Ange Postecoglou will drink in Celtic and Rangers clash as Parkhead boss warns Aaron Ramsey 'it's not an easy league'

Ange Postecoglou had a pretty quiet transfer deadline day but the Celtic boss wasn’t quite sitting with his feet up in front of the telly with a cuppa.

Even if he was, the Aussie insists he wouldn’t have been spitting up his tea when the ticker tape news broke that rivals Rangers had made a major move in the final hours of the window – and just 48 hours before the sides were set to square up.

The arrival of Aaron Ramsey caused a Scottish football shockwave, as it’s not very often top-class operators who have graced the English Premier League and Serie A turn up on our doorstep.

But Postecoglou didn’t flicker.

Ramsey might have a big name and be on big money – but it doesn’t mean much in the red-hot environment of an Old Firm title race.

The Celtic gaffer reckons reputations have to be earned in the Premiership and doesn’t need to look far for an example of the flipside of a guy turned up as an unknown before becoming a smash hit.

Postecoglou said: “I don’t really get affected by what others do.

“I’ve said before that my focus is on what happens here and you shouldn’t start worrying about what other clubs could do or players they are bringing in.

“Ultimately all these things come down to performances.

“No one had heard of Kyogo but you can’t tell me he hasn’t had an impact.

“It doesn’t come down to the pre-signing impact that they have, it comes down to performance.

“That’s where my focus is. When opposition brings in new players it’s looking at where they perform and trying to counteract that.

“Are there no guarantees? Absolutely. And it’s not an easy league to do it. It has been proven before. But my perspective is on us.”

Postecoglou didn’t have an early night but it was fairly stress-free on deadline day –
