‘Espanyolification is complete’ ‘Absolutely shambolic’ ‘Awkwardly mortifying’ Da dancing Clement goes viral

Phil Clement and his serial losers went viral tonight after incredible celebrations to mark their League Cup win over St Johnstone.

Just over 20,000 loyal bears turned up at Hampden to suffer through a 2-0 victory to reach the last eight of the competition alongside Spartans, Falkirk, Dundee and Aberdeen.

After losing 2-0 at home to Dinamo Kiev even some of their media cheerleaders have been questioning A Proper Football Manager with his comments as baffling as team selections and tactics.

The suggested protests from fans predictably failed to materialise with the North Stand fairly full at kick off time but the East (Celtic End) was closed with the East Stand about one third full with a section of St Johnstone fans and a clump of the Onion Bears.

At half time the score was 0-0 but the intervention of VAR and career ambitions of Matthew MacDermid allowed Cyriel Dessers to open the scoring in the 61st minute.

Ross McCausland scored the decisive second goal in the second minute of stoppage time by then there was barely 10,000 fans left inside Hampden to celebrate the moment.

The victory didn’t come without a cost, newly signed defender Robin Propper suffered a thigh strain in the first half which means that Ben Davies and John Souttar are the likely central defenders to face Celtic in two weeks with James Tavernier and Jefte at full-back.

The enduring image of the match however will be the sad sight of Clement trying to pretend that he is one of the boys by joining the players in their post match celebration in front of 500 Union Bears.

In April he went on a heart thumping lap of honour after a moral victory over Celtic which was followed by taking one point out of six away to Ross County and Dundee.

Since opening up to reporters in Holland last month about the financial problems of the club Clement has been making increasingly erratic comments in the media.

On Friday he complained that he can’t force players out with a gun to their head, at Hampden he joined the serial losers in a bizarre celebration that quickly went viral.
