Celtic are set to sit down with Ange Postecoglou for 'contract talks' after he delivered the Premiership title.

The Parkhead side completed a domestic double following Wednesday's 1-1 draw away to Dundee United.

Postecoglou initially signed a one-year rolling contract after making the move from Japan.

Now the Daily Record are reporting the Celtic hierarchy are keen to sort out his future with the end of the season a few days away.

After clinching the title on Wednesday night, Postecoglou said: "It's fair to say it's taken every ounce of me.

"I've put everything into it because I knew how big a challenge it was. Now we've done it, the overriding emotion is one of relief and satisfaction.

"You feel drained because we've had to be really focused this year and not get distracted. To play in this city it's very easy to get distracted by other teams and issues. There's a potential to take you away from what's important and we've been concentrating so hard.

"I know the work never stops, but I have given every bit of myself here and I'll take a moment to reflect for myself on the job done.

"It's been two and a half years since I was last in Australia. I came here straight from Japan. I've been gone for a season and a half really without a break. It's fine, you don't think about it as you go along.

"I can't wait for Saturday (when Celtic receive the trophy after their match at home to Motherwell). It'll be a great day for us and then I'm looking forward to getting away for a bit."
