Former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou 'misses' fans and jumps on Scotland Euro 2024 bandwagon

Ange Postecoglou has admitted he misses Scottish football fans a year on from his Celtic departure.

The Australian boss made the move from Parkhead to Tottenham last summer and did a decent enough job to get Spurs back into Europe after their disappointing year the season before. He was left disappointed towards the end of the campaign when it became evident some supporters wanted their team to LOSE a match against Manchester City to harm rivals Arsenal's title challenge.

That's possibly part of the reason he's missing the passion of the Hoops support. Postecoglou is working as a pundit for ITV at Euro 2024 and was working on Belgium's clash with Romania yesterday when the chat turned to Scotland - and he declared himself a fan.

He explained: "I have to declare I am on the Scotland bandwagon. I followed them for a couple of years when I was at Celtic, obviously.

"They obviously got blown away that first game. It's always hard that first game of the tournament - it could go either way. The hosts could be nervous but Germany were flying, and that is probably as passive as I have seen the Scottish team in quite a long time. The strength they showed in the second game is their capacity to run, with energy. If they can bring that they can cause any team problems. They have talked about making history, I think they are a good bet for that tomorrow."

Asked by host Laura Woods if he misses the fans, he added: "I do. That is part of the reason I am on the bandwagon!

"When the national team plays they are great - and the good thing is that since Steve Clarke has taken over the team represents them really well. It is a credit to them, and the will play a big part tomorrow."
