‘Was that before or after you said that Van Djik was over rated?’ ‘Give it a rest ya clown’ ‘Had a shocker here Tom’ Rent-Free English is slaughtered over Celtic attack

Despite the humiliation of having to delete a tweet and seeing his bosses having to apologise in public about his crass comment on Shane Warne, Tom English still hasn’t shaken off his obsession about Celtic. 

A legendary cricketer in his fifties dies of a heart attack- focus on Celtic. Aston Villa player scored for Scotland- focus on Celtic. 

English isn’t smart or cute enough to use Twitter as his Warne tweet demonstrated. He might revel in the ‘interactions’ generated but one more step out of line and his days in the lucrative comfy armchair provided by the state broadcaster will be over. He might find the real commercial world challenging. 

Apparently the egg-chasing expert from Limerick suggested in 2018 that Celtic should sign John McGinn from Hibs. Some tweets recovered from that period show English claiming that the midfielder wouldn’t get into the Celtic side. 

Of course English does have form with judging footballers. He didn’t rate Virgil van Dijk very highly but perhaps the Dutchman was just playing for the wrong club at that time. 

While happy to delve back into the events of 2018 it seems that what happened in 2012 inside Scottish football is completely embargoed by English and his chums with BBC Scotland.
