Soccer Football - Scottish Premiership - Celtic v Rangers - Celtic Park, Glasgow, Scotland, Britain - September 3, 2022 Rangers' James Tavernier reacts Action Images via Reuters/Carl Recine
Alan Pattullo of the Scotsman seemed in a state of utter despair as he shared his thoughts on Celtic’s 4-0 Derby Day Demolition.
That phrase may not suit the ailing Edinburgh based broadsheet that has watched print circulation figures dip below 10,000 despite the pretence of being a national newspaper.
With sales and advertising revenue crashing through the floor their old school reporters are trying to get with it on social media. Exerting the personality behind those bland by-line pictures which can often be a decade or more out of date.
Colleague Andrew Smith was barely able to get a word in but misery was painted all over Pattullo’s face as he put on his best Rev IM Jolly face to address the nation. It seemed like a throwback to Dick Donnelly giving his verdict on an other drab, dreich draw at Dens Park to Radio Clyde listeners.

Highlighting his own lack of understanding Pattullo had a particularly miserable view of Joe Hart’s performance. Far from being saved by the whistle of Nick Walsh the referee applied the laws of the game as the Canadian star intercepted a goal kick inside the 18 yard box. It seems that Arfield is as clueless as the reporter from The Scotsman.
CLICK HERE for the Celtic player ratings (Hart 6, Juranovic 6, Cater-Vickers 6, Taylor 6, McGregor 7, O’Riley 8, Hatate 7, Jota 8, Giakoumakis 6, Abada 9)

Where is the compliance officer? After the assault by goldson on Maeda. It’s a full face elbow assault. The guy went on the take the same player down fom behinfd, with the ref holding a yellow cardbefore he went down. Goldson is a total sh1t, he has NO class. The stench from ipox is standard, no excuses. And then there is Arsefield, what a total kn0b, and his cohort mates claiming it’s a legal move. What a shower of tossers, every one of them. Away and bile yer heids, ya muppets. I started the rant with a question….
Where is the feckin compliance officer?
