Micky O’Halloran might have thought that his career had taken a bad turn over the last year but the Sevco winger now faces a living hell.
Pictures of a fan bearing an uncanny resemblance to the former St Johnstone star at Hampden on Saturday weren’t quite conclusive but this morning his agent has confirmed that O’Halloran was sitting among Celtic fans at Hampden.
That’s the Hampden where the same supporters celebrated and gloated for 90 minutes last month as the hoops hammered the company that pays his wages 4-0.
‘Get him out’ is perhaps among the politest reaction he’ll find on social media.

Michael Ohalloran? Fuck me wit does everycunt expect way a name like that baffles me how the talentless taig has lasted so long at us. Jimmy Bell better be waiting on him armed way a hawfer and a pitching wedge on the 1st June at the gates of Murray Park.

Speaking to the Daily Record his agent Kenny Moyes said: “Michael didn’t realise he would be surrounded by Celtic fans but hindsight is a great thing and he now regrets the decision as he accepts it doesn’t look too good.
“I know he is taking some stick from the Rangers fans but he absolutely wasn’t at Hampden as a Celtic supporter. He’s a Rangers player.
“He is concerned at how it looks to the Rangers supporters but he thought he would be in a neutral section and didn’t realise until it was too late.
“Motherwell were keen on signing Michael in January and he requested a ticket for the Cup Final through the SFA to watch the game as a neutral.
“I don’t believe you shouldn’t be allowed to go and watch a game. If he knew where he was going to be sitting then he wouldn’t have gone.
“I requested a ticket through the SFA for the match and I was surrounded by Celtic fans. It was hard to get tickets for he game and Motherwell handed some back so the majority of the seats were filled by Celtic fans.”
Most angry fans want to see O’Halloran forced through the remaining two years of his contract with various punishments included, not many are able to be repeated.
Despite his almost disappearing act at Ibrox it seems incredible that he decided to go to Hampden while most of his team-mates are enjoying the sunshine and sand of Dubai.
Pedro Caixinha had his misfits in at Murray Park for 6am starts with O’Halloran’s name marked when he refused to turn up for a Development League fixture.
Steven Gerrard has bought into the We Are The People mentality hook, line and sinker.
Punishing O’Halloran will be as popular a move as signing Fernando Torres and Jermaine Defoe to replace Alfredo Morelos and Jason Cummings.
Three years ago O’Halloran made his own bed, this morning it will be especially uncomfortable to lie in it.
