Our Rival’s Plea To Brighton Proves The Celtic Manager Is No Longer A Joke To Them.

Oh how tragic. How sad. How desperate.

Ibrox fan sites are tonight virtually begging Brighton to end their Hell and take Ange Postecoglou, the man they have consistently sneered at and laughed over.

If you don’t believe me, go ahead and see for yourself.

At a time when most of them are meant to be mourning their dearly departed monarch, a thread on one particular site, on Ange and Brighton, sits as the third most active and has reached 22,000 views and garnered more than 500 replies.

They aren’t laughing any longer. These Peepul are terrified and that they actually believe this could happen, or want to believe that it could happen, shows how little hope they have of their team being able to stop this Celtic juggernaut whilst he is at the helm.

Talk about a back-handed compliment.

Other of their fan-sites are weighing in, with a tone more akin to desperate pleading than anything else. They know, deep down, that there isn’t the remotest possibility of this happening, but that they are even discussing it in the manner which they are shows that the fear has gripped them, the fear that the big guy has their number.

And he does, of course, as that pasting we gave them just a week ago (it seems longer, doesn’t it?) proves conclusively. They have spent the past week reeling from it, a situation not made any better when they watched us go after Madrid aggressively, and then saw their side flop meekly to another scudding at the hands of Ajax.

Celtic is a settled environment right now, and when that’s the case there are always people out there trying to stir the pot. But the reek of desperation from their supporters is new and fresh and welcome and hilarious.

They should stick to honouring their dead idol and stop indulging in this kind of daftness. They are only going to be disappointed.
