CELTIC manager, Ange Postecoglou, has been named the Scottish Premiership Glen’s manager of the month for April, as his side moves closer to claiming the season 21/22 Premiership title.
Postecoglou’s side remained in top spot with another unbeaten run of league results during April, which included a 7-0 win over St. Johnstone at Celtic Park, as well as away victories against Ross County and Rangers ahead of the weekend draw with their closest rivals, which maintained their six-point gap at the top of the table.
The Australian manager has now picked up five of these accolades this season, having been named as the Glen’s Premiership Manager of the Month for October and securing a clean sweep of awards so far this year with the January, February, March and now April awards.
Postecoglou said: “Of course it’s really pleasing that we as a group are recognised in this way again and it shows we have been working well.
“April was a really positive month for us in the League, with three huge wins and some great performances leading to our position at the top of the League.
“Yet again, my players and my backroom guys collectively have put a tremendous amount of work in and we have reaped the rewards we have deserved.
“We now look ahead to the remaining League matches and know we will need to continue these levels to get to where we want to be.”
Colin Matthews, CEO of Glen’s owner the Loch Lomond Group, said: “The fact that Ange Postecoglou has picked up each of the Glen’s monthly awards we have presented in 2022 is a testament to his side’s form since the beginning of this year, and I am sure Ange and his coaching staff will be delighted to be going into the weekend fixtures in the knowledge they are so close to reclaiming the league title.
“A run of consecutive monthly awards like this is rare in this competition, but it does highlight the dominant run of form Celtic are having at the moment, as well as the continued positive impact Ange Postecoglou and his staff around him are having at Celtic Park.
“My congratulations to Ange and his team for another superb set of results in April.”

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
