There will be no pre-match media conference from Giovanni van Bronckhorst today.
Tuesday’s defeat from Union SG and some mildly critical coverage of the performance and of the manager has pushed the Communications Director into not communicating.
Last Friday BBC Scotland and others were back in the fold to ask banal questions, today the club will release an in-house video interview with van Bronckhorst with the usual media outlets expected to apply favourable spin.
Part of BBC Scotland’s contract with the SPFL entitles them to pre and post match interviews with all managers, at this moment it seems highly unlikely that Kenny Macintyre will be firing the big questions ahead of the match with Kilmarnock.
Yesterday new signing Ridman Yilvaz was available for interview through a Turkish interpreter.
