With Janes Lewis almost silent on the issue Graham Spiers and Kaye Adams have hosted an hour long phone in on Radio Scotland discussing two words from Brendan Rodgers on Sunday.
Following Celtic’s dramatic late win on Sunday the ‘Motherwell fan’ was clearly upset, especially after misquoting Rodgers in her mangled pre-match interview with the hoops boss.
While Rodgers discussed the match in general Lewis only wanted to focus on Celtic’s poor first half performance which produced an ‘As It Stands’ league table with Celtic five points behind in second place.
F me @kayeadams is having a phone in about Brendan’s Rodgers. As stated by Chris McLaughin the person most affected by it isn’t bothered about it and the Club have already reached out to her anyway. But here’s Kay wanting a 1 hour long phone in about it. Pathetic.

When Rodgers mentioned that ‘the story has been written’ for Celtic this season it was a clear reference to the excitement led by BBC Scotland at the hoops dropping into second place in the Premiership table.
Lewis has a long back story of being uncomfortable covering success for Celtic, she knows exactly the story that BBC Scotland are forming for this season, if she is in doubt a check on the Group chat between Kenny Macintyre, Tom English, Alasdair Lamont, Kenny Miller, Neil McCann and Steven Thompson should put her right.
Seeing that the post-match interview was heading down a dead end Rodgers decided to politely wind it up with a mention of ‘Good Girl’, a phrase that Lewis repeated.
Since then all sorts of unexpected travellers have boarded the Offended Bus, with no real relevance in 2024 it is exactly the sort of topic that Adams and Spiers thrive off. Spiers described the comment as horrible! Toe curling.
With anti Irish and anti Catholic songs and chants filling the airwaves at every match from Ibrox that is one subject that the state broadcasters won’t go near let alone host an hour long phone-in about.
Brutal no one wants to talk about Jane Lewis anti celtic agenda. Brendan was wrong and should apologise for his comment. But let’s talk about the narrative he is referring to

Jane Lewis knew exactly what she was doing. She and the BBC are part of the narrative he referred to. My God it’s amazing how cocky the media get when their idols are two points clear with eleven games to go.

Scottish Feminist Network said: Brendan Rodgers was just doing his job today, by denying Jane Lewis her much sought after headline. That the go-to attitude of a Hun loving sports reporter was typical behaviour. We thought rangers fc were extinct.
Good Girl ???
