It is fair to say that Gerry McCulloch isn’t having the best of weeks.

On Saturday he jumped to the defence of his media friends when the British Broadcasting Corporation opted to continue live coverage from Denmark as medics fought to save the life of Christian Eriksen. Gerry failed to read the room.

Strengthening his media links the face of Celtic TV decided to watch the Scotland v Czech Republic match from a BBC Scotland studio rather than at home with friends or family.

As everyone knows being involved with in-house media requires a Masters Degree in Diplomacy, criticism from within isn’t welcome no matter how justified.

McCulloch and the team at Celtic TV have had to negotiate their way through post match interviews following some horrendous results in the season just finished.

BBC Scotland’s decision to have Kenny McLean and Darren Fletcher cover the game with the Czech’s was always going to mute any criticism. That duo are hardly Keane and Neville.

With no sense of irony McCulloch decided to highlight how awkward McLean and Fletcher were after the match. This from the guy that brought in Gary Caldwell and Gordon Strachan to analyse Celtic defeats!
