Celtic Fans Have Openly Mocked A Wannabe Hack’s Idiotic Tavernier Claim.

Johnny McFarlane, the guy who runs both The Celtic Way and The Ibrox Ramble or whatever the Celtic equivalent is called, an ex-Ibrox fan blogger who’s effectively still running a blog, is being mocked without mercy on social media for a quite preposterous claim so stupid that even Ewan Murray is calling it out for the nonsense that it is.

He is not alone. Celtic fans are piling in.

McFarlane claims that Tavernier is Scottish football’s best player in the last five years. Forget for a moment that you can make a better case for Edouard, Carter Vickers, Kyogo, McGregor, Rogic and a host of others, Murray was quick to point out that we’ve sold two better players in his position in the last five years; Juranovic and Frimpong.

These Peepul almost demand to be laughed at and mocked.

McFarlane wants to talk about the “European final”, which they lost of course. He was also part of the “Iron Sieve” defence of their last European campaign, which was at least partly responsible for their record as the worst team ever to play in the Champions League Groups.

Title winning captain? McGregor has four of them in five years and is on the way to another one.

And his goals! Oh, please. He scored 69 times in that period, and that record would be massively impressive for a right back except that he is the club’s penalty taker and their club get an absurd amount of penalty kicks. An absurd amount.

The number of goals he gets should embarrass all of Scottish football.

Anyway, Kyogo is on 42 Celtic goals as things stand right now and he’s been at our club less than two seasons. Edouard scored just shy of 90 goals, but I guess that’s irrelevant to these muppets and their bizarre fantasies about their players.

Tavernier is one of these players who does one thing very well. Unfortunately for their club, and this has been proved time and time again, the thing he does very well is not the job he was signed to do, which is defend.

He is incredibly poor at that and this is the reason why Celtic sold two right backs for big sums and his own club was able to sell his understudy for a huge sum at the same time without a single decent offer coming in for him.

Because he’s just that good. But only in their tiny minds.
