It has been claimed that Ange Postecoglou will leave Celtic this summer.
An Australian radio presenter insists he's been personally told that Postecoglou will depart Glasgow for pastures new at the end of this season.
Andy Maher has dropped the bombshell after claiming that a trusted source informed him that the Hoops gaffer will leave the club in the months ahead.
Recently, the 57-year-old has been namechecked for the vacant Leeds United vacancy following the sacking of Jesse Marsch.
However, Maher reckons any potential move to Elland Road hinges on them retaining their Premier League status after this campaign.
He also mentions Postecoglou's name with Nottingham Forest, despite Steve Cooper earning many plaudits for his work at the City Ground.
It's said that Maher has provided previous key updates throughout Postecoglou's career.
And he told SEN's The Home Run: “I’ve got a snout who’s quite hooked into Australian soccer. He’s given me a steer here and there and on enough occasions he’s been right.
"Gives me a call this morning adamant that this will be Ange Postecoglou’s last year at Celtic, and he will be leaving at the end of the year. And that he will be, it depends on survival in the Premier League, he will be taking one of two positions.

“But predominantly and most likely it will be the position at Leeds. Peter Lowy, son of Frank, bought into Leeds. One of his assistant coaches at Celtic is Harry Kewell, of course a celebrated Leeds player. Huge club, massive upside, struggling to hold onto their position in the Premier League.
"The temptation of being the manager to restore Leeds to Champions League-type contention and top-four, top-six status in the Premier League would be appealing to anyone. This snout is telling me, watch this space, at the end of the season it’s going to happen.”
He added: “They’re going pretty well Nottingham Forest, Steve Cooper took over and got them out of the Championship into the Premier League, has done a good job. It would be stiff on the bloke who’s done all this good work with Nottingham Forest to replace him, and maybe even a bit fraught with danger, so that looks less likely as a potential (move) for Ange Postecoglou.”
