Flying in the face of pundit predictions such as that of Paul Merson, who forecasted his former side would rip Postecoglou's men to shreds and that the 57-year-old stayed at trophy-laden Celtic for 'too long'.But in the end it was honours even in London and it's no surprise to former Hoops man Craig Burley that the rags to riches Tottenham progress is already making waves.
