As Celtic prepare to hire a relative unknown in Ange Postecoglou following the collapse of their move for Eddie Howe, Rangers fans could almost set their watch to the media fawning which would seek to put a plaster over the cock-up.

They are claiming that Celtic have been tracking Postecoglou for months and we should say there’s no reason for us as a website to discredit anyone else.
