Charlie Nicholas reckons Ange Postecoglou is the closest thing modern football has to a Sir Alex Ferguson figure - and pointed to two big reasons why.

Postecoglou has turned Celtic around in rapid-fire time, picking up the pieces left behind by Neil Lennon to restore them as Scottish football's top dogs.

The Australian won a league and League Cup double last season and stands on course for a Treble this term if they can win their two remaining Scottish Cup clashes - starting with a semi-final against Rangers - and see out their ten remaining Premiership fixtures without an unthinkable collapse.

Central to the turnaround has been Postecoglou's globetrotting transfer approach that has seen them look to markets like Asia, South Korea and the MLS as well as a host of European shopping trips to put together a winning team.
