Without offering any supporting evidence Chris McLaughlin was happy to pass on the baseless Ibrox statement issued to their media partners at The Herald.Â
Rather than check the claims out the chief sports reporter at BBC Scotland simply passed on the Ibrox claims to his 50,000 plus Twitter followers.Â
Not so strangely McLaughlin hasn’t had a story on the claims published on the BBC Scotland website (correct at 8pm).Â
In February the real BBC in England were forced to apologise to Celtic over a crass tweet from Tom English following the sudden death of Shane Warne.Â
It seems that the state funded payroll at BBC Scotland is more interested in claiming attention on social media than doing their job, researching stories and presenting facts.Â
BBC Scotland has not directly covered a pre-match or post-match Ibrox media conference since 2015 despite being rights holders to SPFL football.Â
Ange Postecoglou was interviewed before and after today’s match by Ibrox fanatic Kenny Macintyre.Â

The blue crayons are out again unless its members of the Celtic back room staff that are bottled or glass thrown onto the pitch from the Rang*rs end.

Do some research @BBCchrismclaug videos all over social media of rangers fans charging and throwing glass bottles, you’re making out one club as victims and the other as perpetrators here when there’s enough evidence to say otherwise

Anyone throwing bottles should be banned but lets not kid ourselves that they where innocent. Only video evidence I have seen is them throwing stuff at us https://t.co/s9sCMwzwL2

Billy Boys heard loud and clear. Is that not a banned song, Chris?

Should have been in the away end at Ibrox,folk injured at work,glass on the field media silence since.go further back in recent times a Celtic captain attacked on the field at ibrox,players pelted with batteries. We won’t take any lectures from TRFC until they sort their own out.
