Ange Postecoglou has no concerns over the length of his Celtic contract, stating he works as if he will be at the club “forever”. The Australian is on a rolling contract rather than a long-term one. He said: “I have never worried about that. Long-term contracts in coaching really mean absolute Jack as anyone will tell you. I am really happy at the football club. I have had an amazing year, amazing support, and it's everything I have ever wanted in a football club. It's a massive club, it's geared for success.” (Sportsday)

9 leave Hibs

Hibs have confirmed the release of six players with a further three loan players returning to their parent club. Scott Allan was the most notable departure, joining Alex Gogic, Jamie Murphy, Drey Wright, Sean Mackie and Innes Murray to leave the club. Sylvester Jasper, Rocky Bushiri and James Scott have left following the end of their loan spells. Regarding Allan's exit, Hibs said: "A popular figure in the dressing room and a fans' favourite at Easter Road, Scott had several memorable moments during his time in the Capital. Everyone at the club would like to wish him the best of luck for the future and thank him for all his efforts and contributions over the years.” (The Scotsman)

Levitt's new United deal

Manchester United have taken up a one-year contract extension for Dylan Levitt.

He said: "I don’t know (of any interest). I never knew about anything to be honest, I just focused on football. I’m a Rangers player and I’m not thinking about leaving because I’m really happy here."
