Recently speaking to Sky Sports, Grant outlined his stance on Postecoglou, making a key prediction about his future.
"I think it is [harsh]," he said.
"I get really excited watching Tottenham because I don't know what I'm going to get.
"I think he's been terrific. I'm delighted for him that he got the European trophy, for one reason, because, for Scottish football, people might say, 'He was only managing Celtic up in Scotland'.
"He's proven what a top-quality manager he is, there is absolutely no doubt of that.
"I'm sure he'll get a top-quality job yet again.
"I'm delighted for him, and I'm sure he'll go on to bigger and better things."
Spurs captain Son Heung-Min made his feelings on Postecoglou's sacking clear: "You've changed the trajectory of this club," he said on Instagram.
"You believed in yourself, and us, since day one and never wavered for a second. Even when others did.
"You knew what we were capable of all along. You did it your way. And your way brought this club the best night it's had in decades. We will have those memories for life.
"You trusted me with the captaincy. One of the highest honours of my career. It's been an incredible privilege to learn from your leadership up close, I am a better player and a better person because of you.
"Ange Postecoglou, you are a Tottenham Hotspur legend forever. Thank you, mate."

Callum McGregor sees Rangers taunt escape Celtic dressing room as his 'quality' slapdown proven right
The passionate skipper was caught on camera giving his pre-match speech before last season's Premier Sports Cup final Celtic captain Callum McGregor claimed that Rangers don't have the "quality" to match their rivals before their League Cup final blockbuster last season. The Hampden showpiece would go all the way in a back-and-forth battle between the Glasgow giants - with the Hoops narrowly seeing off their rivals in the penalty shoot-out after a 3-3 clash. Kasper Schmeichel's save from Ridvan Yilmaz's spot-kick allowed Daizen Maeda to convert from 12-yards and claim the first piece of silverware on offer last season. But the Celtic skipper was in no doubt before the game - and the Celtic TV cameras caught him delivering an emphatic dressing room address, with a jab at the quality of then-boss Philippe Clement 's side. McGregor said: "I have said it many, many times - that is the strength of us, we are together. Staff, players everyone - we trust each other. "We have not been found wanting in that environment. You play hard, you be strong and you look after each other. "There is so much quality in this room - and it's quality that they don't have, let's be honest. We are the top team, eh? So have the belief." In the end he would be proven correct as he lifted the silverware in Mount Florida - but it's not the only time that McGregor has taken a dig at Rangers behind the scenes. During Clement's tenure he claimed they 'don't deal with intensity' and 'very quickly start to unravel' when pressed during a derby victory speech to fans in a Parkhead corporate hospitality suite in December 2023. He put the boot in further when he said the Light Blues 'hadn't played anyone' during a 16-game unbeaten run under the Belgian. Brendan Rodgers infamously took a cheeky swipe at Rangers as he claimed at least FIVE times the Ibrox side have been "coming" under news bosses in his two Celtic tenures after ending Clement's unbeaten start.
