In classic Celtic TV style, Gerry McCulloch delivered a cheeky moment that had Celtic fans grinning during the Hoops’ match against Dundee.
While running through the latest Premiership scores at half-time, McCulloch held back the result from Pittodrie – where Aberdeen were hosting Rangers – for just long enough to build anticipation among the Parkhead support watching around the world.
The tease ended with McCulloch dropping the news that Aberdeen were up 1-0 thanks to Nicky Devlin, a scoreline that ultimately led to a 2-1 victory for the Dons and dealt another setback to Rangers’ league aspirations.

The well-timed reveal drew plenty of laughter from Celtic TV co-commentator Peter Grant, while Simon Donnelly couldn’t help but crack a wry smile. With Rangers unable to close the gap in the Premiership race, Celtic supporters are savouring every bit of it, and McCulloch’s moment only added to the evening’s entertainment.
Meanwhile, Celtic were kept busy handling Dundee at home, with Brendan Rodgers’ side not getting an easy ride from a determined Dee outfit. Dundee, looking to climb the table, put up a fight that tested Celtic’s resilience, the game eventually ending 2-0z
For the Hoops, the next month is packed with high-stakes matchups that could define the trajectory of their season.
Celtic will face a League Cup showdown with Aberdeen – who are now positioned as Celtic’s closest league rivals – alongside challenging league fixtures against Leipzig, Hearts, and Kilmarnock. Rodgers will be keen to see his side maintain their intensity, especially as they sit nine points clear of Rangers and look to build further momentum.
With Aberdeen now emerging as contenders, the league is shaping up for an intriguing season where every slip-up could shift the landscape.
Quite the blatant lie from Daily Record “reporter” Graeme Lewis who stated Celtic “deliberately” held back and teased fans to “mock” “the rangers” half time score since they were 1-0 down to Aberdeen.
What he failed to say was that the Pittodrie game started fifteen minutes later than ours and was still playing the first half!
So unlike a gutter press to print such garbage!
Is it any wonder they are a dying paper?
