Kay Burley and Ian Blackford were in the firing line this morning as they decided to use prime time on Sky News to show their horror and outrage at a couple of banners used by Celtic fans.

With the UK going into recession, interest rates rising by the month, inflation in double digits and a cost of living crisis hammering every area of the country and economy it seemed that bashing Celtic supporters provided the duo with some comforting middle ground- four days after the event.

If they had wanted a topical issue in Scottish football they could have highlighted the booing through a minute of applause at the Scotland v Ukraine match the previous night.

Hibs, Dundee United and Everton fans had disrupted silences and applauses at the weekend but it seemed that following the script of Piers Morgan, James Whale and Simon Jordan was the easy option.

With the official mourning now completed the UK is preparing for strikes on the trains, in schools, in the NHS and a number of other industries but it seems that the Sky News presenter, who was suspended for six months for breaking Lockdown rules last year was the burning issue.
