Ally McCoist was in full paranoia mode on TalkSPORT this morning.
English viewers and listeners are used to the cheeky chappy version of the former Rangers boss.
Like almost all bears the publication of the post split SPFL fixtures struck a nerve with McCoist.
Over a decade of paranoia has left them looking for conspiracies everywhere in life.
It seems that clubs playing 19 matches at home and 19 away is too much to comprehend.
Celtic have been to Ibrox and Tynecastle twice in the opening 30 fixtures.
Now in the final five fixtures they will host their fellow title challengers.
MCCOIST- THE MASTER OF PARANOIA
With his voice hoarse from last night’s activities McCoist was in his element alongside Alan Brazil and Gabby Agbonlahor. No one listening in would have confused it for a MENSA meeting.
As is his style McCoist delivers a nasty message with a laugh and a joke.
He is as rancid as any of the fans that were on the pitch attacking police officers and stewards at Ibrox on March 8.
Two years ago on TalkSPORT he openly boasted about his intention to commit Hate Crimes at a Glasgow Derby.
Like most promises he makes McCoist quietly bottled out of that pledge.

All fans with functioning brain cells can work out how the fixtures are put together.
It isn’t perfect but after more than 20 years in use fans, clubs and managers understand how it operates.
Back in season 2007/08 the SPL went the extra mile to accommodate Rangers in their bid to win the title.
Only once has the league season finished on a Thursday night. That was because Rangers didn’t want to play Gretna ahead of a Champions League match.
The Gretna match was postponed, Lyon won 3-0 at Ibrox. McCoist missed out on his Champions League bonus.
Rather than getting matches played Rangers delayed their fixtures with the SPL pandering to their demands.
Celtic played their second last match of the season on May 11. The season ended on May 22 with the hoops lifting the title at Tannadice despite an 11 day gap between matches.
TalkSPORT has David Tanner as their Scottish football expert
McCoist really is a fucking moron, who panders to these bigots, so they forget how he fleeced their club while failing to get them through the divisions. https://t.co/aTQz89xp8D

This skip rat was taking £825.000 a year and got papped out the challenge cup by Alloa
Any news on the away “ Sevco fans “ allocation? Please God it’s 100% Celtic support , Police Scotland , and anyone with a right mind should be pushing for it
Sleekit McCoist showed his true colours with his:
“Who are these people” rant / threat back in 2012.
Many football fans’ opinion of him went straight to gutter level at that point.
His ‘cheeky chappy routine’ slipped briefly – but it showed who he really was.
Fat Sally cheeky chappy Hun bastard..what a horrible vermin rat
What a fu**in state he is in at the above picture…
That would scare ya – And make one need to spew everywhere !
