CELTIC manager, Ange Postecoglou, has completed a hat-trick of Scottish Premiership Glen’s Manager of the Month awards, by being awarded the March 2022 trophy.

Postecoglou’s side put together an unbeaten run of league victories during March, with wins over St Mirren and Ross County at Celtic Park, as well as a 3-1 victory at Livingston, to maintain their three-point gap at the top of the table ahead of the international break.

Livingston boss, David Martindale, picked up two successive Scottish Premiership Glen’s Manager of the Month awards in December and January last season, but this is the first time during Glen’s involvement with the SPFL that a Premiership manager has picked up three consecutive nominations.

The Australian manager has now earned four of these accolades this season, having also been named as the Glen’s Premiership Manager of the Month for October, January and February.

Postecoglou said: "It’s nice to receive this award so quickly again but is testament to our whole group, and of course the consistency and commitment they have shown – and by the whole group, I mean everyone at the club, players, all staff and my backroom team who have all worked so hard to deliver such positive results and performances.

“It goes without saying that our fans have also played a key role in delivering this consistency through the magnificent support we have received throughout.”

Colin Matthews, CEO of Glen’s owner the Loch Lomond Group, added: “Celtic’s form since the beginning of this year has been hugely impressive, with 10 wins and just the one draw in their 11 Premiership matches, and there is no doubt Ange Postecoglou and his coaching staff will be delighted to be going into the International break three points ahead at the top of the table.

“They are scoring goals freely, as well as winning matches at grounds where they have had a poor record in recent times, as the win at Livingston highlights, so there is no doubt that Ange Postecoglou is a worthy winner of the Glen’s Manager of the Month award for March.

“A hat-trick of monthly awards is rare in this competition, but it does highlight the run of form Celtic are having at the moment as well as the continued positive impact Ange Postecoglou is having at Celtic Park, and so for the fourth time this season, congratulations to him and his team.”
