Roger Mitchell has launched the sort of attack on Leigh Griffiths that even the Daily Record would think twice about before publishing.
The former SPL chief executive appears to be launching a career as an online shock-jock as he trolls for attention from his base in Italy.
During his time in charge of the SPL Mitchell didn’t notice that the record breaking transfer fee for Tore Andre Flo wasn’t matched by a record breaking contract registered by the old Rangers club.
While Celtic matched the top wages being paid in England to sign Neil Lennon and Chris Sutton the old club from Ibrox told the SPL that they were paying Flo and Ronald de Boer half those rates.
As the Supreme Court established in July 2017 Dave Murray was topping up his stars wages through disguised remuneration schemes with millions piled into offshore trusts.
If he’s serious then I wish him well. Have to say though that I’ve seen a fair bit of life in more diversity than most. My take away is leopards don’t change their spots. Last comment. MacLeish took a lot of crap when yer man “snubbed” him. I think Eck is due a lot of apologies.

So siring 5 children from 3
different women and a betting /boozing culture isn’t the worst type of classic laddish boor? Miss anything? At some point people need to take responsibilities for their actions in life. It isn’t always the fault of something else. It’s just you, dude.— Roger Mitchell (@RPMComo) December 13, 2018
For pour souls never given a chance in life and beaten down by it every day yes. He is not one. For lucky boys with outlier talent, and earning over £1m a year then, em, no.

I like you so I’ll answer. Mental health can be argued to now be a get out of jail free card in some cases for what is despicable behavior. You are your actions, and you are the company you keep. That’s not an IQ thing. It just right and wrong. Loyalty to your woman. 1)

2) I know this isn’t the smart line to take today. The diplomatic group think is to be empathetic. I come across as harsh. And tbh, I never liked all that blowing his nose at Ibrox stuff either. For me, he is not The Right Stuff. Others are free to make the excuses as to why not.

Sadly yes. I do know. As the magnificent George Galloway said on celebrity big brother “poor me, poor me, pour me another”.

Ok. You seem reasonable. And your club carries his name. He’s my view. People tell me on DM he is and I quote “thick, has a family of NEDs, and it’s not his fault”. If it was just that I’d hold fire. What I absolutely won’t condone is shagging around behind your woman’s back. 1)

Mitchell seems keen to delve into gossip when it suits his purposes, he also claims to be a Celtic fan to add legitimacy to his views.
As Griffiths begins treatment for his issues the Italian-based former SPL chief is giving credibility to the lowest of the low as they launch vile attacks on Griffiths, online and in the streets of Vienna as they come to terms with football outwith the reach of the SFA and SPL/SPFL.
Mitchell leads the purest of lifestyles with his contribution to Scottish football felt to this day as his successors try desperately to re-establish the Old Firm rivalry despite one of it’s key elements lying in the morgue known as Liquidation.
