Ange Postecoglou has been labelled the "king" of Celtic, according to a pundit in his homeland.

The manager, who is well on course for a domestic treble in his second season in Scotland, has been linked with numerous jobs down south since his arrival at the Hoops.

However, Australia pundit Robbie Slater, who played for a host of clubs in England and Europe, was full of praise for his countryman, as well as another Australian in Celtic midfielder Aaron Mooy.

Slater told Fox Sports in Australia: "Their form has been extraordinary this season. 13 points ahead with four games to go. Aaron Mooy has been reborn at Celtic. He is one of their favourites and has had a fantastic season.

"Ange has won five trophies and he has got one to come in the Scottish Cup final. They will win that, so they will win the Treble. The question for Ange I guess is 'should I stay or should I go?'."

When asked about Premier League links with Postecoglou, especially to Slater's former club West Ham United, he said: "Yes, and I think there will be a lot more. He was chased by a number of EPL clubs during the season but Ange is the king at Celtic."

"It is a great job in itself and it's a massive club. They have qualified now for the Champions League and I think he wants another tilt at that.

"If he goes to the EPL he is not going to get into the Champions League. Let's be honest - 15 managers got sacked. It's easier to remember who actually kept their job rather than those that got sacked in the EPL. Why do you want to go?

"If you don't hit the ground running in the EPL you are going to lose your job. But Ange is someone who backs himself. He had to hit the ground running at Celtic and he has done it."
