Bemused And Frustrated Celtic Boss Made To Endure Bizarre Hampden Spectacle Today.

Talk about a bad idea. Jesus. Someone somewhere thought that instead of our manager and theirs doing their separate pressers, as is typical, that they should start out, at least initially, parked together?

What a grotesque spectacle that was.

Ange looked seriously uncomfortable, and why shouldn’t he have been?

When have you ever seen that before? I certainly don’t want to see it happening again.

At least they did their pressers apart. But I see that The Mooch got to go first. I know we shouldn’t get bent out of shape over this stuff, and nobody at Celtic is letting it bother them but why this second rate treatment from the sponsors?

It absolutely and continuously does my nut in when this happens.

Biggest club in the country. Get it?

Top of the league. Get it?

Reigning champions. Get it?

Oh yeah and just for giggles, current holders of this trophy. Get it?

First in the damned alphabet if you really want to get small-minded about it. Get it?

So yeah, it pissed me off somewhat and it would not surprise me if it left the manager somewhat bemused and pissed off into the bargain.

I would imagine he’d have been even more scornful of The Mooch’s ridiculous statement about how “of the last four trophies in Scotland two were handed out to (Ibrox.)” Even their own fans know how to do that math and they aren’t in the least bit impressed especially when you roll the years back a bit.

Why only four trophies?

Because to roll it back two full seasons means you’re talking about six, and in their “title year” they didn’t win a domestic cup, even with us in freefall so of course two trophies in six doesn’t sound so impressive for them.

Not for us either, but we all know that in the four seasons before that we won every single one that we were competing for.

Ange has enough to deal with in front of the press without teaming him up with this goon for a day. I really am convinced they are trying to sicken him of the game here.

They will not succeed. The best response to all this trash-talking is to win on Sunday.

Which is exactly what I’m certain he’s going to do.
