Football Scotland is taking the fight to Glasgow Live as the worst website in Scotland covering sport. A total clickbait creation from the first, it is filled to the brim with the two key components of a terrible media outlet – gossip and ignorance. It also likes to invent stories, and that’s what their latest disaster-piece is today; sheer invention.
Not only is it an invention, but it’s a lazy one. It’s dreadfully put together. The headline is bad enough. The article, is anything, is even worse.
“4 big name Celtic transfer exits that could happen this summer after Ange Postecoglou warning” it screams at you, and this of course is based on their fundamentally dishonest headline of yesterday where they claimed that Ange had made such a warning.
But of course he didn’t. And you’ll notice the word “could” in that headline; there is not a shred of veracity to any of this; to use the local vernacular, it is reeking of stale pish. The whole article is just a scam against its readers.
And who are the four players? Two are obvious, and you realise when you hear the next two that the writer thought up the headline first and the central claim and then, although there’s an entire squad of quality players at our club, he actually – and this is the amazing bit – he ran out of ideas after the first two names. What a joke.
The first two of course are Abada and O’Riley, both because there’s already been chatter about both of them. So he’s trawled for rumours which appeared elsewhere and he has based his piece on them. As bad as that is though, the next two are worse.
The first of them is David Turnbull. Eah? Based on what exactly? Charlie Nicholas and Frank McAvennie suggesting Ange might not like him? Based on the writer’s own complete lack of knowledge of or understanding of life at Celtic?
This idiocy has been knocked on the head by both player and manager. It is the idea that refuses to die although there is not one word of truth in it.
Here’s my favourite one; Joe Hart.
Told you the guy had run out of ideas. With Carter Vickers, Starfelt, McGregor, Maeda, Hatate, Kyogo, Jota and others to choose from this was the best he could do. That’s just sad. The writer is obviously lacking in imagination, which is exactly the talent required to write fiction … but then clickbait doesn’t have to meet even the most basic standard.
Which is a good job, as that piece doesn’t come close to it.
The usual total pish and utter bollocks from the deluderino fanzine.
STOP giving them publicity…ffs.
They should have said Starfelt and Taylor, but I suppose that is taking fantasy just a bit too far. 🙂
By drawing attention to these sites all you are doing is making people click on them just to see what utter bollocks they’re coming out with next!
If you have to write about them just say “Yet more pishy lies from clickbait sites, here’s a couple you should ignore” and leave it at that.
I dont buy papers listen to any radio shows watch sportscene stv or bbc sports news regarding scottish football the celtic bloggers is where i get my info into the workings of scotlands sevco media shame. Keep at them and let them know how gutless and shameful they are to their profession.
Celtic are a selling club if any very good offer comes in for any of its players they will be sold.That our system to keep us solvent” and invest in more good players that’s good business sense” the blue media write bullshit anyway regarding Celtic.
Stopped reading their articles a few months ago. Realised it was utter garbage.
Sorry James, no I’m not really, but there is no bigger clickbait site than yours. You don’t even give contributors the courtesy of some interaction. A lack of interaction is probably not unique to you as a blogger as most I read are like you and are so far up their own backside. You would honestly think that Celtic and it’s support didn’t exist until they came on the scene.

At first i became annoyed reading your wee rant but then i realised you might have a valid point.
Also….
Lawrence Shanklland is Lee Griffiths oldest child.
I would be shocked if Clubs aren’t actively monitoring Carter-Vickers,Jota,O’Riley and Abada.
I would be even less suprised if Celtic sold any of them if a substantial offer came in.
After all Ange has all but confirmed he’s on board with the current model and has warned Celtic fans not to get too attached to our heroes.
These sites have plenty meat to get tucked into just going off what the Manager says and the reality of what has happened this window.
Juranovic and Giakoumakis were both signed on 5 year deals after all.
Both have been replaced with U24’s.
Just like Ange predicted and verified.
