"There’s no problem”: Huge behind-scenes rumour now quashed, it’s good news for Celtic - opinion

Kenny Dalglish had dropped a promising claim on Ange Postecoglou’s future at Celtic.

In recent comments cited by Football Scotland, the Celtic legend stated his belief that, despite the reported interest in Postecoglou’s services from the Premier League, there is no problem with the 56-year-old’s one-year rolling contract at Parkhead – as the Greek-Australian coach has no intention of leaving Glasgow just yet.
