprise to see him start the game, and no surprise to see him removed on the hour with Rangers having grasped the initiative in the match. [Celtic](/sport/celtic/) trophy cabinet. There is no doubting however that a perk of a Celtic victory for their manager in the Viaplay Cup Final would be the quelling of recent signs of a resurgence on the other side of the city in the process.

Ange Postecoglou spoke to Celtic TV this afternoon from Hampden as the build-up to Sunday's Viaplay League Cup Final against theRangers gets underway.

“I still get excited that we’re in a final. The Celtic manager started by revealing that both of his missing midfielders from the 4-0 win over Aberdeen are back fully fit and will now join the squad in training for the last few days ahead of the final. “I’m not supposed to be a supporter,” Ange said.

Ange Postecoglou will again look to exercise pilot-like control during Celtic's Viaplay Cup final against Rangers at Hampden Park on Sunday.

He said: “I think it does (enhance it). It looked in better condition. I think it is an advantage absolutely. “I am still a human being. “It is not just about the fact that the pitch stops us from playing our football, the pitch is part of the event, the stadium is part of the event. “I believe that and I think the players and everyone involved enjoy that because you get a bit of everything in there.”

“I'm the manager, I'm not a fan. Our supporters don't expect me to have the same emotion going into a big game. They don't want me to be nervous or anxious ...

It is par for the course and you have to embrace that part of it and understand that it is a different week. If you want to shout abuse, you have to do that, and if you want to lose yourself in delirium, you have to do that. It is not just about the fact that the pitch stops us from playing our football, the pitch is part of the event, and the stadium is part of the event. It doesn’t carry on to this final and the responsibility you have representing this football club as the manager means that we have got to a cup final and there is a chance for us to win it. Don’t just use it as a game where you get the win and get it out of the way because you could be missing a little nugget of gold that will make it all worth it and give you comfort on the days when it’s all gone.” This is not a normal week and you have got to embrace the fact that it is a cup final week. You enjoy that part of it but for me, it is more about making sure the players are prepared for the challenge that lies before them at the weekend. They have helped us not just in terms of matches but in training also as the levels and the quality of our training have been raised. Other times one team is pretty dominant but what you do know is that it is a game of great consequence and both teams will be up for it and it will be a fantastic atmosphere. We feel that we had a good first half of the year to be fair but we have consistently improved in recent weeks. It is a cup final and there is a trophy on the line. It is one of three on offer domestically and you want to make sure that we are ready for the day and that we perform well and hopefully, we get the job done.”

ANGE POSTECOGLOU is hoping the much-maligned Hampden pitch will hold up to allow Celtic and Rangers to put on a League Cup Final Hampden classic...

You’ve got two good footballing teams and the pitch and the stadium are part of that event, and you want them to be presented well. “The whole pitch thing is not just a challenge, this is an event to showcase our football. That would keep me up at night. [Scotland](/news/homenews/) but all over the globe. So, it looks okay. “I think when you have been on a run like we have and with the consistency we have you have to overcome different challenges and the lads have been really good at overcoming whatever is before us.

The Parkhead boss is confident his side can see off their rivals as he insists he's losing no sleep over who will start.

At the same time, we understand that domestically there are three trophies on offer and if you can get to a final that gives you a chance to win one and we want to in it because there are not guarantees you’ll be in it next year. “So our focus is on preparing and being ready for it and trying to be really strong on the day. If we get the job done, then great. What we have seen, particularly since the start of the year, is that irrespective of who starts, we’ll finish strong because the guys coming are making a big contribution.” The whole pitch thing is not just a challenge, this is an event to showcase our football. And Postecoglou, who was speaking at the National Stadium ahead of the final, said: “It’s definitely in better condition than it was on semi-final day and, hopefully with the weather holding out over the next few days, it should still be in much better condition. Obviously I want to win, but you want to win a game that people talk about. Turnbull and Mooy will train through the week so as we sit right here right now they should be available.” Postecoglou, meanwhile, doesn’t feel the outcome of Sunday’s encounter will have any notable effect on the season afterwards. When we lost the semi-final last year, it didn’t derail our determination to be champions. [Michael Beale](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/michael-beale) both slated the park as their teams defeated Kilmarnock and Aberdeen respectively to make it through to the Final. Hampden’s ravaged pitch was hammered in the wake of the semi-finals after it cut-up badly in horrendous weather conditions.

Ange Postecoglou took part in a media event with Michael Beale at Hampden Park today, previewing the upcoming Scottish League Cup final between Celtic and ...

“It’s a cup final, it’s a one off game. We have to try and make sure we’re ready for the day and perform well, and hopefully get the job done. Postecoglou is obviously relishing the chance to win silverware, telling reporters [Sky Sports News 15:50]: “Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.

There may have been nipping back-and-forth between Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou and his Rangers counterpart Michael Beale over the latter's “lucky man” ...

We still found a way to get something and that’s the most important thing for us.” But I think Michael’s familiarity with the club and the players themselves, I think they got a bit of comfort and, though it was change, it was change that they knew, and would suit them. The nip-and-tuck encounter was a world apart from the 4-0 thrashing Postecoglou’s men dished out at home three months earlier, in what proved Van Bronckhorst’s final experience of the fixture. We didn’t really get to grips with it for a little period. It will ensure one of the duo is elevated and the other denigrated, despite both heading into their Hampden face-off on the back of nine-game winning runs. A showpiece between the country’s two footballing colossuses that won’t merely decide the first silverware of the season.
