Watch BBC Scotland reporter’s laboured question to Ange Postecoglou
Kheredine Idessane has asked more than a couple of unfortunate questions in his long broadcasting career with BBC Scotland.
Being sent around the world to follow Andy Murray must be one of the easiest shifts in sport but with that jolly almost at an end he is increasingly being used for football coverage.
In October 2001, as news emerged that Craig Brown was resigning as Scotland manager Idessane decided to ask Martin O’Neill if he’d be interested in the SFA vacancy!
It was more than just Celtic’s first ever Champions League campaign that was keeping a 49-year-old in his prime in the cut and thrust of club management rather than mixing with the SFA blazers at Hampden.
Sent to Warsaw this week to cover a football match it seems that Idessane felt that his employer was perhaps short on reaction to the death last week of a 96-year-old lady.
Jenz trying not to laugh at a bored Ange is brilliant and then came Ange’s reaction to being asked his personal reflection on Lizzie ? pic.twitter.com/6NHfmpx5VM

What a weird question to ask a football manager .Theres a want with these creeps

His question seems to have been edited out of much of the coverage of the pre-match conference, there was nothing on the BBC Scotland website.
11 minutes 30 seconds
The one and only reason a BBC Scotland reporter is asking that is an attempt to drive a wedge between the supporters and our manager. They are petrified.
