Patrick Roberts’ brother Adam has hit out at The Sun for picking up on his twitter comments.
The Celtic winger was singled out for some brutal treatment today with limited protection from Willie Collum as Sevco defenders flew in to the ‘tackle’.
Adam wasn’t happy with the challenges his brother was having to cope with- and wasn’t slow to give his opinion on The Sun after publishing his tweets online.

Roberts put in a heroic performance up against the sort of brutality that chases skill-full players out of the Scottish games.
Within the opening minutes Andy Halliday was let off with just a yellow as the on loan Manchester City winger managed to get out of the way of a horrendous lunge from the former Bradford City utility man.
Roberts was replaced by James Forrest in the 82nd minute and was given an incredible ovation from the grateful Celtic support.
