He is very a lot a Celtic man as of late but it surely seems Harry Kewell as soon as had a mushy spot for arch-rivals Rangers. The Aussie legend has joined Ange Postecoglou's backroom workers in an appointment that excited supporters earlier this summer season.
The previous Leeds United and Liverpool winger is synonymous with the early 2000s Barclay's Premier League and was a breakout star in an Elland Street outfit that reached the Champions League semi-final in 2001. He is been working with the Premiership champions all through pre-season with punters eager to see how he can deliver on the likes of Jota and Liel Abada.
However he would possibly simply be on the tip of some light-hearted dressing room stick after a resurfaced clip confirmed Kewell naming Rangers as his Scottish staff. It is unclear precisely when the footage was filmed but it surely seems to be properly earlier than the 43-year-old had any ties to Parkhead.
The clip, circulating on Twitter, reveals Kewell with two Rangers followers in a pub. One asks the Socceroos icon: "Who's your Scottish staff?" And Kewell immediately replies: "Rangers."
The supporter then cajoles Kewell into saying "no give up, Ibrox loyal" for the digicam, a lot to the delight of he and his pal. The video has amused Rangers followers on social media, however most Celtic supporters have been pleased to brush it off as no large deal.
One Rangers fan took to declaring Kewell as "considered one of our personal" however a Celtic fan summed up their emotions by replying: "So long as he’s profitable with us I’m fairly positive nobody cares who his staff is."
The tit-for-tat between Glasgow's large two is relentless however regardless of this historic faux-pas, it is most likely secure to say Kewell will not discover himself in any scorching water with the Celtic assist.
