‘Kevin Thomson is a human sleeping tablet’ ‘makes Kris Boyd sound like Einstein ffs!’ ‘an assault on the ears’ Painful listening from BT Sport

There is one serious downside to watching Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side getting battered across Europe. Kevin Thomson.

Groomed by wee Tom on ‘Rangers TV’ the former Hibs midfielder brings nothing but irritation to BT Sports’ coverage of the Champions League.

Watching the obvious discomfort of Ally McCoist and Kenny Miller squirm in the studio as another thrashing unfolds is highly enjoyable but 45 minute blasts of Thomson alongside Rob McLean is 45 minutes too much.

Speaking in three word blasts he adds nothing other than the sort of ‘boys working hard’ and ‘playing for that jersey’ analysis that you get from Barry Ferguson or Kris Boyd.

As a player Thomson lived off coming through the ranks at Hibs, while his more talented team-mate became a trophy winning legend at Celtic Thomo twice returned to Hibs, retired in 2016 at the age of 31 as his old pal was preparing for a Quadruple Treble.

Ajax visit Ibrox on Tuesday which should be the end of the former Kelty Hearts boss giving his views on BT Sport with shifts on BBC Scotland alongside the usual suspects to follow.
