And the boss says he's been telling his players to grab every opportunity to get on the pitch and make their mark in front of the Celtic fans - not just the cup finals. The boss addressed the media ahead of Sunday's huge Viaplay Cup final as the two Glasgow giants go head to head at this stage in the competition for the first time since 2019. It will be in front of a sold out national stadium split down the middle with Celtic and Rangers fans. And while Postecoglou knows playing the derby in front of a packed out Parkhead with a miniscule away support gives them a huge advantage, he admits from a spectacle perspective, he prefers it the other way.

It's a different atmosphere, it's a real derby atmosphere. Obviously when we play at Ibrox or Celtic Park, the atmosphere is very parochial in one way. "For the home team I think that's an advantage. We feel that when we play at Celtic Park, having 60,000 fans helps us. But in terms of a spectacle and a derby, having it split, particularly in a Cup Final, adds to the theatre of it. I think the players enjoy that because you get a bit of everything in there. " He was then asked if he sees the game as a big opportunity to add another trophy to his burgeoning collection having already won the league and this trophy last season. But he said: "I treat every game as an opportunity, I say that to the players. Age and experience gives you wisdom, I know what it's like when your playing career ends, you miss it all. "You miss training, you miss the bad days, the bad coaches, you'd have it all back. You don't just miss the big games or the big moments, you miss it all. That's what I try and tell the players every day. Don't waste a day, because one day it will all end and you don't want to look back and ask if you made the most of it.

"When I talk to them about trying to make every game the best game of their career, there is nothing that says that can't happen. Don't just use it as a game where you get the win and get it out of the way because you could be missing a little nugget of gold that will make it all worth it when it's all gone. " But is winning the best bit about being a football manager? "I enjoy all of it," he responded. "The only bits that people assume you love the best are when you win things. But winning things are very rare even for the most successful coaches even if you win something every year. "You've got to hang your hat on something other than that. I enjoy the hard graft when you're building a team, you're in the trenches and it's coming at you from all angles. I enjoy that bit. As I said, from when I started 26 years ago, I wanted to be a successful manager and you won't last very long in the game if you're not successful. Every time there's an opportunity to win something, I've tried to make sure the team I'm in charge of has been prepared well to do that.
