You can only guess at the pain and suffering inside BBC Scotland this morning.
After the excitement of Celtic dropping points to Motherwell the last thing that the state broadcaster needed was a defeat from Aberdeen opening up a Coronation title party for the hoops.
Kenny Macintyre, Tom English, Jane Lewis, Steven Thompson and Alasdair Lamont have been rushing in requests for annual leave, those forced into duty are looking for grief counselling.
The morning gossip column on BBC Scotland’s website is notorious for it’s stream of good news from Ibrox, complimenting the doom for Celtic.
Celtic picked up a cheque for £20m from Lyon in August 2018, that is £20m more than the combined transfer fees for Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent, Scot Arfield, Ryan Jack, Filip Helander, Steve Davis and Allan McGregor. Football Scotland is the digital face of the Daily Record, sharing the same ethos and target market as the fast fading Glasgow publisher.
Getting a fee of Dembele Dollars has haunted Ibrox for years, apart from the freaky business last summer for Calvin Bassey and Joe Aribo the cupboard has been bare at Ibrox, Ross Wilson took his player trading model with him to Nottingham Forest.
A succession of feel good stories for their core market can be expected this week as the state broadcaster tries to move on swiftly from yesterday’s nightmare at Pittodrie.
The McCrorie windfall might be Kemar Roofe’s monthly wage.
