Lockdown, International Break and a managerial vacancy seems to have created the perfect storm.
Cured by an on-loan Uruguayan defender that doesn’t speak English playing an online game that reveals the arrival of the next Celtic manager!
Social Media does provide plenty of options for mischief making but after a month of predictable waves of news surrounding Roy Keane, Eddie Howe and the odd wild-card like Jesse Marsch things took a completely ridiculous turn when Diego Laxalt was thrown into the cocktail.
One video clip of the AC Milan defender has apparently given the game away that Eddie Howe is strolling into Lennoxtown to be introduced to the non-international players that he’ll be dealing with.

Who leaked the news to Laxalt and why he’d be sharing it to random strangers online seems to have escaped the scrutiny of Celtic fans desperate to be out there as the first to know who is taking over from Neil Lennon.
The wait for news looks likely to continue but it’s hard to imagine a more bizarre storyline that the Laxalt and Howe combo.
