O’Hara, the MP for Argyll and Bute has never hidden his support for Celtic, he is a former member of the Glasgow University Supporters Club while his great great grand-father John O’Hara was one of the founders of Celtic.
Being off duty on Sunday McCoist was looking forward to being at Ibrox for the visit of Celtic, normally the complete professional when he is on air he couldn’t resist sharing his intentions to join in the songs of hate that are ingrained into the matchday experience at Ibrox.
McCoist seems to have let his cheeky chappy mask slip here. Perhaps he can enlighten us on which protected group it is he intends to target at the upcoming Glasgow Derby?
From Albion Rovers (Ibrox, Scottish Cup 2014) to Celtic almost every club in the country have had reason to question the competence of Beaton when refereeing their matches. If it isn’t an issue of competence there is only one other explanation.
Yesterday morning the mask certainly slipped as the real McCoist emerged, the guy that spent must of his career in the company of John Brown, Davie Cooper, Jimmy Bell and others that would never be described as liberals or Politically Correct.
Surely an open goal for English who spends most of his life online trawling for anything that might provide him with a rare news-line while tut-tutting over the conduct of the Internet Bampots that he lives off.
Obviously you need evidence in terms to show that, so it was just a case of an off the record football chat with some of the guys that turned up.
Beaton was on VAR duty for Celtic’s defeat at Tynecastle a month ago, prompting Don Robertson to send off Yang Hyun-jun and award an outrageous penalty against Tomoki Iwata.
The tweets from Stubbs illustrate the contempt in which Scottish football is viewed, reinforced by the events over the weekend with Hibs and Celtic giving silent support to Crawford Allan.
For describing it as incompetent Brendan Rodgers got a one match touchline ban, bearing in mind Beaton’s background most Celtic fans would have used another description for his decision making from Tynecastle.
