As a Rangers fan I’ve got nothing but respect for this guy. He came in and transformed Celtic pretty much instantly and has never deviated away from his vision of playing attacking football all the time. Any player is going to be attracted to playing under him and his style of football.
He also speaks really well - I’ve just sat and watched this at 23 minutes long! Something I wouldn’t have done for other Celtic managers! Think he also shows a respect to others in the game and there won’t be any controversy under him.
I remember many of my fellow Rangers fans laughing when he was appointed having bets on when he’d get sacked! Personally I thought it would either be a disaster of an appointment or turn out to be a stroke of genius - and it turned out to be the latter!
I would say I hope he starts on a downturn now but that’s not happening with where the two teams are - can see him having a long spell of dominance in Scottish football.
Great post mate 👏
That’s a very honest and eloquent post bud👍🏻
Respect..love the game for all involved 👍👍
Wise words👍👏👏💚
Respect this comment 👌
Rangers fan here. Not a bad word to say about this man, I find him fascinating and a breath of fresh air - raised in a different world of football and brings a new perspective to Scottish football. Just hope he's not on the winning side too much 😝 Respect.
Well said pal
nice one Steve respect m8👍
Me 2 Fellow Bear 🐻
Fair play bud.. credit where credits due 👍
Kind words brother
If he ever leaves football he should become a motivational speaker .... truly inspiring human ❤️
He’s a bit dour
@@FIshfood500 the people that it matters too would disagree
@@FIshfood500 Nah mate...not dour, just down to earth 🙂
I see some positive comments form Rangers fans, this is what we need more of in our game, the rivalry is awesome but respect when respect is due, thanks to the Rangers fans who can see beyond the colours.
Chris Sutton regularly mentions Ange on 606 football (radio). What a journey he's had.
He's definitely earned his spurs
He comes from a land down under, we welcomed angie and his jumper.
An absolute breath of fresh air for the game here this man.
I'm not a Celtic fan but what an absolutely fantastic guy he comes across as.
Unlucky 😀
I’m a Rangers fan and there can be nothing but respect for Ange. Talks very well, humble and level headed. And there’s no doubt the football Celtic play will excite there fans. After we won the league we all thought if we are being honest Celtic would take a few years to rebuild. Guys done a remarkable job and it’s the best football I’ve seen them play in my lifetime.
Respect your honesty Steven 👏 First time we both have great managers at the same time .Exciting times. The league is becoming more competitive and its brilliant. Great performance by St. Mirren today and my team were awful.
Even as a rangers fan this man is a class act great for Scottish football
Fair play.
I used to be a Celtic die hard and I lost interest in the game ( I’m talking back in 1999-2000 season) up until 2 seasons ago I didn’t watch any football ( Scottish, English or European) but this lad has truly turned everything on its head , there is a massive amount off respect for what he has done in Scotland. Celtic have up the standards which has dragged every other team up a level too , big ange is a manager which has the respect that comes across by the way he conducts himself and he seems to be level headed always.
Btw great interview.
Great interview. A real shame BT Sport lost the rights to Scottish football, always well produced with great presenters and pundits.
Well said. BT were better in every way!!!
I Won't Call Chris Sutton And Michael Stewart Great Pundits
Sky Sports are the pits mate. BT sport is miles ahead of them
@@thomasjones2415 yeah, he's no Boyd. He's so balanced 🤣
Yea, the coverage was excellent.
I loved Sutton. He was a monster for us! Legend!
Brings class and quality to Scottish football! Just adores the game and everything else in the cauldron between Celtic and rangers melts away because of his talent and manners! A top class human being
Honestly, I think he can be one of the all time greatest managers.
Big Ange is 1 of 3 managers in my lifetime who commands the upmist respect without saying a word because everything he says all us Celtic supporters believe he's just a straight honest humble man whose brought our club even closer than ever before & god bless the big yin for doing so
Did he just say his dad never told him that he loved him?
I'm officially going into a period of mourning that is much more worthy than the one currently being forced upon us.
Well said sir 😊
I know how he feels. I'm 73 and my "mans man" dad never ever mentioned "love" or "proud" he may have been either, just wasn't done I guess.
@@wyattfamily8997- I'm the same vintage, and same treatment from me dad, but somehow still loved and respected him.
Not a great football coach, mind.
That is what he said. In that generation dads were more remote. It wasn’t expressed but love was shown differently.
Cheers btw to the Gers fans commenting here who get Ange.
I personally think the same about GVB as a person. He and Ange have respect for one another that shows!
Lost ma dad nesrly 3 year ago and he was massive celtic fan every game a watch a feel like bursting as always watched with him but a know how u feel ange ure words get to me but a know hes always watching hh well done ange p
Ange is the ultimate football man. Respected by even our rivals. He is a special guy.
Legendary manager.
Have been following Ange since the Roarcelona days. A few years back when his name was floated for Rangers I went on a Rangers discussion board and said he would be a great hire for their club. I was pretty much told I must be joking, nobody ever heard of the guy and I should shut up. They wound up hiring Pedro Caixinha instead. 😂
He is authentically everything brendan Rodgers tries to project, (beautiful human being, football purist, inspirational figure)
The Celtic boss has done far far better than I expected him to do. He has a great ability for tactics, spotting players and motivating. Celtic have chosen well for their manager.
Ange no1#☘️🍀✊💚 great to see all the Gers fans on. Rivalry not hate. 👍
What a man he is 💚🍀
Absolute adore our manager !
Great interview !
This guy is streets ahead of anyone else in Scottish football.
Outstanding. What a guy Ange is. I think the reason we love him so much is not just because of the football but because who he is as a person. What a humble amazing guy in an industry of premadonas.
Inject this. I've never loved a manager like I love this man. He gets it, but he just understands football in a way I dont think any other manager seems to. On the pitch and off the pitch.
Absolute class act this guy, could listen to him talk football for days 🍀
What this guy has done for us is nothing short of miraculous, thanks Ange
Can we get an unedited version of this? Can't get enough of big Ange and this was a great interview.
Top bloke. Instinctively understands continuous improvement, modern management and leadership etc and he'd succeed in any management field.
One of the best attacking coaches in the world.
The man just oozes class every time he speaks
The best guy in football right now 💚
What a hero 🍀💚
So fortunate to have him 💚
What a top top guy 👏👏
seems like a really nice human being am glad he's managing my club hail hail 🙌
He fits so perfectly with celtic .
Hes just a good bloke Celtic lucky to have him not had this much respect for a Celtic manager since tommy Mon the gers edit now I’m at the end I like Ange even more we can all learn from this man’s attitude to life
Great interview .. finally getting to hear him answering intelligent questions about football .. could listen to him all day .
what a leader 🍀🏆
What an interview 👍🍀
The speech about his dad is lovely.
Superb interview with 2 of my favourite people. More of these please ? 🙏🍀💚☘️
What a leader of man he is.
Outstanding man. Could listen to him all day.
...this guy's got soul
and he brings it
to his football
& his team
I'm not really interested in Scottish football, but I like this bloke. Comes in from abroad and makes Celtic a force again after a bad time. Also, seems like a really nice person. Sure he will manage in the PL one day. Not surprised that Brighton were interested in him.
Not everyone cares about the pl. Celtic are a bigger job than most English clubs. Bigger club than them all asides United and Liverpool
@@S46-l5j I've said for ages that Celtic and Rangers need to test themselves in the PL. Both big clubs, who could both do really well in England. The Scottish League is too small for both of them.
@Sean Bayley With the extra money they could generate, they could do really well. Better players would be attracted to joining them as well.
If Celtic went to premier league next year with ange as manager I’d say they’d win it the following season 100% and I reckon after that they’d win it on the bounce due to the money they’d earn from winning and because they won they’d attract bigger players and players joining cause they want to be playing under ange 🍀🍀🍀
Who cares about the tourist league! Most over hyped league in the world England end of
legend wish celtic would tie him down long term, what a manager
I’m a Celtic fan when ange arrived at Celtic he certainly is a breath of fresh air and got the club back into shape after the dreadful season we had when Neil Lennon was manager
Great episode lads!
Chris actually interviews very well, all very pertinent questions, which we know Ange respects.
I like how he won’t buy into the the cliched and somewhat narrow minded questions from some mainstream media.
Inspirational guy. Definitely not a Celtic fan but I’d be happy to see this man succeed, the right appointment from Celtic, they took a chance and it paid off.
Great relaxed interview, terrific chemistry. J
What a man
It's his passion and belief in what he is doing, his integrity and values, and his respect for people that make him so admired and why he is a great fit for Scottish football...if he moved to the EPL this will be beaten out of him in the search for quick results/$
What a person enjoy him while here💚
Ange has done well at Celtic but his and Celtic biggest challenge is how well they do in Europe, wish both clubs well
Fair doos but the league is our bread n butter mate.
@@chewwyc I respect that bud
Pure class
Think everybody knows already that Ange is gona be up there as one of our greatest ever managers
Just hope we can keep a hold of this guy and keep the squad for a few years . Obviously these days it’s all money but if we’re in the champions league every year that can only attract better talent.🏴🍀🇮🇪
Big Ange!! Class act. 🍀🫶
Big Ange ✊🤘
I'm a Hibs fan absolutely hate the ugly sisters .....but this guy oozes class.
Unlike yer club 😄
Stop trying to connect yourself to us, yer clubs a joke
@@pessf400I would never try to connect with your club.....whole world disgusted by antics of your fans.
Brilliant! I kind of feel that this has mostly all been covered before but I could listen to the man all day. Would’ve been nice to gleam something extra out of this opportunity though. Didn’t really get anything surprising. That’s my constructive criticism.
Enjoyed this interview and so truthful in his chat was Ange a likeable guy as is my fav pundit Chris Sutton as he tells it as it is and hey was a good striker for Celtic in his days this along side Henrik Larsson and John Hartson as well as for Blackburn rovers alongside Alan Shearer when they won the Epl .
God I love his accent
Top man.
I think his hearts at Celtic and that's where he'll stay at least for a few more seasons.
He will be there for a minimum two more seasons, building wins and trophy's that is when the big EPL and Euro clubs will seriously come waving the cheque book, that will tempt him.
@@johnstirling6597 I'm not being funny but I know people who know this guy personally for 30 odd years and the big cheque book from down south will have no affect on him. Unique character. Just wait and see
@@jasonmcroberts7994 I agree, money is not the motivator, but a big club in trouble and looking for a solution, his name will come up more and more.
Yep, and I’ve heard Man City have him in their top 3 for taking over for Pep.
@Sean Bayley no doubt, and yes, who could blame anyone for wanting to face Man Utd, City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, over Ross County and Livingston, but these jobs come up in the EPL weekly these days, there's no hurry. And he knows that. Look at brendan and Gerrard, they're hardly "living the dream" right now are they!
The guy is no mug, he watches TV also!
Hail Hail Big Ange💚💚💚
God bless Ange!
reminds me of arsene wenger when went to arsenal managed in asia then changed style of football
Thye difference being Arsene was up against serious opposition whereas Ange is up against a bunch of dirt poor pub sides.
This guy is top shelf and clubs in Europe will come after him. Good thing is he's a loyal person. Love him.
Sir David Attenborough: The most pleasing voice in modern day to listen to, followed closely only by Big Ange
Keep it going Ange
Thanks ❤
Brilliant 🍀
These Rangers fan’s are true football fans their ambassadors for their club. Celtic and Rangers have an element in the support create bad headlines. I still say both have majority of fans that don’t drag their team through the mud. Cheers for your unbiased objectivity. Respect to these guys.
In Ange We Trust. Shure mics on the table are not plugged in.
Is no one gonna talk about those mics that aren’t plugged in ??
The goat .
He sounds like a top guy, and celtic play very good football under him when I've watched
He should stay with Celtic for 10 years and dominate. We will be a club legend forever, he will never have it so easy and good anywhere else
At this level, young fella, it ain't never gonna be 'easy'.
Since Rangers last scored there has been 2 prime ministers, a Queen and a new King
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In the most part Scottish footballs tried bringing foreigners in bit with no real system just random signings the few times like le guen and deila it didn't go to plan.
The whole club has changed under big ange and it's worked and he's never deviated from his philosophy.
He's brought Celtic into the modern world with new ideas etc that were sorely needed and looks like we have a plan going forward if we lose players etc which we never had before
Great just great 👍🏻
Big Ange !!
Some challenge here in Scotland. Livingston Dundee Motherwell st mirren Ross county etc etc. whow. Sunday farmer’s league.
Brilliant
I think he’s destined for the English premier league, hopefully he wins a few leagues and has a few European runs before that
Premier League isn't the bee all and end all
Or a big gun in Europe
@@THEREALTAMPATON it's the biggest and best league in the world,
EPL, la Liga, Bundesliga, serie A are the top league's
SPL standard and level of football is poor and at best it's the same standards as league 1 down south. Just look at how well Scottish clubs are doing in European competition this season.
As if the Premier league is this holy grail your talking about. Managers get sacked after like 4 or 5 bad results.
@@PRCOM would love to see a league 1vteam make a European final🤡🤡
why do they have mics on the table that arent plug in when they are using lapel mics?
Called a prop bro.
A good fit for Spurs
I’ve been thinking that a long time. Glad to have him at N17 now.
Should they mics not have XLRs in them?
Yep lol.
lolol
Here’s the winning comment of the week 😂😂
Ange yaps. Ye listen🤷♂️simple.💚
30secs for a add does bt sports no make a enough?
New contract please for big Ange
What's the point of the mics not being plugged in lol
