It’s not difficult to detect the glee from BBC Scotland at the prospect of Celtic missing out on reaching the group phase of the Champions League.
Success for Celtic helps commercial media groups through greater interest but the state broadcaster doesn’t have that concern.
With experts like Alex Rae (EBT), Kris Boyd (EBT), Steven Thompson (EBT) and Billy Dodds (EBT) on speed dial for their expert opinion they struggle to cover up where their allegiances are.
Every Revolution from Ibrox has been given the big billing as they carefully avoid a repeat of Mark Daly’s investigation of Craig Whyte on the current ownership of the company.
The clear message behind this is. ‘We want you to fail’. Scotland’s broadcasting station tweeting with subdued glee over last nights draw. In times like this you never forget who your friends are! https://t.co/8v1MHhDfY4

Spot on Matt and while we all know their ongoing agenda now and in the past it reflects the horrible complicit establishment cabal in Scotland. Also SMSM know “f” all of what goes on at Celtic; important that we don’t allow them to divide us

Can you please tell me how you can read, from that one paragraph, that the BBC want Celtic to ‘fail.’

Rather than look at the bigger picture, we are halfway through the tie & their giving it the big negative with this ‘hairline cracks beginning to appear’ ‘Celtic’s dominance beginning to fracture’. We’re carrying the country’s flag in difficult times.

We’re still the strongest in the land by a mile. Although lack of business in this window has been a little disheartening.

It’s just rubbish journalism pure and simple. Why is this result any different than in recent times to indicate any potential demise? I suggest it’s wishful thinking from the media and we all know why that is.

They (msm) have had a difficult last 7 years Matt ..don’t take their wee high point away from them .

Don’t why anyone is surprised by this. Red card rescinded yesterday’s against the actual rules shows how much authorities and the media want them back. Desperate stuff and our board are allowing the team to weaken season on season. Playing into their hands

Media will have loved last night result and that BBC thread proves it. Our defence is a problem but the rest of the park think we are quality. Celtic can still get s result in Athens ????????

There are real issues at Celtic but yesterday they didn’t rush through the sale of last season’s leading scorer to Wigan Athletic.
Celtic fans will analyse the issues at the club, read and watch the interviews behind the headlines and make up their own minds.
The next seven days promises a festival of faux concern by the state broadcaster, Celtic supporters won’t be taking a lead from BBC Scotland or any other vested interest.
