A year after he proclaimed to Daily Record readers that Ange Postecoglou was Absolutely Not Good Enough, Hugh Keevins appears not to have learned too many lessons about writing off the Australian and his team.
On day one of pre-season training last season Postecoglou told his players We Never Stop, a message and mantra that served the club well last season.
In the middle of December a side ravaged by injuries and reduced to 10 men were staring at a draw away to Ross County when Tony Ralston popped up in the seventh minute of stoppage time to head a winner and secure three points.
At the end of January and given the chance to cut the gap at the top of the table down to just two points Celtic were toiling to break down Dundee United.
Nir Bitton was sent off but in the 90th minute Liel Abada scored, Celtic took the points, went to the top of the table in midweek and never looked back.
Despite all that evidence Keevins, reporting on the game for 50 years, seems to get some sort of kick out of forecasting doom and gloom for Celtic as listeners to Super Scoreboard heard again yesterday.

41 minutes in
HK: Ross County and Celtic will end a draw
43 minutes 20 seconds:
Gordon Duncan: They are now not creating that much, all day they were creating chances, had loads of the ball but now when they really need a goal they are not creating as much any more
HK: No, na they’ve lost their way and it will finish a draw.
Soon afterwards
Gordon Duncan: Ooooooooh, we’ve got s big old goal in Dingwall…………. it is a goal for Moritz Jenz on his league debut, how is that as a way to introduce yourself to the Celtic fans. It is Ross County 1 and Celtic 2 with Jota the provider. Jenz the unlikely finisher and the three points might just be coming back down the road with Celtic.
MW: What a time to get your first goal, on your first start. I said that Welsh would be unlucky, unless Jenz does something extraordinary Welsh would find himself back in the team next week but he’s done something extraordinary- he’s nicked what looks like for Celtic the winner
Gordon Dalziel: Still fancy a draw Hugh?
HK: Told you it would be a draw.

Classic Shug. He never fails to entertain.
Just a fuckin retard.HH
You could make yourself a very rich man just by betting on the total opposite of a Flanders prediction….
Auld Spew gets it wrong AGAIN, the doddery demented duffer.
More pishful thing and total bollocks from the village idiot.
I know he gets paid to talk shite but it helps to pay for his carers.
He is the grandad of Big BENNY from Crossroads the daftie with the tea cosy looks like a sevco fan.
Who really gives a fuck what baw bag Keevins says ,?
Why is that daft auld fart still allowed on that station he should be in a nursing home.
The crap this guy talks week in week out and he is still there as I have said before with the likes of Boyd and Keevins etc these are the KLOWNS that got the gig who failed it and got told to bolt.
Hope he’s Backing OFFC to beat USG on Tuesday.
Guys a total jinx, who gets it wrong everytime.
Poisonous Bitter man who hates everything Celtic.
How can someone be in a job so long that has clearly no idea about football ???
HH
I’ve never seen a ‘ pundit ‘ so desperate for Celtic to drop points than this guy
Keevins doesn’t get much right these days, I don’t know what his problem is with Celtic but he seems to go out of his way to give a negative viewpoint, even at the risk of looking stupid, which he does on a regular basis.
I am usually very critical of HK, now I’m afraid he’s just a sad old bitter man.
The only reason people listen to HK is to hear him talking utter rubbish every week.He may have been reporting for 50 years but he talks utter rubbish.
The disappointment in his voice when we went 2 one up was a delight as for the 3rd goal going in he totally ignored it.
All the whole he has us under pressure and never scoring the a winner not a peep about the score at ibrox anfd them struggling they guys a joke.
Hugely Underwhelming Goat with Horns. Keevins is more reasons to ditch Radio Clyde!
