Michael Gannon of the Daily Record has delivered an incredible attack on Carl Starfelt, warning the defender to toughen up and not to lose the nut up north!
Against Ross County the Swede was subjected to a brutal attack from Jordan White, suffered a serious head knock with referee Alan Muir waving play on with blood pouring from Starfelt’s face. When the defender voiced his displeasure he was booked, within 10 minutes he had been sent off.
Rather than turn attention on White and Muir, in today’s Daily Record Gannon explains:
Speaking of the big Swede, he may have got a sore face but he’ll need to toughen up if he’s going to hack it in these parts. Losing the nut up north will only have put a bullseye on his back for Scottish strikers who now know how to get under his skin.
#celtic Worse than I first thought. Hart was brilliant again giving Star a wee boot calming him down. Massive result tonight ?????? pic.twitter.com/9QDSpe4bXq

Literally under his skin, spilling blood.
No comment is made about a referee there to apply the Laws of the Game. As Starfelt prepared to deal with a high ball he was attacked by an elbow and a boot out of place that Muir failed to spot.
Jordan White is every inch the jobsworth striker, capable of hitting 10 goals in a good season but also able to damage an opponent or two.
Challenges like the one on Wednesday night are routinely accepted in Scottish football, strikers will know that they are likely to get away with it when Muir is in charge.
Why should Starfelt risk his health and career in Scottish football where ignoring the Laws of the Game is greeted with a warning that he should toughen up.
Will Gannon be warning David Turnbull that he needs to toughen up in these parts or he’ll suffer more sore legs delivered by players like Calum Butcher of Dundee United.
Hence why no right thinking celt should buy the record I’ve not for years or any British rag.
I don’t even use them as toilet paper. Turns yer bum orange even though they’re printed in black and white. Go figure!…..
Never ever buy that rag
Celtic FC should ban them once and for all.
I hope players wishing to play in Scottish football and sponsors wishing to sponsor Scottish football and investors wishing to invest in Scottish football… DON’T read hear or watch how Scottish football is being SOLD by some people.
Does Gannon want Starfelt to behave like Morelos,sly digs,trips,kicks,diving and play acting or doesn’t he like a guy trying to play football in a fair manner? Gannon obviously prefers Greig instead of Jinky….
The fact that we are not surprised by this nonsense is the bigger scandal. Scottish media scotlands shame.
No wonder I don’t buy that rag if that happened to sawdust heid Gannon in the street would he not call police, and say I will need to toughen up what a complete fool.
Try and picture this hun knobhead’s face when Tony Bhoy headed home the winner ,,
If White did that on a public street, he would be in court on assault and GBH Charges. So why is he getting away here scot free. #scottishfafailure
It was there for everyone to see I don’t know why we never appealed at least one of his yellow cards the second was more of a highland fling the boy dived referee was appalling great result a league winning performance Anthony Ralston brought back memories of Big Billy Mc Neil …. Dig that yin oot
