Postecoglou responds to Spurs speculation
Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has been speaking ahead of his side’s Scottish Cup final against Inverness and unsurprisingly, he has been asked if speculation surrounding his future – and a move to Tottenham – has had an impact on preparations.
“It doesn’t register,” he said. “I get that people love to speculate on these things but we’ve worked really, really hard to get ourselves into this position and for me to let my mind wonder about anything else other than getting our team prepared for a big day on Saturday, it’s just not who I am.
“We’ve done this dance a few times this year so I think the players are well aware of where my thoughts lie. Whatever it is the players are really good at just focusing on what’s important and what’s important is getting ready for a big game on Saturday.
“I’ve handled it before, so I’ll handle it the same way. I doesn’t enter my sphere of thinking because my role is to make sure my team is absolutely prepared for whatever the next challenge is. Far be it from me to say that if a cup final isn’t enough for me to draw all my attention to that then nothing will be.”
