Nice touch to hear Gio congratulate Celtic on their league win and say that they deserved it.
Also nice for big Angie to congratulate us on getting to the final of. no wait. Oh well. He has a big decision to make if we do win it on Wednesday. If he doesn't he will be perceived by everybody (except their supporters) as having no class. If he does he needs to get bars on his windaes. What a pickle for big Matilda .

He’s already had a barbed dig. He’s just a fat Aussie version of Lennon.

I think so as well mph. Can't stand him already and, apart from the one you mentioned, I haven't had any real problem with any of their managers. In a way this one is worse, because I actually think Lennon would have given us at least some credit for this phenomenal achievement. This guy doesn't even mention our name in interviews, choosing to refer to us as they or them. A fat Aussie, even more bitter versipn of Lennon. What's not to like? .

I must be the only one here but I actually don’t mind him, I would never say he’s as bad as Lennon. He always seems respectful to Gio and the seem to get on ok when you see them at old firm games. Why would he congratulate us, we haven’t won it yet.

I agree AlloaGer. I think he speaks well and, whilst he clearly plays to the Parkhead gallery, he seems respectful of Rangers for the most part. He is nowhere near as infantile and disrespectful as his predecessor.

Even Nicola Sturgeon congratulated us for getting to the final. Many years ago in 2003 I remember Big Eck congratulating O'Neill's team for getting to Seville. In 2008 I even remember Scott Brown of all people saying a big well done on getting to Manchester. It is the done thing. Through gritted teeth at times, but it is the done thing. What big Matilda did was actually worse, going on about them having the real thing over in the east end. A trophy that a team could win over 4 ties and without today's crippling financial constraints. To be honest he would have been as well keeping his big trap shut.

And did Lennon and Ally/ Walter not get on famously? (apart from the one time! )

Alloa I am with you mate some people just instantly hate him because he is Celtic manager but I honestly have no problem with him comes across very well and has done one hell of a job to get that team sorted in one season to win the league.
Also we haven’t won anything yet so why would he congratulate us? Yes it’s amazing we have got to a final but we need to go on and win it.

I thought Ange was ok at first but Seeker is right, listen to his interviews he does refer to us as them or they. It doesn’t surprise me that he hasn’t even wished us well in final, he knows it wouldn’t go down well with his flock.

Wonder what new recruits to Celtic get told when they sign up?
He hasn't been here a year and all the badge thumping, and not referring to Rangers by name is a bit weird. All the new recruits are the same, there is a hatred oozing out of them,

I'm with Alloa, Ange is a cool guy who first and foremost has to play to his own crowd.
When we win, he'll say the right words.
13 May 2022 11:13:40
I wouldn't hold my breath DK. Bar72 and Jaws, I'm with you guys .
13 May 2022 21:05:09
Seeker, I’m always optimistic that good people will always do the right thing in the end.
Ange is no Lennon.

Very hard to like any celtic manager no matter who he is.
