Alex McLeish has been renting out his mouth again.
This guy loves being the centre of attention, however limited, however briefly, and he knows the best way to get attention is to bang out some ignorant tripe about a Celtic player.
Tonight it’s Juranovic, who he reckons has had his head turned by interest from England.
Funny, because that’s been flatly denied by the player and his agent and sources in Croatia who know him. The idea that he will leave Celtic this summer has been completely shot to pieces. Only two groups of people are still debating this; those who want hits and traffic or those who have trouble listening or understanding facts.
McLeish is a discredited joke. How long has it been since he was considered a serious individual, and I’m not including gigs with the media or the SFA, which doesn’t confer that kind of status on anyone. I mean since the wider game gave a toss?
It’s been six years since he coached a club side, and seven since he coached one in Europe.
The last time he regularly made headlines for other than wrecking the Scotland international team was when he was hilariously demolishing his reputation at Notts Forest where he lasted a mere seven games.
Before that he was wrecking Aston Villa who allowed him to stay for 42 matches with a shambolic win ratio of 21%.
Quite why this guy is still listened to by anyone would be a mystery except that he can’t say a bad word about Ibrox and frequently takes shots at us. That’s what gets him in the papers.
That’s what gets him the attention he craves now that no-one sensible cares about his opinion.
Celtic fans listening to this guy should have their heads examined.
He has not got a clue what goes on in the heads of a single player at our club. He is so far removed from having even the most basic knowledge of that he might as well be just a guy in a pub.
Alex McLeish is a pig-ignorant pro-Ibrox stooge, and when it comes to Celtic he should keep his stupid mouth firmly shut.
How well do you know your Days That Shook Celtic? Do the quiz now.
In the 1951/52 season, SFA chairman George Graham tried to stop Celtic from flying the Irish tricolour flag over Celtic Park, leading to a bitter stand off between him and the club. Which Scottish club backed Graham over his stance?
