Neil Lennon has led a stampede of Celtic related twitter accounts joining Paul McStay and Artur Boruc on the popular social media website.
The Celtic boss had an eventful first day online revealing that a bottle had smashed a window on the team bus returning from yesterday’s win over Berwick.
“Incident on the bus after the match. Someone threw a bottle & broke a window. But we’re not going to let some idiot mar what is a good day!” Lennon tweeted on @officialneil.
News of a new Celtic twitter account requires official confirmation with Marc Crosas the ‘bishop of Celtic twitter’ according to the popular Celticrumours account.
The former Barcelona midfielder celebrated his 23rd birthday yesterday and was happy to tweet: “Yes..the gaffer is on twitter! “
Some folk interpreted Crosas gesture of throwing his shirt into the crowd as a farewell gesture but again he put that to right on twitter.
“Giving away my top to the crowd doesn’t mean anything!was just a gesture to my #celtictweeps” he said.
With almost 7,000 following him on twitter Crossas has competition coming from his boss who picked up over 3,000 followers on his first day online.
The Celtic twitter accounts are bound to be followed closely with the potential to score a own goal ever present- as Livepool’s Ryan Babel discovered yesterday.
Liverpool’s Dutch striker faces an FA enquiry into posting a fake picture of referee Howard Webb in a Manchester United shirt after his side’s FA Cup defeat yesterday at Old Trafford.
“And they call him one of the best referees? That’s a joke. SMH.” Babel tweeted. “SMH is an abbreviation for “shaking my head” but the 24-year-old has since added: “My apology if they take my posted pic seriously. This is just an emotional reaction after losing an important game. Sorry Howard Webb.”
Joining the growing list of Celts on twitter is former captain Paul McStay who is now running his business from the sunshine of Sydney.
Over in Florence The Holy Goalie has joined Twitter under the officialBoruc log-in.

I have a feeling that despite yesterdays initial tweeps that Lenny’s account will see heavy PR Dept involvement. He won’t be tweeting on the way home from Ashton Lane.
And rightly so.
Bishop Crosas shows the way- we don’t need to know every detail.
A thanks or opinion now and then, some minor details and clearing up some issues would be great from the Lenny Tweet.
Babel might be a hero to some Liverpool fans but I prefer sensible Celtic tweeting

I’m not getting the bishop thing…
Celticrumours refer any new Celtic twitter account to Marc Crosas for CONFIRMATION….. Bishop Crosas!
Ahh……
