Three weeks after the shocking scenes that marred Celtic’s Scottish Cup win at Ibrox David Tanner was back on the reporters beat at Hampden.
Not with Sky Sports or any accredited broadcasters but providing updates for TalkSPORT on a match that that radio station had no interest in.
Tanner has found himself back in the spotlight but not for the reasons that he craves.
In 2017 Sky Sports decided not to renew his contract. No more chummy studio banter with Charlie Nicholas and Neil McCann.
For many that situation would be the chance to kick on in his career.
Call in some contacts and favours, take his career to new levels.
ALL DOWNHILL FOR TALENTLESS TANNER
Not for Tanner. He found doors constantly slamming in his face. Not even his long standing auto-cue was prepared to put in a good word for the pint sized presenter.
Hibs TV in the Covid season was about as good as it gets. Some podcasts around Hibs and Hearts died a death.
It has taken a while but in the digital age there is no market for a fifty-something has been with no personality, ability or personal following.
Hey @DavidTannerTV I’m just wondering why you felt the need to express your discontent with Celtic fans blessing themselves? Could you elaborate on your feelings towards that please??

At Ibrox Tanner had the chance to shine as the Union Bears provided TalkSPORT with the sort of Scottish football content that they are interested in.
Tanner could have described attacks on Police Officers, Stewards and club staff.
Instead wee Davie blew it.
He went into a rage over a Celtic fan blessing himself.
EPL viewers witness it multiple times in every match. Goalscorers and substitutes do it regularly. No one cries foul.
Tanner screamed with rage as he witnessed that Celtic fan at Ibrox.
The TalkSPORT presenters in London never picked him up on it. Big deal, who cares.
Every day Tanner is asked on X/Twitter to follow up on his outrage over the Celtic fan at Ibrox.
It seems that wee Davie is too busy developing his career as the Scottish Mr Blobby while his newest podcast Toe Poke has picked up 75 subscribers after four blockbuster episodes.
Another One from Paul perfectly picks up on Tanner. Some say that he never quite recovered from being turned down by Hello! and OK magazines when they were offered exclusive rights to his wedding in 2005.
If you see him out and about at the game… ask him the question… ?? pic.twitter.com/alcmGzLbAt

Not really heard of this guy to be honest…
Clearly anti Catholic though !
Waiting for the Second Helping
Tanner pick’n’mixed his knickerbocker glory to influence listeners, it didn’t cut the rhubarb and custard with us. He hazelnut toad in a hole account of the truffle caused by the hun-gry hot cross buns and how they marzipan towards the Tim of celebrations with kicks and scones, pudding the party of peaceful flans, stewed-tarts and constabulary of pâtisse-unwary at whisk. The thinly orranged marshmallow line who were in a sticky situation trifling to lollipop masked spotted dicks, hitting the numbskulls with batten-burgs. The dumplings got their just desserts and the trubble-gum muffin the mules of little big-huns had to sweet-treat back to the Custard Arsed Stand. The fruitcakes whipped cream were beaten fare and apple square 4-2 after pineapple pastries. It was the icing on the cake, that’s the way the cookie crumbles, we’re batter than all the rest, not a waffle peepul know that!
We’ve all made cupcakes in this world, Tanner should gateau confection on his toblerone in his best Sundae scoop to a candy apple. Donut be afraid why thou mousse Nutella sweet tooths, look up to the deep-fried Mars Bars for sweet Cheeses cake and ask why cherry time you’ve jellybean to Ibrox yet you maketh no mention of the lemon curds singing angel delight at songs of praise about the famine song, am I right or am I meringue? You don’t have a curly wurley of criticism. Wouldn’t it be white mice for layer cake as well as ours not to blame the treacle of Choco-holics a-mass-ed in the roly-poly area who were in good syrups, was it just a coin-incidence to mention those su-cross-ed supporters that would feed the goad almighty half-baked idea of wafer we incited the violence, the zombies were totally responsible for the violence.
Sevco are about to get their fingers burnt, the Delaware peaches and cream have a cookbook with a borrowed recipe for disaster. The Sevco bakers dozen fresh out of the 2012 oven have been on a diet with only 3 crumbs of comfort, will they be “Ready” to eat humble pie? After the warmly welcomed consortium take a nice big slice of apple pie at the fakery, it will be a bit rich for the rolling in dough to sponge off of the deluded. The oven gloves are about to come off when succulent lambs are lead to the slaughter, USA USA USA!
