Despite the BBC having to apologise for the crass actions of their chief sports writer in Scotland, Tom English just can’t get over his obsession with Celtic.
A legendary cricketer dies in his fifties- Selik. Club from Ibrox win a European tie- Selik again.

Following the deletion of a tweet by BBC Scotland’s Chief Sports Writer on 5th March, we have published the following additional information and apology on the BBC’s Clarifications & Corrections page https://t.co/dXEahZ54ZY
