Steven Thompson couldn’t hide his hurt about another Celtic victory.

The ‘St Mirren’ fan didn’t take kindly to Brendan Rodgers praise of ‘his’ team after Sunday’s 4-1 defeat from Celtic in the Scottish Cup.

For almost an hour St Mirren contained Celtic, worked hard on every aspect of their game and were leading 1-0 until the 58th minute.

Thompson was on duty with the state broadcaster preparing for Aberdeen’s match with Partick Thistle.

In three SPFL matches against Celtic Aberdeen haven’t once been ahead of the hoops, in the final of the Betfred Cup most observers would content that Derek McInnes’ side failed to turn up or, alternatively, failed to land a single punch.

Sevco led Celtic for 21 minutes on December 31 before being on the end of their third defeat in less than four months from Rodgers side.

Thommo played for Rangers (IL) from 2003 to 2006 with an EBT of £485,000 as published by his employers BBC Scotland.
