- We catch up with Australian broadcaster Michael Zappone who travelled to Scotland recently to talk to Ange Postecoglou and experience Celtic Park in all its glory.
The viral clip of Ange's post-match speech: Michael_Zappone/s... - Sport
Aussie here Hamish. Can confirm it was very big news here . A LOT of new Celtic fans here . Love your channel and it's just great that a lot of new friendships are being made between our countries. Cheers.
aussie here too, its lovely isnt it?
Let's be honest, most Aussies don't really follow or like the real football, the bogan codes dominate.
@@andrewjenkins2918 hey man have some hope. Things change.
We''ll outlive capitalism, we'll outlive football-snobbery. We put in the leg work to be the change we want, y'know
@@jord.an6123 Modern football is the epitome of capitalism.

The best thing about Celtic are their fans. They are really friendly and welcoming to foreigners and that’s a trait that’s quite rare in European football. From my(Chinese/malaysian Aussie) first encounter with them in 99/00(minivan full of Celtic fans stopped to help me and my broken down car on the motorway)to watching them embrace Japanese fans, and now us aussies, I’ve really got nothing but positive things to say about them.
With Ange at the helm ive no doubt the club is set to reach new heights, so strap yourselves in guys! Special thanks to the club and fans for letting us foreign fans come along for the ride. HH
CELTIC FANS JST WANT TO PARTY AND ANYONE'S WELCOME 🎉🎉🎊🎊 EXCEPT THEM😜☘️🍀🇮🇪🏴🍀☘️🏆⭐ CHAMPIONS AGAIN AS U KNOW 🍀☘️ LOVIN BIG ANGE!!!💚🤍🧡
Zappers! Can confirm I had someone yell Mon the Hoops at me as I walked down a cold Sydney street on Monday night in my Celtic jersey. Lots of Celtic love down under.
Zappers is a great bloke. Awesome work getting him on. Have loved all the Aussie appearances on 67 Hail Hail over the season.
Before Ange I only saw highlights of Celtic when Rogic scored a goal. However now I would consider myself a supporter of the team watching the last few games of the season at a pub in Sydney. Looking forward to getting my hands on a shirt when Celtic come down under in November
Another Aussie here too, I would have thought that the Directors or others responsible for appointing Ange should be getting some love for their choice... They took the risk, and copped lots of abuse initially, so all power to them!
Tom Rogic gave few interviews in his 9 years but the best was a few months ago. Reminding everyone that WE have on top of the pile for 10 years.
one of the best responses of all Celtic players . . . . . Ever
It was precisely because Ange is Australian, that I was so keen on him long before it was clear that his philosophy was going to work at Celtic.
I am American. The world game (football, futbol, fußball, calcio, soccer, whatever one chooses to call it) has been my first sporting passion since I was a small child. I know what it is to love a game which those around me consider a foreign curiosity.
It is also why I sometimes get a little defensive when I pick up hints of what I regard as European football snobbery. Now that my club features an Australian manager, an American center back, an Israeli winger, and four Japanese, it makes me proud as a member of the "nontraditional" footballing diaspora. That pride swells even more when I see the warmth and enthusiasm with which those players and managers are greeted.
The only thing to make me prouder, will be to see Celtic fan Support for the Stars and Stripes when we humble those English wankers in Qatar this coming November. The Three Lions are far too confident - especially given the fact that they've never beaten the US in WC competition.
Hail hail
COYBIG
Through the perilous fight
I believe that we will win
🇮🇪🍀🇺🇸⚽✊
Nice message mate
Superb post, mate 👌🏼
People writing off USA for the World Cup are stupid, hope you get a result against England 🇮🇪
Wonderfully said! fuck Borders and racism. ☘️HH
Loved your comment 💚🍀 Also please do absolute carnage on the 🏴🙏They are so arrogant and deluded. We will definitely all be waving the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 don't you worry Hail Hail 🍀💚☘
Ange is a very special human being and an exceptional manager and we're so lucky to have him at Celtic. He's doing an amazing job and none of us expected him to win anything much less a double in his first season. Most Celtic supporters would've been expecting us to close the gap to kid on Rangers but what he's done is remarkable. Not many of us had heard of him and were probably a bit nonplussed about his appointment but the minute he got the job we were all right behind him and he's proved all the doubters wrong. The support of kid on Rangers and the smsm had him sacked by Christmas and he's made them all eat their words. I hope this man is at Celtic for a long time to come as I feel he's going to take us to new heights, he's got an aura about him and his press conferences are essential viewing and I've never known any other manager have that in my near 60 years as a Celtic supporter. God bless Ange and his family and every single supporter in the Celtic family and long may we have success HH
Brilliant interview Hamish. Thanks to Michael for taking the time to do this. Well done 👏
hey june so to bother you but is that an anarchist flag in your post? Based. Anarchism is equitable ideology of the future.
Hamish love your work Australian Celtic fan here, we are so proud of him!
My Italian team is in the shit so, I’m loving watching Ange play his style of football sheer brilliance and beauty!
See you next year guys !!!
HAIL HAIL
Love your work
the man is class on and off the park thank you sir hh
Love Zappers! What a guy!
Great video Hamish....we are so fortunate to have Ange. The future's bright but definitely NOT orange ☘️HH.
Another superb insight video Hamish and a big thanks to Michael for giving his time up to do the video ☘️HH
Top job. Top guest. Hamish has learned the secret of good interviewing, short questions, don't interrupt the answers!
Great interview.lived in Aus for a year. Aussie rules football (grand final get 100k at it) and rugby league fantastic to go to.
Thanks Hamish 😊 Brilliant interview. Interesting to hear Michael's experience. He was a great guest 👍🏻 HH 🍀💚☘
Great interview.
The love Celtic are getting from down under can only be a good thing for the club.
Ya have to put up the clip of yourself on Aussie news.
And Japan ☘☘☘
@@SL-fg1cd Yeah, of course.
This Ange dude has likely swelled the Celtic support by God knows how many thousands in less than a year!
Some Man!!!
great interview
That was fantastic Hamish, I really enjoyed that. It was great to hear an Aussie reporter and his opinion of the few days with Celtic and Celtic park, enjoying our football and celebrations. 🍀💚🍀🏆🏆
Really enjoyed this interview, ty
More, Hamish, more! Another brilliant video - loved it.
Zappers is spot on. Ange is a hero Down Under.
Excellent content as usual. Really enjoy this channel. Great work Hamish 👍🍀
Another cracking guest Hamish! Zappers is a legend. Hoping one day you can do an interview with Thomas Broich, the German maestro who enjoyed a great working relationship with Ange and is the best player to have ever played on our continent
bullshit greatest player r u blind i can name at least six gun players in the NsSL that were as good and better , M,VIDUKA, P trimboli, M durakovich, chris kalanztis , and so on
One of the best players in the 'A League' era of football in Oz
I saw him in and around pitch side for the Motherwell game. 👍🍀
Another great interview Hamish 😎👌🏻
Seems like a gentleman think Austrailia are my next favourite country outside of Scotland they have a great attitude towards life and football and of course have good crack HH
its been a pretty awful place the past 2 years to be fair... I wouldn't recommend anyone visit or migrate here unless they're escaping war
@@Lupi33z don't like it. Leave then
@@Lupi33z the last two years have been pretty shitty everywhere so that’s a bit of a silly statement. This is a fantastic country, I for one feel lucky to be here.
@@garywilson7537 people like you give me more reason
Brilliant interview Hamish. It’s just great to hear how other non Scottish journalists view the Celtic experience.
Brilliant show again Hamish ty
Well said Zappers. Well said.
Good interview again Hamish.
Smashing it Hamish..
onya Zappas
Great interview love zappas
Australia has an interesting sports landscape! Soccer is the number 1 sport as far as participating numbers are concerned in junior sport... but many kids play multiple sports and they ed up giving it away
We may not be born of common blood, but where are Celtic Family!
Australia and Scotland have been tied for over a century.. im from butney Bay in maryhill Glasgow. Australia has their equivalent.....botany Bay... Australia has some Scottish roots. 🏴 🇮🇪 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 🇺🇸 🇬🇷 🇩🇰 🇸🇪 I think celtic were the first british club to field a black football player... first British team to win the European Cup. Only team in history to win the European Cup (all from around Glasgow) and to have clean sweep of domestic trophies that season.. European Cup, league Cup, Scottish league, Scottish Cup and Glasgow Cup. All in 1 season. Greatest team in history,, won the first ever 9 in a row. HAIL HAIL ☘ the mighty celtic.
By the way, I smashed the bell, first time ever to do so on any CZcams channel. Hail, hail.
Brilliant
Love this
In Ange We Trust
Great to see an Aussie in Scotland doing well I'm a Rangers fan with a lot of respect for the guy and how he conducts himself.Its a pity or it's more of a unwritten rule you'll never see an Australian flag in the hands of any celtic fans the union flag part of its like daylight hitting dracula 🇬🇧
Great work again Hamish. I enjoyed the interview with Michael but wanted to dispute or at least provide a bit more context on the relative popularity of football/soccer in Australia. It is true that it is a crowded marketplace in Oz where football has to compete against a range of other football codes, cricket, basketball etc. However the local league here is maybe a 4th tier football league whereas the EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and indeed the SPL is available to all who want to watch it and sometimes the comparison is not favourable to put it mildly. In other words, the local game here has to compete against overseas football leagues that have more heritage, intensity and higher quality players etc.
To compound this, our AFL competition and Rugby League comp have the best players in the world for both comps playing in their respective comps. Without wanting to be too provocative - largely because virtually no-one else plays these codes anywhere else in the world - certainly for AFL and with the exception of pockets of NZ, England, France and PNG for Rugby League. So it's not comparing apples with apples. On a 2nd point - football has more registered players than any of the other football codes so there is potential here but the game doesn't have the roots and tradition that the other codes have.
great talk bhoys
How do you get these guys? Great interview
My impression was that Celtic signing Ange was the biggest news in Australia. No Aussie manager has ever taken over a big European club. Most people in Australia assume Celtic win the title every season, so outside soccer (football) fans, I think most were oblivious to how monumental winning a league-league cup double was (given Ange's starting situation).
Big europeon club hahahaaa
Never been so excited for a season ahead. Struggling to find things to do without checking the calendar and doing a countdown
Needs to be more Celtic bars in Australia there's a few but not enough now
Oo ah up the Za
what zapponin ?
Listening to Michael, I'm amazed he didn't mention cricket, which is a massive sport in Australia. Not that I'm fan of that particular sport. 🍀IAWT
Man I'd love to see you guys watch some tape of Ange's brisbane roar team. 'roar'celona they called them. Thomas Brioch, their star ex-Bundesliga midfielder, works in media now and would be perfect to interview about the ange early days. You could laugh about how he sacked 3 ex-rangers players on his first day of the brisbane job too :)
Agree, Broich would be a brilliant interview!!!
Zappers will be able to get Paul Trimboli on for an interview. Trimmers played at South Melbourne and is a top man too.
Definitely get Triimere on. He played with Ange under Puscas and then he became Ange’s captain. Ange had to go from being friends with Trimmers to ignoring him as coach and keeping his distance. I would love to know what that felt like.
Big parallel’s between Ireland and Australia regarding the popularity of native sports. We would be winning world cups if Gaelic and Hurling weren’t so good.
Great interview, keep up the good work Hamish.
4th in the winter, 5th if you include cricket over all the seasons. Basketball is probably 6th most popular.
Aye, icon? Calm down Mr Carton!😆
To give some perspective. Australia only has the 12 team (franchise style) A-league as a pro league. No football pyramid. No pro-rel. Football Is small change in Oz. Makes Anges achievements even bigger.
The A league is lame because there is no promotion and relegation. It is like watching “it’s a knockout “. Nothing rides on the results and different Franchises will come and go. It is meaningless competition.
Never send a bear to do a lions job. Ha!ha!!
For a minute I thought you had Tommy Robinson on. Was about to give you a telling off 🤣
Football/Soccer here is probably 9th in all fairness
Massive cricket, tennis and golf culture also horse racing is massive over here and they are all followed more so then the world game here which is crazy
Bring the ausie flags!
In a participation sense, soccer is waaay ahead of rugby league and may even be ahead of Aussie Rules.
Way ahead at youth age..dies after that unfortunately..
True, but it isn’t reflected in the sports pages,
I'll tell you this right now hamers, if celtic don't stump up the cash for ccv and Jota with guaranteed CL football, I'm completely finished with it, I'll never watch another game of football.
The guy still thinks because his on a channel that plays nationally in Australia it's big thing. Those days are over. Plus he throws an insult to all Scottish people at the end. That's the type of people that station hires.
how gutless we are here in AUSTRALIA zapponi protecting his job, when he tries to explain how Ange could not get a job in the new A-League,, basically and very bluntly the racist pigs that run the new A league, did not want a man with an ethnic long name even thou he played and coached the BEST and most popular soccer club in Australia, , it makes me sick how the truth is never told, but when people have questioned Ange on why he could not get a job he said it its because of his name, they were countless off great greek players who could not get a gig in the A league as well , ,
He has the worst europeon record in history fact . Jus won the spl title by favoured decisions by referees . Great guy he does seem to be . Next year will say so much
GHYH. go back to Seville and drink their toilets dry
Yes. Next season will say so much. Imagine how far Ange will finish in front next season with a bit of time to prepare.
Bigger, better because we never stop. 🤍💚🤍💚🤍💚🤍💚🤍💚🤍💚🤍💚🤍💚
