David Tanner had a lot of anger to release when he took to Twitter late on Wednesday night.

Scotland’s win over Spain should have given him a welcome distraction from the pain of the SPFL Premiership table but seeing Kieran Tierney and Callum McGregor bossing it at Hampden probably created distressing flashbacks.

Since being mutually consented by Sky Sports in the summer of 2017 Tanner’s career has been on the slide. Instead of sharing banter with the glamorous team at Sky Sports News he has teamed up with Scott Gardiner and Tam Cowan to go on the Bowling Club circuit covering Ayrshire, Lanarkshire and the darkest holes of Lothian and Fife.

An article in Glasgow Live! prompted last night’s rant, justifying every one of the seven penalties awarded against Celtic since VAR was introduced in mid-October, highlighting the presence of 50,000 or 60,000 fans plus media pressure.

Strangely this only applies to one Glasgow club.

So far this season 33.3% of the goals that Celtic have lost in the SPFL Premiership have come from the penalty spot, across the city 0% of the goals conceded by The Ibrox Tribute Act has come from penalties.

That is one FACT! That Tanner won’t go near, must like the FACT! That it is over 14 months since a penalty was awarded against the Tribute Act in the SPFL Premiership.

Tanner joined Twitter in July 2017 and has built up 13,100 followers, Chris Sutton has 305,400 Twitter followers.
