Former Australia star Harry Kewell is set to join Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou's backroom team.

Kewell, 43, has been out of work since being sacked by side Barnet last year after just four months in charge of the National League side.

Postecoglou revealed he decided against adding to his coaching setup initially and was assisted by John Kennedy, while Stephen McManus, Gavin Strachan and Stevie Woods made up the backroom team.

However, after clinching the Scottish Premiership title and League Cup in his first season, Postecoglou has turned to the former Liverpool and Leeds attacker who will join as a first-team coach.

Kewell just missed out on working under Postecoglou for the Australian national side and also Melbourne Victoria but previously revealed a key piece of advice from the 56-year-old.

The one thing Ange told me, and this has stuck with me, is go your own way," he said.

"Once you start listening to other people, you run into trouble."
