Exclusive: Ange Postecoglou could make sensational Celtic return

Ange Postecoglou would seriously consider a sensational return to Celtic if the opportunity arose, sources have told Football Insider.

Postecoglou was sacked by Nottingham Forest on Saturday (18 October), after taking charge of just five Premier League games.

It is the second time the Australian has lost his job this year, after Tottenham dismissed him at the end of last season.

Postecoglou had two very successful years in charge of Celtic before leaving in the summer of 2023 to join Spurs.

Ange Postecoglou could replace Brendan Rodgers

Sources say that Postecoglou could be an option for Celtic if current manager Brendan Rodgers decides not to sign a new deal.

Rodgers’ future with the Glasgow giants is in doubt, with his contract expiring at the end of the season and still no word on an extension.

It remains to be seen whether Postecoglou would return to Celtic, but after having so much success in his first spell he would definitely consider the option.

The Hoops currently sit second in the league, five points adrift of table-topping Hearts, and are at risk of relinquishing their hold on the Scottish Premiership title.

Rodgers could quit Celtic

Football Insider revealed on 10 October that Rodgers is considering leaving Celtic due to the current situation at the club.

Now, the boss is growing increasingly likely to quit amid a feeling that things have gone stale as a result of the lack of backing and ambition from the board.

That is according to former Man United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown, who claims that the turmoil on and off the pitch at Celtic could see Rodgers walk away.

Celtic fans have protested against the board as a result of their lack of ambition in recent years, but many are now also directing their anger towards their manager.
