The Sky “Team Of The Week” Is A Bad Joke. Celtic Players Will Have The Last Laugh.

Did anyone see the Sky Sports Team Of The Week?

Christ almighty, that was a joke. Four Ibrox players and the Kilmarnock keeper. It had one Celtic player; Greg Taylor. As excellent as he was that just makes you feel like laughing.

Who came up with that?

Someone with a better sense of humour than George Carlin ever had.

You know what?

Let those in the clown-car have their moment.

Boyd, Keevins, the BBC, whoever, wherever. Let them have their dishonest debates and throw up their hilarious names.

Let them enjoy these little victories whilst they can.

When this season is drawing to a close, when the big prizes are already virtually secured by Celtic, when nobody doubts who the manager of the year is and the only debates to genuinely be had are which player was the most effective, those debates will happen where they did last season; all within the orbit of Celtic Park.

Jota is the name on everyone’s lips. But there are contenders who could beat him.

A lot of us have talked about Kyogo and Giakoumakis and Callum McGregor and O’Riley, and of course Hatate. Any one of them could do it. The Portuguese wonder is in the driver’s seat and won’t easily relinquish his position, but really these guys will run him all the way.

The winner will come from Celtic Park. I can say that with full confidence.

Sky Sports and the BBC and others can name their “teams of the week” until the cows come home and fill them with every comedy selection they can muster … but we’re going to sweep the annual awards, just as we did last season.

That’s what the best do.

Honestly, I saw that team of the week and I laughed my ass off.

It’s almost too ridiculous for words.

The keeper who conceded five gets in the side whilst the players who scored the goals – including the two over-head kicks and the long range effort which, by the way, the BBC was blaming the guy for, don’t?

In what universe is that remotely credible?

It feels like something done to troll you, you know?

Like something done to piss you off.

All it does is make those who made the selection look like utter muppets.

I find it funny because of how little it will actually matter.

They can’t take points off us, but they can stop us from getting the credit?

For how long? A day? A week?

Come the end of this campaign, we won’t even remember it.

The names of these players of ours, on the other hand, will ring out louder than ever.
