It is hard to tell whether Ewan Murray is obsessed with Celtic or simply sensitive over any praise or honours heading towards the hoops.Â
The Guardian’s golf reporter knows his way around the bunkers and rough but as a Hearts fan his attention is often drawn to Scottish football and the procession of trophies towards the east end of Glasgow.Â
It seems that the nominations from footballers for their Player of the Year hasn’t met with Murray’s approval. What would the guys out on the pitch every week know about the game or the ability of their opponents?
Tom Rogic in the league this season: eight 90 minutes, six goals and six of these assist things. Top four for player of the year. Bizarre stuff.

With five substitutes available Ange Postecoglou makes full use of that option with his attack-minded players far more likely to be replaced than defenders.Â
Players of Rogic’s ability are very rare. His ball control is flawless while his ability to find the net or deliver assists is a skill that can’t be coached into a player.Â
The Australian keeps a low profile away from football, perhaps Murray should do the same away from the fairways.Â
Prices here are crazy. But the rest of Scottish football should clearly just let Celtic – who didn’t let a single away supporter in despite c20,000 empty seats for two cup ties earlier this season – dictate visiting contingents from now on. https://t.co/WTkRCMK5nS

He should have followed the lead of the Celtic chairman and cast aspersions on a referee before the game. Untouchable if you do that, seemingly. https://t.co/x4EEQJBZ02

There’s a reason you cover golf

Rogic generally wins games in 60 minutes, or comes on to win games when they are not going Celtic’s way, he doesn’t have to play 90 minutes or score every game to make an impact. That said lots of other candidates CCV at Celtic among them, A few Hearts players forbye Gordon too.

If his team get pumped in the final 5-0
This doughball will be on Twitter congratulating them .
You know why ?
Because he’s a diet hun w*nker
Bawbag Murray it’s good to know Celtic live inside his head.He would be creaming his pants should sevco defeat Hearts 5 nil,like a wee guy seeing his first scud book.
He once had an apoplectic fit after seeing a spectator in the Hoops at a U.S. Open.
Spoiled the tournament for him to the extent that he felt compelled to have a rant about it in his column.
A chip on both shoulders this hun mini, and is totally obsessed with Celtic.
