Celtic boss Ange Postecoglu has hit again at Rangers supervisor Michael Beale after his rival claimed the Aussie was a "lucky man" because of the switch funds at his disposal. The feedback didn't sit properly with Tottenham goal Postecoglou, who made reference to them after guiding the membership to a second successive SPFL title.

Celtic completed the season in fashion as they ruthlessly demolished Aberdeen 5-0 and Postecoglou referred to Beale's prickly dig as he loved one other fantastic afternoon in Glasgow.

Giving a speech to the Parkhead crowd, the 57-yera-old mentioned: "Champions again... because I am a lucky man." The line was met with large cheers across the floor.

It adopted interviews he gave earlier this month the place he was requested about Beale's feedback. Postecoglou mentioned: “It didn’t annoy me, it doesn’t motivate me, but I think people use that kind of language deliberately.

“I would never use that language about somebody in my position. I’m not sure which bit is ‘lucky’.

"I think Michael at the time was referring to the fact I had money to spend but I didn’t get to this position out of luck.

"I’ve worked 25 years of coaching to be entrusted at a club like this. This isn’t my first job. If it was my first job maybe I’d be lucky but it’s not, it’s 25 years of hard work.”

Celtic have as soon as once more reaped the rewards of spectacular recruitment after spending £12.5million on Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers final summer time.

Yet though Postecoglou was prepared to acknowledge that the Hoops have benefited from assertion signings, he was clear to level out it doesn't all the time equate to success.

“I have to spend that money and I can get it wrong,” Postecoglou added.

“And many have, with bigger clubs than ours. So I’m not sure which bit is luck. I think everything you do in life, and particularly in our game, is hard-earned. That doesn’t mean that luck doesn’t come into it at different times but to describe any aspect of my role as fortunate or lucky I just don’t think it’s a fair reflection.

“I don’t think Michael is in a lucky position just because he’s at a club which has resources that other clubs in Scotland don’t. I know he has to work hard if he is going to be successful, the same way I have.”

Beale left QPR to return to Rangers the place he beforehand assisted Steven Gerrard however the Englishman was unable to gate-crash Celtic's title bid regardless of his greatest efforts.

Yet Rangers could possibly be set to profit from Celtic's misfortune this summer time, ought to Tottenham swoop for Postecoglou.

The Aussie has already reaffirmed his dedication to his Celtic contract as he seems to be to safe a well-known treble.

However, if Spurs have been to swoop for the previous Australia boss come the top of the marketing campaign, Postecoglou is predicted to offer their advances some critical consideration.

Top goalscorer Kyogo Furuhashi and Oh Hyeon-gyu each netted two apiece in Celtic's savage demolition of third-place Aberdeen.

Carl Starfelt was additionally on course for the Hoops whereas runners-up Rangers ran out comfy 3-0 winners at St Mirren.
