TalkSPORT’s Scottish football expert decided to blank Celtic’s SPFL title party.
David Tanner had been excitedly tweeting his way through the campaign, in March he claimed that only ‘Rangers could bet Rangers’.
With the SPFL trophy along the M8 at Celtic Park, on Saturday Tanner opted to go to Tynecastle to see Phil Clement’s side finish the season eight points behind the Champions.
TalkSPORT listeners won’t get to hear Tanner’s deep and insightful questioning, instead they will have to make do with clips taken from Sky Sports of Brendan Rodgers and his triumphant squad.

It seems that a water break and meeting the assistant manager of Raith Rovers in a pub were the highlights of Tanner’s day which probably showcases the plight of his career from Sky Sports to TalkSPORT via season presenting Hibs TV after losing out, again, to Emma Dodds on his dream job.
No mention was made of Celtic’s title win over the weekend, Tanner did get some consolation at the Scottish Football Writers Awards last night which honoured Derek McInnes and Lawrence Shankland while Rodgers and Matt O’Riley drowned their sorrows.
Good to meet @RaithRovers coach Colin Cameron at Tynecastle yesterday.
Colin was still buzzing after the pen shoot-out win that means Rovers could be just 180 minutes away from promotion to the SPFL Premiership.
He & manager Ian Murray have done an extraordinary job this season. pic.twitter.com/DBS0jxmWgY— David Tanner (@DavidTannerTV) May 19, 2024
Well done Lawrence Shankland for deservedly winning the @scottishfwa Player of the Year award.
I was interested to hear Manager of the Year Derek McInnes namecheck @EdinburghNapier when revealing that he considered applying to our journalism course before he made it in football! pic.twitter.com/uoFmZ1ibce— David Tanner (@DavidTannerTV) May 19, 2024
Which pundit is the biggest laughing stock in Scottish football?
MILLER His Lundstram defence will never be exceeded, will it?
BOYD Consistently off the radar, every week, great consistency

Aw poor wee Davie the Spanner lol when he bites he fuckin bites,hence the sponsored silence from him.
Follow the bouncing ball on the TV when this fud was trying read a script out,even calling him a nickel&dime twobob journalist is to good for him.
He is still reading his Janet&John books from primary school.

This is a re-hash of a wee ditty from the finest English guy I was ever close to and privileged to meet.. Brian P. RIP 2008.
He became a Celtic supporter as he didn’t have a favourite team but understood football.
He also understood me.
It was him that reguraly pointed out that Shearer was fukk all without Sutton.
We loved each other but not in the disgusting manner that some do. We were just best friends.
Ditty (original)
“Rule 2 tanners , 2 tanners make a bob,
3 make wan an’ a tanner,
And 4 make two bob!”
He clearly saw royalty and the (mostly English) ‘landed gentry’ as I did.
I miss Brian more than words can tell.
I set off to use his wee ditty as a base for taking the piss out of huns. I can’t do this just now but if any of you choose to, and it’s quality, I’d love to read it. Thanks.
