The former Sky Sports anchor man couldn’t contain himself as he rushed to Twitter eager to boost his meagre following of just over 12,000.
Rangers, Prague and two humiliating defeats for Celtic he typed in before submitting. But very quickly the satisfaction turned to embarrassment as he reached for delete hoping that no one had screen grabbed his mistake/ignorance.
What’s up @DavidTannerTV, why delete? Could it be you’ve actually no clue about football? Or were you so desperate to rub Celtic faces in it, that you made a complete numpty of yourself pic.twitter.com/ITo1ROJS1w

The team facing Steven Gerrard’s side in the last 16 of the Europa League are Slavia Prague who have as much in common with the side that beat Celtic as Manchester City have with Manchester United. They may share a location but that is all.
Slavia are the runaway leaders of the Czech League, eight points and 27 goals better off than Sparta. Last night Slavia visited Leicester where they won 2-0 to book their place in the last 16, the side that beat Celtic in the autumn failed to reach the knock-out stage.
These days Tanner is the face of Hibs TV and called on now and then by TalkSPORT to share his expert views on Scottish football.
Someone who couldn’t wait to put the boot intae Celtic.
