Ally McCoist backs Ange Postecoglou to get Tottenham firing... but explains the one thing the Australian needs to be a hit in north London

Ally McCoist is convinced Ange Postecoglou will hit the ground running and prove his doubters wrong - starting with this weekend’s season opener at Brentford.

When it became clear the Australian was going to land the job in north London some disgruntled Tottenham fans started a social media campaign under the #NOTOPOSTECOGLOU hashtag, adamant he was the wrong appointment by chairman Daniel Levy.

But McCoist knows good and well from covering Scottish football just how successful a team the 57-year-old can build, provided he has the backing to do so.
