Why all the beel? At least he's declared openly that he's a Ranger's fan and doesn't pretend to be an Aberdeen fan whose obvious loyalities lie at Ibrox.
Thought you were a Smeltic fan.
I am a Celtic fan ... and a fair-minded one!
Are you really an Aberdeen fan?
Yes. I treat Rangers and Celtic with equal disdain.

Peter has rightly kept his pistol in the holster.
Expect a statement today
No point getting it out and firing blanks.
Scaredy Cat Pete.
CELTIC Football Club today confirmed that it opposed re-admission to the Scottish Premier League by Rangers newco.
Today´s decision to refuse access into the SPL was an overwhelming one and demonstrates the depth of feeling amongst everyone involved in Scottish football.
Fundamentally, the Celtic Board has also been very mindful of the need to take what it believes to be the correct course of action in protecting the integrity of the game in Scotland
The matter is now within the jurisdiction of the Scottish Football Association and it will be for the SFA to decide on the future of Rangers newco.
Throughout the whole sequence of events leading up to today’s decision the Celtic Board has been of the singular view that the integrity of the game in Scotland is of paramount importance. Our only other consideration has been to protect the interests and right of the Club and our supporters.
Whilst the financial implications of today’s vote for Celtic and for the Scottish game as a whole will be very significant, we have already stated that Celtic has a business plan and strategy independent of any other club.
Our supporters can rest assured that we will continue to fight to protect Celtic’s best interests within the Scottish game.
In addition, we will be working with our other fellow SPL clubs in the days and weeks ahead to take all possible steps to maximise commercial returns, which remain crucial in these economically-challenging circumstances. We will also play an active role in mapping the future of Scottish football.
The fans are the lifeblood of the game and we know how strongly our supporters, and those of other clubs, felt about this issue.
We are confident that Celtic’s fans, together with the supporters of all the SPL clubs, will now play a major role in rallying behind their clubs to ensure that Scottish football emerges stronger from this episode.
During Celtic’s long and illustrious 125-year history, there have been periods of difficulty. At these times, our supporters have always stood shoulder to shoulder with the Club. We need our supporters to be with us now, more than ever.
We know our own supporters will be acutely aware of the significant challenges that lie ahead. We enter next season as Champions of Scotland and look ahead to retaining our title and to making an impact in a European context. We know how difficult this will be and we call on our supporters to join us in tackling these challenges, to take their place at Celtic Park, to invest in the Club and to continue to give us the kind of support for which they are renowned.

with rangers out of the spl now it will mark the end of scottish football as you know it, everyone is a loser and celtic will lose the most. all interest in tv football outside the two clubs playing have gone and less TV money that celtic rely on for attracting good players has gone...nobody is interested in watching scottish football unless its rangers v celtic. without that the revenue will drop drastically that many scottish clubs will now go to the wall in the near future...talk about biting your nose of to save your face.......what a drastic decision that will destroy scottish football in the long term....
Scottish clubs have listened to their most important customers. Unlike in England, revenue direct from fans still outweighs TV revenue at all scottish clubs.
What's the point of having a TV deal and empty stadia?
