Celtic have given quotes to The Sun of all papers in a retort to former Hearts chairman Leslie Deans remarks over the game being replayed between the Hoops and Hearts.
Talking about Barrie McKay being hit by a plastic bottle and Leslie Deans comments – a Celtic spokesperson told SunSport:
A spokesperson said: “His comments are inaccurate.
“He is clearly unaware that we have already made comment and that we were in contact with Hearts immediately after the incident, which is being handled appropriately.”
Unless the Sun have lifted this quote from somewhere else, it’s disappointing to see the club take this tact when fan media could be getting the word out to supporters and at the same time starving a newspaper who have dragged Celtic’s name through the mud regularly.
The Sun have clearly spoke to someone at the club with the article claiming ‘they understand’ Celtic are ‘astonished’.
Again, disappointing to see the club keep the paper in the loop before fan media.
The Sun and other media outlets continue to whip up a storm over Kyogo’s goal against Hearts and printing negative headlines.
The Celtic board need to come out and speak to the fans directly and stick up for the club, rather than do it through this outlet.
Surely putting it out to the press gets it to more people who perhaps don’t follow Celtic media
Well said Sophie, to much paranoia here, the bloggers cannot have exclusivity either.
Well said. These sites are like watching Celtic TV where everyone is against us and fans are never in the wrong and the team never has a poor performance.
If left to Celtic fan blogs we would never know about McKay being pelted several times by missiles last week.
Too little is being done to address this continual nonsense from some of our fans
I’m sorry but are you all not getting the post ? Why the sun ? All it does is bring Celtic down to the lowest ! Why not put out a post to us all through the Celtic media A post that can be posted through an assembled tv/reporters that makes national tv ? Not the Sun exclusively
