A mischief maker has gone above and beyond to try and catch Celtic fans out today after a well executed video graphic emerged declaring Steve Clarke was the new Celtic manager.
The account popped up as CeificFC as their handle but had all tags and images related to the official account.
To be honest, as wind ups go, someone has put the work in.
? #CelticFC are delighted to announce Steve Clarke has agreed terms with the club to sign as head coach on a pre-contract.
Steve will join up with the squad following @ScotlandNT’s @EURO2020 campaign.

The Celtic manager vacancy is the source of much speculation since Neil Lennon departed last week. The Hoops hierarchy have yet to show their hand with regards to a permanent replacement – the reins being held by John Kennedy until the end of the campaign.
Clarke’s name has been mentioned as a potential candidate for the role but there’s nothing substantiated at the moment for his appointment or anyone else.
The club roll on for now and hope to finish the season strong but after the Aberdeen game on Saturday, we could be in for a few more drab performances before the end of this term.
