I can't shake Celtic and Rangers alternate reality where Ange and Gio put Glasgow narrative to rights - Hugh Keevins

Two games against Livingston, not Rangers, will decide Celtic’s fate regarding the league title.

And confirm boss Ange Postecoglou ’s scientific theory about what makes the earth move in Scotland.

Since last Sunday, I’ve had this image of Ange and Gio Van Bronckhorst having coffee in that restaurant they like in Glasgow’s West End.

And Celtic’s manager saying to his Ibrox counterpart: “They’re kind of off the scale here, mate, don’t you think?”

I wrote here last week about the Old Firm fans positioning themselves at the point between apoplexy and hysteria.

Later that same day, after Celtic had drawn with Hibs at Easter Road, Ange put the environment he works in into his own words.

He said: “I get it. We didn’t win. The world’s collapsed. I understand that.”

That was Ange positioning himself at the point between exasperation and irritation.

I found Postecoglou’s sarcastic reference to global collapse quite funny, but he does have to remember that, for an awful lot of supporters, Celtic are their world.
