Ange Postecoglou leaving Celtic is a Rangers boost but key barometer will prove how big that is - Kenny Miller

Celtic fans won’t want to hear me say it.

But I’m sorry. If Tottenham Hotspur want Ange Postecoglou – he will be their next manager. There isn’t even a debate about it. If this was Bournemouth or Fulham, I don’t think we’d even be asking the question. Even if it was a huge club in Leeds United – who are now in the Championship – he probably wouldn’t fancy it. Because, trust me, that league is a landmine for gaffers.

But this is a different proposition for Ange. Spurs are one of ‘The Big Six’ in the Premier League. This is Tottenham Hotspur who are coming for you. No-one can blame or vilify him if he wants to take that opportunity. Because this is a step to what I imagine he’s always wanted – to manage at an elite level. And if he excels at Spurs, he might even get a chance to go higher. So, if they want him, it’s happening. He can’t turn it down. Off the back of winning a Treble with Celtic, the timing might be just right. Remember, only two years ago Ange was still in Japan waiting for ANY opportunity in Europe.

If you’d said that two years later, he’d be manager of Spurs – he’d have bitten your hand off. This is a club that were in England’s top four not so long ago. In 2019, they were in the Champions League Final under Mauricio Pochettino.

And even now, they have a wonderful squad of players. Tottenham fans like to play The Spurs Way. They want to be entertained. Well, they only need to look at how Celtic have attacked teams since Ange took over.

It will be an exciting challenge for him if he goes there. And if he can improve those players – the way he’s done at Celtic – they will be on to a good thing.

The question is, where will it leave Celtic? And more importantly for me, what impact could it have on Rangers?
