Only Hugh Keevins can rival Tom English when it comes to getting things completely wrong.
Funnily enough both men revel in the prospect of misfortune for Celtic. Minestrone or Chicken Noodle?
For over a decade both men tend to lose it completely as they speculate over problems for Scotland’s most successful club.
That is matched up by being on board any bandwagon heading out of Ibrox.
IBROX CHEERLEADERS
From Craig Whyte to Andrew Cavenagh and Perdo Caixinha to Micky Beale the hope burns brightly that the O** F*** rivalry can be recreated.
Many suggest that it is the hope that kills them.
Celtic’s troubles this season has given English hope that the cracked crests can resurface.
Supporters have genuine concerns, they have articulated them. Peter Lawwell melted at the AGM, he knows genuine opposition and doesn’t want it to be given a platform.
MARTIN O’NEILL
The resignation of Brendan Rodgers gave English a flutter of hope. How could a 73-year-old on the media circuit halt the self destruction of the hoops?
Across the city they had just appointed a coaching hipster half O’Neill’s age.
The League Cup semi-final was a massive disappointment for English. Known affectionately as House Paddy by his BBC colleagues, the Chief Football Writer was distraught.
English led the protests over the attempted beheading of Jack Butland. He wanted the match replayed with Nick Walsh no where near a whistle.
Four days later Midtjylland gave English the opportunity he had been waiting for. He didn’t hold back.
Any updates on this from the West Brit? Nooooo. pic.twitter.com/Ui07wvv18a

Reflections on the win over Feyenoord are thin on the ground with the BBC.
An excitable Liam McLeod was trashed by O’Neill at the pre-match media conference.
There is barely a reference to the Scottish coefficient.
With the egg-chasing season getting underway English can focus on something else that he is clueless about.
Fortunately no-one in Scotland is bothered about rugby which allows the Limerick Loser to come over as some sort of authority on the sport.
He blocked me years ago.

Everytime Tom’s name comes up I’m going to remind people why he is working in Scotland
He fabricated stories about the Irish rugby team,got slapped around a pub by Ireland’s coach,demanded an apology or said he was going to the law but was told to fuck off,which he did,to Alba

Straight on twitter when Celtic lose, deafly quiet when they win, especially against a team like Feyenord. His whole narrative/agenda went out the window! Same as Keevins! Most pundits want Scottish teams to do well in Europe, except when it’s Celtic!

Tom has more faces than the Town Hall clock. Probably an indication of the quality of Scottish journalists that he holds down this job!

BBC sport Scotland should be renamed sevco sport Scotland, as for English? We’ll stick to pish talking MON won a lot of honours especially the European cup so why would he listen to anything or any comments from that stooge.
English by name, rubbish by nature. He’s another shameless brass necked muppet. If Keevins and Quisling had a love-child it would be Uncle Tom the souper.
When a “journalist” becomes the story, they’re done – because they’ve lost all credibility.
…except in the Scottish MSM.
Both Keevins & English’s opinions are quite simply skewed by their dislike of anything Celtic.
Every utterance is basically what they wish to see happen and not actually based on any analytical view.
Keevins is without doubt the bitterest pundit out there and has never really got over getting booted out of the pub by King Kenny.
Says everything about the character, and I use that word in the loosest possible terms, of the man when decades later he still can’t comment subjectively without the hatred getting in the way.
Crazy thing is, he genuinely doesn’t seem bothered that week in week out he makes himself look a total prick with his “predictions”.
I long stopped listening to the SuperSashBash just because that snidey wee cockwomble is on it.
And as for that nasally voice of his…..
On paper the Mittyjlland result looks like a blessing in disguise. A springboard for the other six victories under Martin O’Neill!
It shows that Martin has still got it and obviously pays no attention to those two losers whatsoever!
