Kenny Miller’s Rambling Celtic-Ibrox Interview Shows Why He Shouldn’t Be On The BBC.

Kenny Miller is in the papers after giving a wide-ranging interview in which he talked endlessly about his love for the Ibrox clubs. So much so that he was thinking about his return to that ground even on the day of his Celtic unveiling. Now we know why the club moved him on as swiftly as it did.

If that was his objective, he never should have signed for us at all.

Still, I think the interview and the coverage of it shines a big light somewhere we need it to be shone; on BBC Sports Scotland and their policy of putting on the air every single person they can find with the remotest connection to that club.

Miller has used his interview to virtually plead for a return to Ibrox as a coach.

This is a guy advertising himself for that job.

He’s not, then, by any stretch of the imagination, a neutral and so for the national broadcaster to put him on air, knowing that he sees it as nothing more than a means to an end on the road back to Ibrox, would be lamentable.

Here in Scotland, the BBC sports department’s policies are increasingly hard to defend. The tax payers are funding what basically amounts to an Ibrox reunion every single week now.

There’s not even the slightest pretence of balance about it anymore, and so I would not be terribly surprised if they instead gave Miller the anchor’s chair on one of their shows.

But based on his comments here you could not get a clearer impression of where his loyalties lie and how completely he views the world through a blue tint.

The guy is a poster boy for bias, and although the rest of them don’t exactly hide it he has decided to broadcast it loud and clear and I really don’t know what function it serves to even pretend that he’s objective.
