It is one of the great Glasgow Derby traditions- tuning in to the commentary of Celtic goals on Rangers TV.
It will be hard for any commentary to surpass the classic Hugh Burns line of ‘Tom, what’s the goalie dain’ as Moussa Dembele lobbed the ball into the net in March 2018.
Since that clip went viral there has been a noticeable reduction in the decibel level from the commentary team as Tom Miller tries to keep things together through the despair of relaying Celtic goals to a global audience of loyal bears- in the full knowledge that Celtic fans are ready to pounce.

Dropping the volume and speaking fast seems to be the preferred coping mechanism but it couldn’t mask the hurt for Miller and Kelty boss Kevin Thompson as the third minute elation of Aaron Ramsey’s goal was overturned before half time.
