The Tottenham cost if Ange sacked 'revealed', Schmeichel rule frustration after injury
It's your latest news from Parkhead all in one place including headlines on Kieran Tierney and Kasper Schmeichel
Ange Postecoglou is still awaiting his Tottenham fate and it could prove a costly decision if they decide to axe him.
Spurs chiefs are yet to decide on the future of the former Celtic boss after his side suffered a shocking domestic campaign with a 17th place finish in the English Premier League.
But by defeating Manchester United in Bilbao, Ange ended the long wait for a trophy by lifting the Europa League and also banked Champions League football for the North London club next season.
However, Daniel Levy is expected to give clarity over the situation very soon and the Telegraph report that should he decide to axe Ange then it will come at a major cost.
They claim that a compensation bill would be in the region of £4million.
That figure would come on top of a £2million bonus for his European success.
Ange still has two years left on the four-year deal he signed on his arrival to the club and the same report states he will soon be provided with the news over his future.
Meanwhile, Kasper Schmeichel has opened up on his shoulder injury and admitted he heard it crack at the time.
The Celtic No1 was in action for Denmark when he suffered the blow and he has now opened up on what he was feeling in the moment and what was going through his head.
He also vented his frustration at a rule in the game that could have avoided him suffering the painful situation.
Speaking to he said: "I heard the crack. It was right up to my left ear. It really hurt.
"The pain was very intense. It's one of those unfortunate situations that could have been avoided if the flag had been up.
"I think many collisions could be avoided in football because of the rules that exist now.
"Those who have experienced a shoulder injury know that it just hurts. Many things are problematic. Getting a jersey on is just very difficult. I had a very good idea that the shoulder was broken.
"But if we had had one more substitution, we would have probably used it. Because the situation was that if I went out, we would have had to continue with a man short.
"When you play for Denmark, you have to sacrifice yourself. I bit the pain inside me. I was captain in that match. We had to fight on with everything we had.
"I didn't have surgery. The shoulder just had to grow together. In fact, I was back on the training pitch after just a week and a half, where I could play with my feet.
"In May I was given the green light to train after all the scans were positive. And since then I haven't had any pain and my shoulder is completely fine again."
Elsewhere, Kieran Tierney's return to Celtic has come as a delight to Scotland boss Steve Clarke.
The Hoops-bound defender - who is returning from Arsenal - is likely to land crucial first team minutes during the friendly double-header starting tonight with Iceland at Hampden.
National team boss Clark said: "Kieran's happy to be coming back up to Scotland to play. If Kieran's happy, then I'm happy.
'More recently, it's been the injury situation with Kieran. The one last summer stopped him having more game time.
'The six months before that, he'd been in Spain with Sociedad and done really well and it was good at Arsenal that he stayed and ended up the way it ended up, by getting back in the team, getting regular minutes off the bench.'
