Former Rangers star Barry Ferguson has blasted the Tottenham fans who were campaigning against Ange Postecoglou’s appointment, accusing those supporters of ‘snobbery’ and being ignorant of the Celtic boss’ work.
As expected, Postecoglou‘s move to Spurs has gained traction following the Scottish Cup final on Saturday, with some reports claiming that the Australian has now agreed a two-year contract with the North London club, with the option to extend it for one more year (Fabrizio Romano).

The news has split the Spurs fan base, with some excited about the kind of football that the 57-year-old will get the side playing while some others are glad that the club finally have someone in place more than two months after Antonio Conte‘s sacking.
However, there is also a very vocal minority, who are seemingly angered by the impending appointment, questioning how a manager who has only worked in Scotland, Japan and Australia is good enough to make the jump to the Premier League.
In fact, some of those fans even got the ‘#NoToPostecoglou’ trending on social media a few days ago (talkSPORT).
Ferguson has now ripped into those fans and backed Postecoglou to do wonders with the kind of attacking talent he would have at his disposal at Spurs.
The 45-year-old told The Daily Record: “One thing that’s annoying me already is the reaction I’ve seen from some Spurs fans who are actually campaigning for their club not to appoint Postecoglou.
“The level of arrogance, ignorance and disrespect that’s being shown is a disgrace. It’s typical of the kind of snobbery that the English show to the Scottish game.
“They look down their noses at us, even when the likes of John McGinn, Andy Robertson and Kieran Tierney are ripping it up in their own Premier League.
“It cracks me up. I saw it with my own eyes when I was down there at Blackburn and Birmingham and I couldn’t stand it then either.
“If any of these fans had actually bothered to take a look at what Postecoglou is all about – and what he could bring to their club – then they’d be thrilled at the thought of what he might be capable of with players like Harry Kane and Son Heung-min in his team.”

The scepticism from some fans is understandable as, in reality, the Scottish top flight is comparable in quality to League One.
However, having said that, the pressure that comes with managing Celtic is considerable, and the way Postecoglou has handled it has certainly been impressive.
