Former Leeds United boss Steve Evans has warned Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou to stay where he is. 

The turnaround in media opinion of the Hoops boss has been an absolute joke. He was ridiculed when he first arrived in Scottish football and now it would appear that many can’t get rid of him. 

There’s even former Rangers strikers on live radio offering to drive him down south to Leeds and everyone knows the reason why. 

His high flying Celtic side are a team on the rise, playing some absolutely phenomenal football. His motto is ‘We Never Stop’ and it looks as though they won’t be as they continue to battle in all three domestic competitions. 

They have a nine point advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership and look to be in a great place to win the league for a second season in a row under Postecoglou. 

Evans is a well-known Celtic fan who currently manages EFL League Two side Stevenage but knows all about the Elland Road club having previously been in charge there. 

He reckons that the former Soccceroos boss still has plenty of unfinished business in Glasgow and firmly believes that a bigger club will eventually make an approach for the Hoops boss one day as he says they’re not a bigger club that his beloved Celtic. 

Evans like many other Celtic supporters will have enjoyed watching the brilliant football under Postecoglou and won’t want him to go anywhere. 

“From a Leeds United point of view, you MUST be considering Ange,” said Evans speaking as quoted by the Scottish Sun.

“If you’re the main man at Elland Road and you’ve a list of four names, he surely has to be one of them. He’s got vast experience, his management style is impressive.

“He does it his way and he’s getting results consistently under pressure and scrutiny.

“As a professional working in the game down here, I can tell you for a fact Ange is being talked about all over.

“I speak to Premier League sporting directors regularly and they all refer to how good his recruitment is.

“I’ve no doubt the people at Leeds will be looking at him.

“Speaking from a Celtic point of view, as a fan since childhood, they must keep Ange. It’s as simple as that.

“They saw Brendan Rodgers walk away and he came under fierce fire from the fans. I think the attraction of the Premier League swept him away. Ange also going mid- season would be a real heartbreaker for the Celtic fans.

“Yes, I think he’ll eventually work in the Premier League although I don’t see it being now and I don’t see it being for Leeds United.

“But I regard them as one of the top six to eight clubs in British football.

“Without a shadow of a doubt. Celtic are one of them and, it pains me to say, Rangers are also one of them.

“I was very proud to be manager of Leeds United and that pride will be inside me until the day I leave this world.

“But I’m also a hugely proud Celtic supporter. Do I want Ange to go? No.

“I’m hoping not. But Leeds would be very foolish not to be considering him. Who’s bigger, Celtic or Leeds United? Wow, there’s a question!

“I think Celtic’s worldwide. You can go to deepest Africa, South America or anywhere — if you’ve got a hooped shirt on, then they know you’re a Celtic supporter.

“In terms of size worldwide, Celtic for sure. But, Leeds are a huge club. It’s two massive oil tankers in the ocean.

“A lot of Celtic fans reacted to Ange’s appointment by asking, ‘Who is he?’. I knew of him through football circles and what he’d achieved with Australia.

“But, to be fair, no one was certain how he would approach the job and how he would have Celtic playing. What the identity would be, the style.

“We all know for sure now — and, boy, has it been an outstanding period. Credit to the board, to Dermot Desmond, to Peter Lawwell for getting him — Ange has proved to be an inspired appointment.”

It’s interesting to read that people are taking notice of the Celtic boss but this story just appears to be on that shall be filled beside the likes of Southampton, Brighton and Wolves.

“He’s doing a fantastic job — but I also feel he’s only about 25 per cent through his job at Celtic.

“He’s got a proper rebuilding opportunity there and the players he’s brought in have progressed things dramatically.

“If he keeps doing the job he is, there’s every chance there will be bigger clubs in the Premier League coming for him than where Leeds are just now.”
