Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has been compared to the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson by former Celtic and Arsenal striker Charlie Nicholas. Writing for the Scottish Daily Express, the pundit said: “Ange Postecoglou is a modern-day version of Sir Alex Ferguson. He is just a relentless winner. Ange is so simplistic.

“He has an incredible motivational side. We know he doesn’t speak to his players a lot. He talks to them individually on the training pitch but not really off it, but is remarkable how tough he has made this Celtic team both physically and mentally. You never really saw Ange over-praising his players. He just gets on with it and moves on to the next challenge.

“It was like Sir Alex after he had led Aberdeen to the Scottish Cup against Rangers. He ranted and raved on the pitch saying the performance was a disgrace although they lifted the cup Willie Miller and Alex McLeish were the only players to get pass marks. Ange is just like that. He treats them to keep them keen. This manager has a style and has really got something special going at Celtic.”

Morelos tells Rangers ‘the truth’ about Sevilla links

Per a report from the Daily Record, Alfredo Morelos has told Rangers he hasn’t penned a pre-contract with Sevilla despite reports coming out of the Spanish press. The Colombian is out of contract in the summer, along with a host of other Ibrox first team stars, and it is claimed that Michael Beale is yet to sit down with him to discuss his future.

The article claims that Morelos has informed Rangers that he hasn’t spoken to or agreed terms with any other club. He is however free to do so at any point until he signs a new deal.
