Thousands set for city centre party to celebrate Celtic title win (STV News)

Thousands of Celtic fans are set to take over Glasgow city centre this weekend to celebrate the club being awarded the Premiership league title.

The Facebook page, called Trophy Day Celebrations at Merchant City, said: “After the Motherwell game, gather in the Merchant City to celebrate us winning yet another League title and big Ange’s first. Around 60,000 supporters are expected to attend the Motherwell game, which is being held around two miles away from the Merchant City, at Celtic Park.

Dundee United vs Celtic – LIVE updates (Scottish Daily Record)

Just one point will seal the title but Ange Postecoglou wants his Hoops to be sprinting through the tape as a remarkable season enters the endgame.

Celtic need to be more clinical in the second half if they want to regain the Premiership title in style. Celtic didn't register a shot on target in the opening 45 minutes, surely that's got to change in the second half... Mind you they do have a plethora of options to call on from the bench if required. Charlie Mulgrew is straight into the action to take a free-kick but his effort lands straight into the arms of Joe Hart. Former Celtic duo Tony Watt and Charlie Mulgrew are on for the hosts to replace Kevin McDonald and Rory MacLeod. A draw will still secure Celtic the title but I'm sure they will want to do it in style with a victory. Celtic are on the attack as the look to restore their lead. Greg Taylor tries to play a through ball to Jota but the full-back just overhits his pass and the attack breaks down. GOAL! Dundee United 1 Celtic 1 Even though they are set to win the titkle, things just seem a bit nervy and rushed from Celtic. The time for waiting is almost over and there's a poetic element to the title that is set to head back to Glasgow's east end. It might take a bit of convincing to get them to leave the stadium anytime soon!

Celtic could win the cinch Premiership title on the same site where the relinquished their grip on the trophy last season when they face Dundee United.

That scenario is still unlikely to end in anything else than a Parkhead victory given the significant goal difference which would need to be overhauled too. Celtic are currently six points ahead of Rangers with a superior goal difference in the cinch Premiership table. Sky Sports will screen the anticipated title party live, on Sky Sports Football channel (Sky 403, Virgin 503) with coverage beginning at 7pm and half an hour of build-up.

“There’s been a number of outstanding performances from managers this year and I’m really pleased to receive it, but I also acknowledge I’ve had tremendous support from everyone at the football club and the players have been outstanding,” he said. People would be lying if they had heard about him: an Australian coach managing in the J-League. Postecoglou, who took charge of the Hoops in June 2021, said he was “very proud” and “humbled” to receive his latest award. “Everyone committed to something and we’ve had a few bumps along the road, but the whole staff and players embraced every challenge and stuck to the beliefs we have in the football club we want to be. “You have to have belief in yourself in what you’re about to embark on, but it’s not just about believing in something, you have to work hard for it and we’ve worked awfully hard.” “We’ve had a few good weekends, we’ve been pretty consistent over a while and the players have been outstanding in their commitment to playing our football,” said Postecoglou, who also guided the Hoops to Scottish League Cup glory in December.

Celtic crowned Scottish Premiership champions after draw at ... (The Guardian)

Celtic have won a 10th Scottish Premiership title in 11 seasons and secured a place in the Champions League group stage.

Postecoglou, who was in warm embrace with his staff at full time, has overturned a 25-point deficit as existed at the end of last season. Rangers were easing to victory against Ross County at Ibrox but there was never any prevailing sense of Celtic being in trouble. Neither Celtic as a club nor Scottish football’s authorities do nearly enough to discourage this kind of behaviour. United’s response, via a glorious Dylan Levitt moment, created brief moments of panic in the Celtic ranks. Ange Postecoglou has made great play of the fact there are various ways to cross a finish line. As Tony Ralston crossed for Giorgios Giakoumakis to open the scoring at Tannadice, Celtic’s party was in full swing.

For the 16th time in 22 seasons the Parkhead side are champions of Scotland once more, consigning the catastrophic campaign of last season to the dustbin of ...

It was a reminder to Celtic that their performance had been short of expectation in the first half. The goal was an absolute screamer, a goal-of-the-season contender. Deft footwork from Ralston on the right touchline saw the full-back stand up a perfect cross into the danger area. A goal down, United now had nothing to lose. The winger just failed to make contact or Celtic could have had the lead. After a laboured first half, a header from Giorgos Giakoumakis seemed likely to finish the job in style. There was a first United start for 16-year-old striker Rory MacLeod, while former Celtic duo Charlie Mulgrew and Tony Watt started on the bench. They had an early chance to streak into the lead after three minutes. In need of a single point to capture their 52nd league title, Celtic are finally over the finishing line. In their poorest 45 minutes for some time they carved some useful chances, the finishing woeful. A superior goal difference meant there was never any realistic prospect of being caught. A magnificent 25-year equaliser from Dylan Levitt made this an inexplicably nervy affair.

However, that was cancelled out inside seven minutes by Tom Rogic's close-range strike, before the leaders took control when Cameron Carter-Vickers forced the ball home after a free-kick. However, the win came at a cost with injuries to Anthony Ralston, Jota, and defender Stephen Welsh. Celtic took the lead through Liel Abada but looked set to drop points after Jack Baldwin levelled. Celtic knew a draw at Tannadice Park would be enough to secure the title and draw they did in their penultimate game of the season. The title was back at Celtic Park in Postecoglou's first season in charge. It ended a seven-game winless run in Old Firm's for Celtic and was a season defining victory for the side desperate to reclaim the title at the first time of asking. The Jambos came to Glasgow looking to spoil the party as Eills Simms silenced the home support with the opening goal in just the third minute of the game. Like many would expect, these battles between the Old Firm would be key in the title race and Rangers knew if they were to stop Celtic from reclaiming the trophy, victory at Parkhead was needed. The win left Celtic with a six-point lead and a 16-goal advantage with six games to play and also marked a 12-point swing since the winter break. One of the most significant nights in the title race came at Celtic Park as Postecoglou's side moved top of the table for the first time this season. After the Ibrox side drew at Ross County, Abada fired home the game's only goal in the 90th minute to send Celtic to within two points of the Scottish Premiership summit. Kyogo's contentious goal gave Celtic a win against Hearts to narrow the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Postecoglou stood back and drank in the joyous scene as his name echoed around the stadium. Despite a patchy display, the final whistle sparked scenes of unbridled joy among visiting fans. It made for a strangely nervous ending for Celtic. The normally dependable Hart flapped at crosses. His double put Rangers to the sword before half-time in February and turned the season on its head. His composure and guile elevated a fast-improving side to new heights while providing respite for the born-again Tom Rogic. What a stunning strike he found to drag his team level. Incredibly, it was Celtic's first league win on the road in nine months. Fourteen of his 15 strikes have come this year. Giorgos Giakoumakis' season has mirrored that of his side. Hatate has tired lately but endeared himself to fans with his vision and eye for goal. The side that day featured Scott Bain, Ismaila Soro, Ryan Christie and Odsonne Edouard. Carl Starfelt was all over the place. Others have been claimed in a more dramatic fashion.

Ange Postecoglou's Celtic appointment not the reckless gamble it ... (The Guardian)

He was in the middle of serving customers when he received a call from South Melbourne, the National Soccer League club with whom he had won titles as a player ...

The rebuild phase and the winning phase had to be sardined into the same can. He probably would not have predicted this 26 years ago, either, while he was working in a bank and Rangers were on a nine-title run. The fractured state of the club left no time to play the long game. “I’m not going to coach in between, just notch up a stint for my country as a coach flatlining.” To the neutral the sentiment appears mulish. Appointed eight months before the 2014 World Cup in urgent circumstances, he culled the veterans who had steered the country to qualification under predecessor Holger Osieck and dragged down the average age from over 30 to 26. “I know people will say I’m being ridiculous but that’s just the way I’m made up,” he said. At Brisbane Roar in 2009 he came under pressure – including from his own players – for his uncompromising style of play but did not yield and lifted back-to-back A-League trophies. “They said, ‘look, you’ve got the job for the next three games just as a caretaker coach, and then we’ll make a decision for next year’,” Postecoglou told the late Shane Warne in December. “As soon as I put the phone down I quit the bank, I walked out. He blooded – among others – a 22-year-old Mat Ryan in goal against group-stage opponents Spain, Chile and the Netherlands, and gave the latter a good shake. It is also one of the less surprising outcomes associated with Postecoglou. Now it is confirmed, and Celtic’s capture of the Scottish Premiership marks an unprecedented achievement by an Australian football coach.

Ange Postecoglou is the perfect fit for Celtic and now has title to ... (The Guardian)

Coach's transformation of a team who had been a distant second to Rangers should lead to substantial transfer backing.

The green-and-white grip on the Scottish game is such that excitement and anger over events of a year ago look a little silly now. Rangers will cite the claiming of a league flag that matters – no Scottish club has won 10 in a row – but the overall picture serves as a reminder of which club is the country’s dominant force. In time, especially with a Champions League campaign upcoming, this could be portrayed as a lack of versatility that will cost Celtic but for now he presides over a group with complete belief in their coach. This has been a period of concerted domestic success for Glasgow’s green half, with the Premiership campaign of 2020-21 the clear exception. The manager’s status in the eyes of Celtic’s following is such that he could add Ally McCoist to his coaching staff and supporters would find a reason to nod in agreement. Celtic, from such a weak position at the point of Postecoglou’s arrival, are the champions of Scotland once more.
