David Tanner has launched an exciting podcast series, talking to players involved in Scotland World Cup campaigns from the last century.
Awe, bless him, someone replied on Twitter.
Tanner’s career is on an incredible downward spiral.
A decade ago he was the smarmy face of Sky Sports coverage of Scottish football.
Sharing good nurtured banter with Neil McCann and Charlie Nicholas in-between reading from his auto-cue.
After Sky opted out of renewing his contract Tanner expected the offers to come flowing his way.
Sure, Today and Hello Hello! magazines rejected the opportunity to bid for his wedding pictures in 2004 but he was still a big hitter.
Maybe not an A list celebrity but certainly not on the C list. He was a popular guest at the Convention for North American Rangers Supporters Clubs. Big Derek Johnstone occasionally sent a text message to wee Davie.
He’s being asked what his problem is with celtic fans blessing themselves and has been ignoring it now for 9 days but is still posting shite on here. Does he think by staying silent we’ll just forget? He thinks because he’s in scotland he can get away with being anti catholic. https://t.co/CFGCZUUmjn

Tanner has found a regular gig as the Scottish football correspondent for TalkSPORT. As prestigious as being the Bowling correspondent for The Athletic. Not exactly cutting edge.
TANNER IN MELTDOWN OVER CELTIC CELEBRATIONS
At least the TalkSPORT gig comes with an Ibrox Press Pass and the chance to recall the distant yet glorious days of yore.
Unfortunately for a broadcasting professional Celtic’s recent Scottish Cup victory proved too much to cope with.
When the team sheet appeared without Callum McGregor and Kieran Tierney Tanner was all set for a happy and glorious afternoon.
Things didn’t quote go to plan.
Captain Disappointed sent his penalty into the Copland Stand, Super Jack kept diving the wrong way!
Before he knew it Celtic had won a semi-final place with TalkSPORT switching to a highly emotional Tanner for live reaction from Ibrox.
With a trembling lip he described how the Celtic fans were on the pitch, swinging on the crossbar Wembley 77 style.
And there was another shameful episode which deeply upset the former Sky Sports anchor man.
A Celtic fan blessed himself! While turning to face fans in the Main Stand at Ibrox, including Tanner on the media gantry.
This information was broadcast live on TalkSPORT.
Tanner is in such a state of shock that he has been unable to discuss this issue with his 14,000 X/Twitter followers.
I ate my dinner tonight, I blessed myself after it. David, did I commit a crime?

Hi @DavidTannerTV great show as always, etc. I’d just like to make a small report to yourself that following the penalty scored by Tomáš ?van?ara at Celtic Park at the weekend, ?van?ara blessed himself. If this could be reported on in your next commentary, please. Ciao for now!

Hope Roughie doesnt talk about the time he blessed himself at Ipox when playing for the Hoops. Meltdown will be right off Richter scale with an invasion of blue headed gimps expected?

Hey David God will take care of your career mate.
Think you’re finished pal
Amen. ??
Does d.t not realise that half of his mob bless themselves every week especially their subs when they take to the park I love seeing that I wonder how many of the onion mob sing the praises of those catholics that scored for them
Editor: I think that his main issue is Celtic fans rather than what half of the Sevco players do as they enter the pitch.
It’s the act of blessing that sticks in their throats you don’t have to be a Celtic fan to bless yourself
