Celtic’s Social Media team tried to get onside with fans by offering a signed first team shirt but ended up scoring another Own Goal.
To get the signed shirt from the diminishing list of favoured players all that a fan has to do is to get a quite on Life Insurance.
On the back of a Treble winning season those sort of attempts at ‘fan engagement’ are irritating, when the club is having its worst year this century it is something much more serious.
After chucking away 10-in-a-row, taking over 100 days to find a new manager things aren’t rosy between the club and fans. Add in more insults and abuse from Neil Lennon and it adds up to another disastrous episode in a 12 month period full of them.
It seems that the phrase ‘read the room’ is an alien concept to almost everyone on the Celtic payroll.
Last week Celtic were reported to be in advanced talks after announcing that they had failed to appoint Eddie Howe as manager.
Judging by the replies to their latest tweet the club has a massive job rebuilding their relationship with the fans with little sign that anyone on the inside understands the issues and concerns of supporters.

Can you tell me which players we’ve got so I can pick one?

Nobody will give me life insurance because of my mental health. How about you just do a simple giveaway that isn’t some blatant attempt to get us to part with our money?
