One influential Celtic twitter account has claimed that the club’s legal representatives have contacted TalkSPORT over content relating to the fall-out from the Glasgow derby.
Adrian Durham’s Drive show has been especially critical of Scott Brown and wondered off on some dangerous tangents.
From his base 400 miles from Glasgow the Peterborough fan appears to get most of his information from message boards and social media.
One tweet from the broadcaster mentioned that ‘Celtic are inciting hatred’.
“Celtic are inciting hatred.” ?
“Scott Brown if you’re listening, you can wind people up all you want.” ????
“Now is the time to be the positive force for Scottish football.” ???????????????????????????? @talkSPORTDrive with his second rant at #CelticFC’s Scott Brown this week ???? pic.twitter.com/8JjFynBhL7

Celtic are very reluctant to take action against any media outlet, preferring to go about their business regardless of outside influence.
Certain aspects however require protection with the audience that TalkSPORT reach demanding attention.
The London based broadcaster doesn’t have any commentary rights to domestic matches but has provided commentary on some of Celtic’s UEFA matches
@DBestseventy2 has over 24,000 twitter followers.
