Anyone But Celtic- Martin O’Neill hits back at bleating Scottish media

Martin O’Neill has fired back spectacularly at the Scottish media and their new favourite club.

With Danny Rohl imploding in the post-split fixtures allegiances quickly switched to the Gorgie cousins led by the forever dignified figure of Derek McInnes.

Celtic’s late penalty at Motherwell last week triggered an incredible reaction.

Kris Boyd led the way from Tynecastle with Sky Sports applying to checks or corrections on his ridiculous claims.

BBC Scotland were quickly on the case as they shared the despair of Tom English, Kenny Macintyre, Ryan Stevenson and Andy Halliday.

The build up to Saturday’s title decider was incredible. Most legacy media outlets were all-in on a Jambo title party.

Since McInnes raced down the tunnel and onto the team bus the reaction to Celtic’s success has been furious. Rancid, bitter, toxic.

MARTIN O’NEILL FIRES BACK AT THE CELTIC PILE ON

Celtic’s favoured media partners have been in unison. Tainted is one of the mildest descriptions used for the latest title won by Scotland’s most successful club.

O’Neill took Zombie duo Jim White and Simon Jordan to task on Monday live on TalkSPORT.

This afternoon the Celtic boss came out swinging as he called out the ABC Scottish media. Anyone But Celtic.

Asked if Celtic’s achievements had been dismissed across Scotland, O’Neill didn’t hold back

There’s no question it’s been lost.

Outside our supporters, outside us, outside the diaspora, everybody wanted Hearts to win. So there was just this… what shall I say… just an incredible anti-feeling about us winning it and so that didn’t become the story.

The story became the fans coming onto the pitch to celebrate as if it’s never happened before and yeah and just downright skulduggery on our part to actually take the win away from Hearts.

So Hearts have been brilliant all season and let’s remind ourselves about that there but we won it and sometimes I have to remind myself that we did do it.

With Michael Nicholson hiding behind a spreadsheet O’Neill is the only voice inside Celtic.

Brian Unity Wilson hasn’t delivered a Supporters Update since the devastation of the Labour Party’s humiliation at the election to the Scottish Parliament.

On and off the park O’Neill has been the only person at Celtic justifying their salary and position.

Chris McKay and Mark Hargreaves turn up with Nicholson and Wilson at away matches. Other than that they remain on mute, contributing nothing, taking plenty.
