“They still wanted to play Ange’s Way. That’s not Brendan Rodgers’ style of game.” – Ange Postecoglou makes BOLD CLAIM on the media, Reveals that Brendan Rodgers played his kind of game in Celtic.

Ange Postecoglou’s decision to leave Celtic for Tottenham Hotspur has proven to be a pivotal moment in his career, especially after leading Spurs to a stunning 3-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford. This win not only highlighted Postecoglou’s managerial prowess but also served as a reminder of the promising trajectory of both clubs since his departure.

While Postecoglou has found success in the Premier League, Celtic has continued to thrive under Brendan Rodgers. Initially facing skepticism following his return, Rodgers has transformed the team, leading them to an impressive nine wins out of nine this season. The latest victory, a commanding 6-0 win over St Johnstone, underscores the Hoops’ strong form.

Celtic’s current run includes a 5-1 triumph in the Champions League and a decisive 3-0 win over Rangers in the first Glasgow Derby of the season. Early speculation has begun regarding whether this team surpasses Postecoglou’s championship-winning side, which secured five trophies during his tenure.

BBC Sportsound pundit Allan Preston is among those who believe the current Celtic squad might be stronger. He noted, “When Brendan came in, it was a lot of Ange’s players still wanting to play his way. But having watched Celtic in the close season, their performances against Chelsea and Manchester City were impressive. They’ve brought that form into the league and are excelling.”

However, it remains early in the season to make definitive comparisons. Postecoglou’s team established a legacy of success, and this current Celtic squad still has a long way to go to match that achievement.

As Celtic prepares for their upcoming Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, the focus is on maintaining momentum. The clash at Signal Iduna Park will be a significant test for Rodgers’ side as they aim to assert their strength on the European stage.

In summary, both Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers have carved out successful paths since their respective appointments. With Celtic showing remarkable promise this season, the excitement around the club continues to build as they seek to create their own legacy.
