Hugh Keevins has responded to a claim that he is a ‘Rangers’ puppet.Â
The veteran broadcaster was on Radio Clyde’s Superscoreboard programme tonight with Gordon Dalziel when the claim was made.Â
For years Keevins was the side-kick to Derek Johnstone on the show, at the start of the 2016/17 season they both tipped Mark Warburton to storm to the SPFL title to give the Tribute Act a real trophy to go alongside the Petrofac Cup.Â
At the start of the current campaign Keevins tipped Celtic to finish behind Aberdeen in the Premiership table, doubling down in January he tipped Giovanni van Bronckhorst to go unbeaten through to the end of the season. That wishful thought was dead and buried by 10pm on February 2.Â
Covering tonight’s phone-in The Sun reports:Â
A caller, a Celtic supporter named Michael, phoned in and took issue with Keevins’ assertion that being in Europe wouldn’t be too much of a drain on Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men.Â
He said: “In my experience Hugh Keevins is a puppet for Rangers.”Â
Keevins responded: “It’s claptrap. I was born into the green half of the Glasgow but I am not green enough for Michael. I stand as the independent member for Superscoreboard. Â
In 2012 after a failed attempt at a CVA Rangers went into liquidation, the process has still to be completed.Â

Speccy auld Wanker, Nasal Whining Cunt… Best ignored!!
Think personally he is scared to say too much against ra peepul incase he gets targetted for abuse, same goes for a lot of the media and governing bodies (lol i know) , the rest are just bigots being bigots..
Ah wee Shug the mug and Quark from Deep Space 9 aka Alex Rae what a double act.
They 2 fuds make the Chuckle brothers look like a couple of professionals when it comes to being funny.
As for Keevins with his predictions on the results each week he is a bit like English opens his mouth without thinking.
The fact he said sevco will go through the rest of the season earlier this year without defeat then BOOM.
Ever since then they have dropped points he couldn’t even pick his snottery beak never mind pick out a couple results.
The problem lies with the media Snide for example cannot have a night where an ex sevco man or follower is on their programme. Keevens a long time ago made a decision never to upset the Rangers and also he fell into line with the producers of the radio show who are all Sevco followers.
He thinks he can get away with slagging Celtic as we have a board who just accept it and a support who on the whole would not wish to harm him.
Where as Sevco nuts would attack him at the drop of a hat and the Rangers board would call him out, he does not get any other media slots apart from a weelkly column in the Sunday Mail which is a pathetic excuse for a paper..
The BBC are much worse but I would need to write a full article on them.
Yes as someone who has known Keevens for nearly 50 yrs I can honestly say that he “took the soup” and is only interested in what he can make financially he is well past his sell-by date.
He works for a radio show crawling with huns and a hun newspaper
He’s not getting any younger so he’s got to tow the line and have a pop at us and praise them or he’s out on his a*se
All he seems to every week is predict Celtic are going to drop points and Rangers* are going to take care of whoever they play
Nobody phones in he is out of a job.he just needs reminding what he told andy gray.
Just me being pedantic, but this phrase does Ma heid in when it is almost universally misquoted,
‘ tow the (party) line’.
It’s ‘toe the line’ as in not being out of step with others.
Back tae Fitbaw..
Dont listen to this psh anymore. Keep it for sevco fans.
Methinks that he doth protest to much ! …………or independent ur ye ? Aye !
He used to boast his approach kept him in job that paid for two weddings and that Ally McCoist got one of his daughters a job. He knows what side his bread is buttered and why not. Smart. Any Celtic fan listening to Radio Clyde is an idiot.
Hugh has only himself to blame as you would never know his Celtic upbringing while he lavishes praise on sevco managers.you can bet if I am on ssb everyone will know exactly who I support every day of my life.cmon the hoops
