Davis Cup tennis captain Leon Smith is among the Parkhead diehards feeling the blues.
Great Britain's Davis Cup captain Leon Smith admits he is still floored over Ange Postecoglou's choice to swap Celtic for the riches of the English Premier League.
The Tottenham boss has made an instant impression in N17 with his attacking brand of football just the tonic for a fanbase crying out for some thrills after the Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho's misfires. And Celtic supporters in unison felt the pain when their Treble-winning manager called time on two dominant years in Glasgow for a chance to reawaken one of English football's most storied clubs.
Smith is among the Parkhead diehards feeling the blues. The 47-year-old made sure to tell the I's roving reporter at Flushing Meadows he was "gutted" over the exit of the 57-year-old. It came amid some early US Open glory with Jack Draper rising to the challenge and iconic Andy Murray feeling the heat against Grigor Dmitrov.
Murray was honest in his appraisal after coming up short against the Bulgarian and accepts the dreams of one final push on the biggest stage might be beyond him at 36 and playing with a metal hip. He said: "It's unbelievably challenging to play at the highest level. It's obviously disappointing to not play how you would like. Maybe I need to accept the deep runs and everything that I felt I'm capable of, they might not be there."
