(Reuters) - Plenty of scorn was heaped on Ange Postecoglou when he was tasked last year with turning around an ailing Celtic but on Wednesday the enigmatic Australian bathed in acclaim as the Glasgow club sealed the Scottish league title.

Celtic clinched a 10th Premiership title in 11 seasons on the back of 31 matches unbeaten with a 1-1 draw at Dundee United, making Postecoglou the first Australian to deliver a championship to a major European club.
