Michael Beale Celtic comments lacked class and his Ange Postecoglou jibe will have raised eyebrows - Chris Sutton

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Ange Postecoglou has spent the past year crushing his rivals.Now, unable to find ways of unsettling Celtic on the pitch, there have been one or two attempts off it at somehow undermining their achievements.

Rangers manager Michael Beale opined that Postecoglou was a lucky man due to the spending power at his disposal. Livingston boss David Martindale spoke at the start of this week about the massive gulf in finances which gives Celtic the edge.

Martindale is right. Postecoglou does have a pound for every penny he and others have got.Beale’s also right. He’s right that the Aussie is lucky to work for a club that is so well run and has a sharp business model to get their finances in top order.

That provides for a manager who then signs gems to generate profit in sales. And gets into the Champions League to gather even more dough.But, whether that lucky jibe from Beale was an attempt to belittle Postecoglou’s achievements as a coach or rattle him and Celtic, it smacked of a real lack of class.
