With very few exceptions Celtic fans are very sceptical about the wisdom of pundits.
That boils down to two main categories- those that have footballing affinities elsewhere in Glasgow or those that have failed badly in management.
Alex Rae scores on both counts. A former Rangers player that flopped badly in management at St Mirren and Dundee, with both stints being in The Championship.
At Dundee he did manager 42 wins, 22 draws and 34 defeats which earned him another crack in management at St Mirren where he recorded 13 wins, 6 draws and 13 defeats.
Bang average at best but good enough to give him regular media gigs in the shallow pool of Scottish pundits.
This afternoon Radio Clyde were paying for Rae’s insight into the game with Celtic’s defeat from Bayer Leverkusen high on the agenda.
According to the former St Mirren boss Ange Postecoglou needs to drop his basketball style of attacking football. That seems as likely as Rae joining the coaching staff at Celtic Park.
Celtic fans know the flaws and risks, they are enjoying what they are seeing with the criticism of Rae likely to reinforce the idea that their new Australian boss is on the right track.

Why don’t we get the tv company who use Rae to employ someone with better dress sense , brains and a much better grasp of ANY football ?
HOOPY springs to mind ?
The same gutless mob who never gave super salary one word of criticism. It ended up biting them big style with another year in the lower tier then giving us the gift of the hat.
Alex? Have you paid back your £569k EBT yet? What a ned……
Who needs creepy clowns hiding under the bed when Rae is around.
Sack the creepy clowns i say. ?
You would think someone sat on that ugly wee man’s face when it was warm and it’s affecting his half-wit brain, what the fuck does he know about anything other than scareing the fuck out of kids the wee hun cunt.HH
Always my favourite hunny when it comes to the Lookers amongst sevco fc, now wangers Int footy klub…Even though there’s stiff competition when it comes to handsome huns, bawwy, kent, arsefield, etc etc, however Alex R was smacked with the ugly, sevco branches more than most so that would explain his behaviour!
Day day

Jees… Ah wish a wis as tall as Alex…Then I could have a complex and purpose to my life !
