Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has once again been named as Scottish Premiership Manager of the Month Award, this time the award spans two months – September and October – to account for the low number of league matches played in September due to the match against Livingston being postponed following the death of the Queen.
It’s becoming something of a monopoly situation for Ange to be named the Scottish Premiership Glen’s Manager of the Month as his reigning champions established a four-point lead at the top of the table looking down on theRangers.
Celtic picked up 18 points from the seven matches played during September and October, with wins over theRangers, Motherwell, St. Johnstone, Hibernian, Heart of Midlothian and Livingston and the only set-back coming against St Mirren, following which Postecoglou made his way back home to Australia to promote the Sydney Super Cup and joked that after his first loss in a year he had to leave the country!
Ange was awarded five Glen’s Premiership Manager of the Month awards last season and was also named the Glen’s Scottish Premiership Manager of the Season for 2021/22 in May.
“I have been really pleased again with the consistency we have shown across the period, delivering a really high level of performance with excellent results,” Ange told the official Celtic website today.
“As always, we have faced a number of stiff tests in games but have ensured that we have stuck to our own path, followed our own processes and achieved excellent results.
“I am particularly pleased that so many different players across the whole squad have contributed so much across these important games. Everyone at the Club again shares in this award and we now look forward to the remaining challenges before the break.”

Colin Matthews, CEO of Glen’s owner the Loch Lomond Group, said: “This season is going to be different in terms of Glen’s Manager of the Month awards, given the break for the World Cup and the restricted league programme during September, but one thing that has not changed is Ange Postecoglou’s recent domination of this particular award.
“Celtic have had some tough Champions League fixtures to contend with over the past couple of months, but their league form has again been strong, and our voting panel were clear in their view that Ange and his coaching staff were worthy winners over the last two-month period.

“Significant wins over rivals (the)Rangers, Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian have eased the disappointment of losing their 100 per cent league record at St. Mirren, and I send my congratulations once again to everyone at Celtic Park for what remains a tremendous start of the season.”
