      SCOTT BROWN captained Celtic to their unprecedented quadruple treble success.But the Hoops icon took-in this weekend’s latest treble triumph in very different surroundings!

      Celtic beat Inverness CT 3-1 at Hampden to wrap-up their 8th domestic clean sweep – a new record.
      Goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada gave the Hoops a 2-0 lead before Daniel MacKay struck late on to make things a little bit more interesting.
      But Jota then found the net in the opening minute of added time to put the result beyond doubt.
      Callum McGregor was the man to hoist the famous old trophy aloft, a task that had become so familiar to Brown during his silverware-laden spell at Parkhead.

      It’s now been two years since Brown, 37, left Celtic after 14 years.
      Brown is now manager of EFL League One outfit Fleetwood Town, who finished their campaign in early May.
      Broony, therefore, is now on his summer holidays ahead of returning to pre-season in preparation for the new season which starts on the first weekend of August.
      And he’s been spotted in Florida – proving that he certainly hasn’t left Celtic behind him!

      Brown made sure to watch the Scottish Cup Final, heading to the Lucky Leprechaun Irish pub in Orlando to take in the big match.
      It’s home to the Orlando CSC, and he was spotted alongside another famous face.
      Glasgow-born wrestling star Joe Coffey made his name in Scottish promotion Insane Championship Wrestling before being snapped-up by WWE in 2018.
      Having competed in the organisation’s UK division he’s now made his name in the USA as big star on WWE’s NXT brand, which is based out of Orlando.
      And Hoops-daft Coffey linked-up with Brown to watch the Hoops triumph.
      Brown posted a photo of himself alongside the wrestling star.
      The ex-Parkhead skipper emerged as a contender for the Celtic manager’s job with Ange Postecoglou’s future in doubt.
      Postecoglou is the odds-on favourite to become the new Tottenham boss and the Premier League giants are expected to seek talks early this coming week.
      The 57-year old wouldn’t be drawn on his future after the Hampden triumph, but hinted at a goodbye with an emotional message to the Hoops supporters.
      He said: “I have appreciated the support I’ve had from day one. 
      “Because of the way I came into the football club – without beating about the bush – I was ‘a joke’. 
      “A lot of people made fun of me – but the supporters for their own reasons put their collective arm around me and said ‘no he’s one of ours’. 
      “It was up to me to repay that faith. The reason they felt so close to this team and so close to me was because while others may have mocked, they stood behind me. 

      “I think they deserve a lot of credit for what has happened because it would have been easy for our supporters to have been just as sceptical given the reaction to my appointment.”

      David Moyes breaks silence on Celtic speculation after becoming favourite to replace Ange Postecoglou

      by

      BOOKIES favourite David Moyes says he’s ignoring speculation linking him with the Celtic job – because he has a European final to prepare for.Moyes has been backed down from 16/1 to be front-runner for the Parkhead post if Ange Postecoglou moves to Spurs.

      But Moyes’ West Ham side face Serie A Fiorentina in their first European Final in 47 years next week – and he insists he’s blanking out everything else as his side prepare for that Prague crunch.
      Quizzed about the Celts links, he replied: “I’ve never even considered it. 
      “I’m West Ham manager and I’m really enjoying my period here. 
      “I’m hopefully trying to continue growing a really good football club so I’ve not given it any consideration. 

      “Through my years I’ve been linked with lots of jobs at different times but I have to say I’m really happy at the moment and I’m settled where I am. 
      “The club have been so good to me and we’re enjoying the journey we’re on.”
      Despite having the best win percentage of any Hammers boss, there’s a section of the support Moyes has never won over and there has been speculation he could call time on his three-and-a-half year spell at the club after next week’s final. 
      Asked about the possibility of leaving West Ham after the final, he replied: “I’m not thinking any further ahead than the game.

      “That’s the only focus I have at the moment – trying to win the game and performing as well as we can.
      “We still have a few days until the game so we’re just preparing and getting the players ready.”
      The 60-year-old, who started his playing career at Celtic, featured in our eight-man list of early runners and riders for the potential vacancy in Glasgow’s east end.
      SunSport revealed earlier this week that Postecoglou is set to be named Spurs boss next week.
      And we understand Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is set to meet him on Monday for formal talks, once the Scottish Cup Final is over and done with.
      Like Moyes, Postecoglou has remained focused on the final his team has coming up, with Celtic on the cusp of a Treble.
      He said yesterday: “I understand the question. It’s of interest to people and that’s understandable, but it’s not in my world.
      “It’s not the first time it has happened this year, and I’ve been pretty consistent in making people understand what I’m about and what I’m like.
      “I’ve got too big a game on Saturday for this club to be contemplating or addressing any matter other than us being ready for the final.

      Who is Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou?
      Postecoglou was born on August 27, 1965 in a suburb of Athens, Greece.
      His family moved to Melbourne, Australia by boat when he was five-years-old after the Greek military coup in 1967 and his father, Dimitris (Jim) business loss.
      While living in Australia, the young Postecoglou became an avid sports player.
      He spent most of his club career as a defender for South Melbourne Hellas which he joined as a nine-year-old.
      read more sport
      He made his debut for the Australian national team in the late 1980s rising through the youth ranks playing a whopping 193 games in the National Soccer League as a one-club player.
      What clubs has he managed?
      Postecoglou’s impressive sporting career saw him move into management for South Melbourne Hellas in 1996.

      For the moment, Postecoglou insists he is fully focused on this weekend’s Scottish Cup Final against Inverness, with he and his Hoops side on the brink of a Treble.
      But SunSport understands Daniel Levy and co plan to meet the 57-year-old after the weekend, 48 hours after the final is out of the way.
      Then, formal discussions regarding him taking over the hot seat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will commence.
      Postecoglou said his representatives haven’t spoken to him this week about the links with Spurs, telling reporters: “They know better than to ask me anything this week, let me tell you. 

      “They know me very well. They wouldn’t dare ask me about anything.”
      Spurs are preparing to welcome incoming chief football officer Scott Munn who has ties to Postecoglou via the City Football Group (who own one of the coach’s former clubs, Yokohama Marinos) and through nationality (both men are Aussies).
      Levy is also believed to be a fan of Postecoglou’s playing style.
      So too however, according to reports in France, is Olympique Marseille president Pablo Longoria – with the Ligue 1 outfit ready to hijack Spurs’ bid to bring Postecoglou to the Premier League.
      Most read in English Premier League
      But all of the chatter ahead of Saturday’s final at Hampden has focused on a move to north London.
      Postecoglou admits he understands the persistent questions over his future but shut down any notion of him taking his eye off the ball when it comes to preparing his team for Saturday.
      He said: “I understand the question. It’s of interest to people and that’s understandable, but it’s not in my world.
      “It’s not the first time it has happened this year, and I’ve been pretty consistent in making people understand what I’m about and what I’m like.

      Tottenham set to announce Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou as new boss as early as next week after months-long search

      ANGE POSTECOGLOU could be confirmed as Tottenham’s new manager as early as next week.And Celtic are so resigned to losing the Aussie that they have already started looking around for a replacement.

      Spurs have kept a respectful silence on Postecoglou, 57, while he prepares for tomorrow’s Scottish Cup final against Inverness.
      But they hope to agree the fine details of the deal as soon as that is out of the way, with the Glasgow gaffer keen to test himself in the Premier League.

      Celtic are gutted to be losing a man who is on the brink of leading them to the treble, after landing the title and League Cup in his first season in Scotland.
      Yet equally, Parkhead top brass will not stand in the way of the former Australian national chief, who joined from Yokohama two years ago.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      And they have started drawing up a name of potential replacements, with West Ham’s David Moyes, who began his playing career at the club, a likely front-runner.
      Postecoglou’s rolling one-year contract at Celtic, means there will be no hefty compensation payment to pay.
      His appointment will finally end a three-month hunt by Tottenham, who have been without a permanent boss since Antonio Conte was axed in March.
      They have previously been linked with the likes of Julian Nagelsmann, Roberto De Zerbi and former boss Mauricio Pochettino, now installed at Chelsea.

      Postecoglou, 57, will link up again with Spurs’ new chief football officer Scott Munn, who starts work next month.
      The two Aussies previously worked together for the City Football Group.
      Tottenham’s imminent appointment of Postecoglou will bring about their long and very public stint without a permanent manager.
      Spurs chief Daniel Levy gave Conte the boot in March following a torrid run of results and several public outbursts from the Italian.
      Cristian Cellini – Conte’s number two – took the reigns on an interim basis but was also given the axe following the team’s embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Newcastle last month.
      Former Spurs fan favourite Ryan Mason was then re-appointed as the club’s second interim manager of the season but was unable to turn their fortunes around.
      Mason’s second spell as interim boss saw Spurs win just two of their final six fixtures of the season.

      Postecoglou will no doubt have been enticed to take the Tottenham poison chalice by the prospect of managing Harry Kane, who recently hinted he may STAY at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
      When recently asked about speculation he’ll join Manchester United, The England international told BT Sport: “No, no.
      “That’s part and parcel of being a footballer – especially when you’re at the top of your game.
      “I’ve just been focusing on this season and trying to help the team as much as possible.

      Tottenham fans launch ‘no to Postecoglou’ campaign – and Celtic fans all have the same reaction

      Postecoglou is Spurs’ preferred candidate to take over permanently from Antonio Conte.
      He, and former Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers, are front-runners for the north London post.
      It is anticipated Daniel Levy – and incoming football chief Scott Munn – will make a move for the Celtic boss after this weekend’s Scottish Cup final.
      But that flies in the face of Spurs’ fans’ wishes.

      They have set up a ‘No to Postecoglou’ campaign, railing AGAINST the potential appointment of the two-in-a-row SPFL winner.
      And regardless if he completes a treble on Saturday at Hampden, or not, a section of the north London fanbase claims ‘we deserve better’.
      The hashtag #NoToPostecoglou started at the weekend, but swept across Twitter this afternoon – and had some unexpected support from CELTIC fans.
      Far from agreeing their manager isn’t good enough for the gig they have backed Spurs’ fans’ anti-Ange stance in order to keep the Australian at Parkhead.
      Most read in Football
      His revamp two years ago ushered in a new era and Hoops fans have been loving it ever since, sweeping four trophies of a possible five and another on the line against Inverness Caledonian Thistle this weekend.
      And Hoops fans have given the campaign backing – with a particularly healthy dose of sarcasm.
      Several social media users with Celtic profile pictures, names and shamrock emojis have added their voice to the campaign.
      One said: “#NoToPostecoglou Spurs deserve someone better like Brendan Rodgers – COYS.”
      Another wrote: “More than happy to get behind the #NoToPostecoglou campaign, on behalf of @SpursOfficial fans.”
      A third Celtic supporter added: “I’m on this bandwagon #notoange #notopostecoglou this guy is the real deal and far too good for Spurs. Best manager we have had since the 60’s/70’s.”
      And another Hoops fan summed up the general feeling by tweeting: “#NoToPostecoglou #NoToAnge And so say all of us, let him stay in Scotland winning trophy after trophy.”
      It is not an unusual scenario for the boss either.

      Arriving in Glasgow one a one-year rolling contract as a relatively unknown name, many doubted he would bring success to the Scottish giants, but he has since proved to be a worthy appointment.
      Postecoglou lifted a domestic double in his first season in charge and made it three trophies when Celtic beat their Old Firm rivals Rangers in the Viaplay Cup final at Hampden.
      Last weekend he was reacquainted with the SPFL title with a first Scottish Cup – and a domestic clean sweep – on the line in three days’ time.
      Fans had a dig at those who doubted his longevity when he hit the 100-game milestone earlier this season.
      They unfurled a banner saying ‘Gone by Christmas? Here’s to 100 more’.
      Whether Spurs will have a say in him reaching that next target remains to be seen but the fans have had their say – as have pundits.
      Outspoken duo Richard Keys and Andy Gray firmly backed Brendan Rodgers for the job and insisted he was a BETTER option for Levy.
      Speaking on BeIN Sports, the former Dundee Utd and Rangers striker Gray asked his co-host: “What has Postecoglou got, or done, that Brendan Rodgers hasn’t bettered?”

      Keys replied: “Nothing. Nothing like what Brendan Rodgers has done.”

      Though the North London club have maintained throughout the search for a permanent successor to Antonio Conte, there is no preferred candidate above any other.
      Postecoglou, 57, has hugely impressed during his two-year stay at the Bhoys and has implemented the kind of progressive playing style Daniel Levy has promised fans next term.
      The former Socceroos chief is known by incoming Spurs’ chief football officer Scott Munn, a fellow Aussie who will begin his new post on July 1.
      Both Munn and Postecoglou have worked for the City Football Group, with the former being chief executive of Melbourne City and the Chinese arm of CFG operation.

      Ex-Barcelona and Spain chief Luis Enrique, 53, remains a contender for the Spurs job, which has been vacant since Conte left on March 27.

      Watch wild moment Hearts & Hibs players, coaches and staff caught up in mass brawl on pitch after Edinburgh derby

      And that sparked furious scenes as both sets of players and benches clashed on the pitch.
      Hibs sub Rocky Bushiri had to be held back after Jambos sub Ross Stewart swung at him.
      And goalkeeper coach Paul Gallagher also clashed with CJ Egan-Riley.
      Tensions boiled over after the ten man Jambos got the point they needed to claim a Euro spot.

      They went ahead through Yutato Oda, the Japanese starlet’s first goal for the club.
      Kevin Nisbet levelled after Alex Cochrane was sent off for a challenge on Lewis Miller.
      But Johnson’s men were unable to get the winner they needed to pip their Capital rivals.
      And his feud with Naisy, which had been simmering throughout, boiled over at the whistle.
      Most read in Football
      It means Hearts will go straight into the Conference League qualifiers.
      Hibs must wait to see if Celtic win the Scottish Cup to see if they will join them.

      Lawrence Shankland signalled Hearts intent with a meaty challenge on Lewis Miller from kick-off.
      It saw the Jambos skipper spoken to by ref Don Robertson with less than 30 seconds gone.
      It was a day when set-pieces would prove pivotal for both sides.
      And sure enough the opener came in the seventh minute from a Hearts throw on the right.
      James Hill hurled the ball into the box, where it was headed out only as far as Oda.
      The Japanese striker was still waiting for his first goal since his arrival in January.
      He’d snatched at some chances and been denied by good goalkeeping with others.
      But here he composed himself and drilled a low left foot shot into Marshall’s bottom corner.
      Hill was booked in the ensuring celebrations as three sides of Tynecastle erupted.
      And Johnson was less than impressed with Naismith’s conduct a couple of yards away.
      It was just the start Hearts were looking for and they looked well on top.
      But there was obvious concern when Peter Haring clashed heads with Jake Doyle-Hayes.
      The midfielder had not long returned after missing six months of the season with concussion.
      So the Jambos took no chances with Kio replacing the Austrian in the 17th minute.
      Doyle-Hayes was booked for a late challenge on McKay soon after as the Jambos looked to break.
      Lewis Stevenson then saw yellow following a clash with Oda on the touchline.
      Hibs were rattled. They needed something to get them back in the game.
      And in the 26th minute they got it. Newell’s initial flick played Nisbet through on goal.
      Kye Rowles got in to deny the striker but Miller was following up.
      And as he got to the ball he was taken out just outside the box by Cochrane.
      Ref Don Robertson pointed to the spot and then booked the left-back.
      But VAR then told the whistler to have another look.
      And having done so Robertson then upgraded the decision to a red.
      Naismith immediately withdrew McKay and sent on Toby Sibbick.
      But it made no difference as Nisbet curled the free kick into Clark’s bottom right corner.
      Now it was Hearts turn to be rattled as their city rivals took control.
      Clark turned a Paul Hanlon shot over in the 35th minute after good play with Miller and Stevenson.

      The keeper did even better to turn Newell’s shot over during first half injury time.
      And when the corner came in Miller should have nodded Hibs ahead.
      It was a let off for Naismith’s Jambos who looked happy to get to the break.
      Johnson changed things at the interval, sending on Harry McKirdy and Ewan Henderson.
      Nisbet headed wide from Cadden’s cross in the 48th minute, another good chance.
      Doyle-Hayes suffered a shoulder injury soon after and was replaced by Josh Campbell.
      Clark held McKirdy’s low effort in the 53rd minute as Hibs continued to boss the game.
      Marijan Cabraja came on for Stevenson in the 55th minute.
      Kio stepped in to deny Cadden in the 62nd minute after Josh Ginnelly had let him in on goal.
      Cadden was booked for stopping Oda in his tracks following a rare Jambos break.
      And then he had to go off after hurting himself dealing with the resulting free kick.
      Clark saved from Youan in the 73rd minute after the striker had cut inside Nat Atkinson.
      And then the keeper superbly tipped away a Hanlon header from Newell’s corner.
      Campbell fired over from distance soon after as Hibs continued to look for the goal they needed.
      McKirdy headed wide from Cabraja’s cross with 10 minutes of normal time left to play.
      Hearts were now camped inside their own half as they looked to hold on to what they had.
      Hibs were distraught at the endCredit: Andrew Barr
      And Will Fish then saw a header deflect off Clark’s right post as they went close yet again.
      As tempers flared Johnson clashed with Gordon Forrest and was shown a yellow card.
      That bizarrely led to a hot water bottle being thrown in the direction of the Hibs manager.
