Celtic Boss Has Dig At BBC Reporter In Spiky Post-Match Interview

Rangers and Celtic both won in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday night, maintaining the latter's three point lead at the top of the table. Celtic defeated St Mirren 2-0 while Rangers beat St Johnstone 1-0.

The manner in which Celtic won did not impress BBC Radio Scotland reporter Kenny MacIntyre

"I'd love to know your thoughts on that game," he told Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou.

"I've seen some fantastic matches this season, that certainly wasn't one of them. It was a hard watch at times. That fair?"

Postecoglou suggested that MacIntyre may not have been happy with the result.

"It depends what you’re looking for, maybe you’re disappointed with the way it went, mate," said the Australian.

"I'm not really sure. We have won a game 2-0 and I think they didn’t create anything. We dominated the football, it’s hard when the opposition sit so deep.

"If anything I thought we were good today and solid. We stayed composed and did what we had to do to wear down an opposition that were sitting deep and defended well.

"They haven't conceded many goals this year, apart from [against] us. I thought we kept our composure well.”

They also had an exchange about the title run-in, and how some in the media had written off Celtic's chances earlier in the season.

KM: Speaking of the run in, I think we're all expecting it to be a tight league race this season.

AP: Now you are.

KM: You'd accept that?

AP: I have all along, but you guys had a different view earlier on.

KM: Many did, that is a very fair point... a few months ago. When you come in after a game when you've been playing at the same time as Rangers, is it something that you seek out very quickly, how they got on, is it at that level right now?

AP: I still don't know how they got on, mate.

KM: Honestly?

AP: No, I don't care because it makes no difference to us. For us, what's important, is if we're winning games we're going to be in good shape. I've said all along that I wasn't looking at the ladder when we were six or seven points behind, and I'm not looking at it now. What's important is what we're doing.
