GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST has revealed the coincidence behind his chance meeting with Celtic counterpart Ange Postecoglou.

A photograph emerged on social media on Thursday evening of Van Bronckhorst and Postecoglou having a conversation at a Glasgow eatery.

The Parkhead boss was joined by his wife, while Van Bronckhorst was meeting Ross Wilson, the Rangers sporting director, for talks.

And the Dutchman was pleased to bump into the man who he will face in his first Old Firm derby as a manager in a fortnight.

Van Bronckhorst said: “I mean we all live in the same area. I’ve met him a couple of times at the coffee shop.

“I was having breakfast with Ross and he came in with his wife, who I have already met.

“So we didn’t meet for lunch or breakfast or dinner, it was more of a coincidence.

“We spoke about the games we have played and then I left him alone with his wife.

“It looked in the picture like we were having a five course meal and having fun, but it only lasted one or two minutes.

“It’s nice, we are both managers of our clubs but we enjoy being around the city and it’s always nice to say hello to a colleague.”
