ANGE POSTECOGLOU offered a cool response when informed Celtic would play Rangers in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup.
The draw for the final four saw the Glasgow derby as the first out of the hat before Hearts were picked out against Hibs.
It means Hampden will host two fierce derby contests in the Scottish Cup semi-finals next month.
Postecoglou was in position for his interview following the victory over Dundee United as the draw was made and informed of the Glasgow derby outcome live.
But he was calm as Premier Sports commentator Rory Hamilton delivered the news.
The Celtic manager said: "Okay. Yeah, well eh, we're in the semi-finals and we've got Rangers so on we go."
Quizzed on the occasion that awaits at Hampden after the draw he added: "It will be massive, that was the prize on offer today - to get through you know you've got a semi-final at Hampden and irrespective of who you play against it's going to be a massive game.
"That's the reward for the really good performance by the boys tonight."
