The former Socceroos manager, who took the reins at Parkhead five months ago charged with restoring their Scottish domination, ended up hoisting matchwinner Kyogo Furuhashi aloft on Sunday after the Japanese scored twice to earn Celtic a 20th League Cup triumph.
It meant contrasting fortunes for two Socceroos stars with Celtic's Tom Rogic playing an immense part in Celtic's victory as he set up the winner while Hibs' winger Martin Boyle was on the losing side.
Boyle had sent over the corner from which Paul Hanlon headed the Edinburgh side into the lead in the 51st minute only for Furuhashi to respond just a minute later.
The Japanese international then latched on to Rogic's clever, quickly taken free-kick in the 72nd minute to clip the ball past the advancing Hibs' keeper for his 16th goal of the season.
