Even by his own pathetic standards snivelling Kenny Macintyre hit new lows yesterday when he interviewed Graeme Souness for Radio Scotland.
Give him the hint of trouble at Celtic, Hibs or Aberdeen and the Sportsound anchor-man is all over, jumping in with the tackity boots, asking the big questions that the fans need answered.
Put him in the company of one of his Ibrox heroes and he becomes a doe-eyed puppy, barely able to string a sentence together let alone ask a worthwhile question. Making those classic Jim White interviews with Brian Laudrup seem Paxman-like.
Spending time with Barry Ferguson, Kris Boyd or Alex Rae and the range in questions go from ‘there must have been a right few characters in that dressing room, eh?’ through to ‘I bet you lads had a few right good nights out’.
Rangers are my team, never hidden that. Be strange to have someone working on Sportsound that didn’t support a team.
As for Kris Boyd. I know at times he is a wind up merchant, but he talks up our game. Would he be in the Sky studio tonight if he wasn’t such a big personality?

Since the Ibrox club realised that van Bronckhorst won’t wave off £4.5m by resigning there has been a dedicated media campaign to shift the narrative around the lame Dutchman.
The injury record is being highlighted at every turn with the suggestion being that John Souttar, Filip Helander and Ben Davies are poised to be fighting fit on December 15, putting together a run of victories just like Celtic did a year ago.
Kenny Mac will subscribe to that theory but not many of his fellow bears will fall in line.
Blaming transfer business on Ross Wilson is popular despite van Bronckhorst repeating that the arribvals are his signings while reminders have been sent out that last season’s title loss was down to a Celtic conspiracy that saw the winter break moved forward.
Souness put forward two bizarre theories yesterday, overwhelmed by the presence of the great man Macintyre could only nod and slabber in agreement.
Apparently VAR has benefitted Celtic which is a theory from the darkest corners of Ibrox social media while there are three O** F*** matches to be played, winning them and the nine point gap is instantly wiped out.
With four penalties awarded against Celtic in five VAR fixtures fearless Kenny Mac wasn’t going to ask his hero for examples of Ange Postecoglou’s side getting the rub of the green, with three losses and a draw from four SPFL matches against Celtic racking up three wins in the derby fixture would be quite a turnaround.
Souness appears to have watched the Tribute Act once this season, during an eight goal Champions League thriller on their way to a place in the record books.
Kenny Mac will continue setting the agenda with the big name sit downs throughout the World Cup break.
‘There are still three Old Firm games left. Win those and it’s a different picture’
Former Rangers manager Graeme Souness has urged the club’s fans to be patient with boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst – and says the title race is not over.

Sky are binning him, he wants to remain relevant. He should retire gracefully.

a great example of modern Scottish journalism where you let the subject say anything they want without being challenged #pathetic

Why do they constantly drag out guys who managed like 30 years ago what do they know football had changed so much since his days

Wow…Kenny Mac just allowed a guy to blatantly lie about Celtic & Var awards.
BBC SEVCO Scotland at it again.
This show needs sorting out.
One Big Hun fest.— ThePort (@PortBhoy11) November 19, 2022
That was the biggest load of pish interview with a guy who had a life of luxury because of the quality players he had the luck to share a football field with.He was a thug who but for luck would have played junior at best

Someone’s told Graeme that Celtic have had dodgy VAR decisions, haven’t they?
— GiorgioMartone (@RogerMellie1888) November 19, 2022
So they can’t beat St Mirren, Livingston and St Johnstone but they’re going to beat Celtic three games in a row? Sober up, Souness.

Him and Heevins to smelly auld Jeremy Hunts in the same nursing home sitting there in their tenna ladies vigiilanties stinking a pish and talking.
Sourness talks pish and bollocks. Who’d a thunk it?
Good auld Sounessaurus .
His idea of football is extinct and his theories went out with the big bang
