Since last Sunday, Celtic have scored eleven goals in two league games and a Scottish Cup tie. And, incredibly, have had ten different goalscorers in the process.
It adds up to the definition of a team who marry entertainment to endeavour in a way unsurpassed for a very long time. Whoever is responsible for the succession strategy where Ange Postecoglou is concerned at Celtic Park will need to come up with a masterclass in managerial recruitment when, or if , the time comes.
Nobody saw it coming when he came here and created a side of extraordinary quality. Nobody, apart from Rangers fans, can bear to think about what it will look like when he’s gone.
But that’s for another day. It’s what happens in the next twenty-four hours that concerns me. Far be it from me to advocate any form of deception when the Scottish Cup, semi-final draw is made tomorrow night, particularly when Monday happens to mark the 150th anniversary of the SFA, the tournament’s administrators.
