After the arrival of A Proper Football Manager at Ibrox in October there was clearly an extra edge to the pronouncements from Hugh Keevins.

More than a decade of Celtic dominance had taken its toll on the veteran reporter who preferred the cosy circuit of trophies generally being shared out.

Five Celtic trebles over seven seasons had ruined the script where the O** F*** were generally on level terms and you could serve up the same content season after season.

Through the winter months there was always the consequences of Celtic losing their next match, culminating in his March 3 masterpiece predicting that the Irishman would be a goner before the 24/25 season kicked off.

As he enjoys a sunshine holiday in his Mallorcan home Rodgers can plan confidently ahead for next season with a record of nine trophies out of 10. Over two stints he has lost only once in the Glasgow Derby, in December 2018 when John Beaton gave an incredible performance before celebrating with the bears at the Crown Bar.

After acknowledging that there might be limitations to A Proper Football Manager, today Keevins returns to a favoured theme- Rodgers failing at Celtic.

After some fishing tales he has a message that should warm the near broken hearts of Record readers:

If Celtic, resident in the pool with the best fish only manage to pull out tiddlers then the water might suddenly be up at their necks. Brendan Rodgers guided them to safety when there was a danger of going under at one point last season but he wants to be better placed to direct the flow of the tide from now on. Sink or swim time. And no lifebuoys.

Having outsmarted and seen off Mark Warburton, Pedro Caixinha, Steven Gerrard and Micky Beale only a complete fool would tip Rodgers to be outsmarted by a 50-year-old who is trying to outsmart Todd Cantwell on the stupidity stakes on social media. Caretaker Graeme Murty resigned in tears a broken man after a 5-0 defeat at Celtic Park clinched another SPFL title for the hoops.

    Imagine working in some dingy office full of Celtic haters For decades. Probably earning peanuts.as a patsy for some bigoted editor.

    Thats his entire life’s work.

    Back in the nineties I told him ..

    You are nothing but a weak Fenian Bastard
    He threatens me with a lawyer
    I told him he couldn’t afford one.

    How can such a dreadful piece of writing actually be published in a newspaper? It reads like a parody of tabloid journalism. Maybe he’s losing his marbles but that’s truly risible.

  • Kevin Dunne says:

    Keevins is nothing more a prize clown ,what he knows about football is what your average 10 year old knows , just another sad depressed sevconian full toilet waste . Brendan has had them in his pocket in two terms only one loss in 17 Glasgow derby

  • Clachnacuddin and the Hoops says:

    Imagine just how fuckin desperate he must be when he’s trying to integrate himself into The Sevco Huns ‘community’ on such an industrial scale so often as reported on here…

    And yet they still detest him as much as we do as well –

    Bloody Hell – That’s some achievement by him…

    Uniting The Sevco Huns and Celtic Supporters 100% plus in their mocking and hatred of him…

    Very apt that the one in the picture with him is the same…

    A Hibernian supporter (He told me that in hospitality at Parkhead)…

    But at least around 50% of them have Swallow Swallowed the pish he spouts out inchorently –

    Unlike Keevins who they all hate like we all do !!!

  • Bob (original) says:

    Keevins should be appreciated for what he really is, [not a journalist.]

    As a dinosaur of the SMSM, sports coverage Keevins has stubbornly refused

    to adapt to the internet age.

    Pre-internet Keevins could flip flop on his ‘opinion pieces’ in The DR on a

    monthly or even weekly basis. The newspapers were typically binned before his next

    scribbled effort

    Whilst we can now immediately reference his p!sh, contradictory output,

    Keevins has simply refused – or been unable – to change.

    Keevins is a curio from a bygone age: a source of amusement. 🙂
