Rangers-linked question at Celtic AGM leaves BBC pundit astonished
BBC journalist Tom English was left in utter shock at a question relating to Rangers that was asked during the Celtic AGM on Friday (4 November).
The Hoops’ hierarchy met with a number of shareholders of the football club to answer some of the more pressing questions they all had to ask but one stood out more than the rest.
One shareholder opted to stand up and ask “What year was the club who won the title in 2021 formed?”, as quoted by the Daily Record, but executive Ian Bankier refused to be drawn in, replying, “I’m not going there!”
English could not believe his eyes when he saw that the question had been asked and that it had supposedly received raucous applause and cheering from those attending the event at Parkhead.
“Somebody actually asked this at the Celtic AGM?” he said via his personal Twitter account as Michael Nicholson also decided to move the conversation on without giving an answer.
Obsessed
Not a day goes by at Celtic Football Club without Rangers being at the forefront of their minds and it seems absolutely hilarious that they can’t get away from it.
If anything, the fact that the Light Blues are back on par with the Hoops having been forced to start again from League Two just 10 years ago suggests that they have been woefully under-performing in the meantime.
There are no bigger rivals in British football so it is perhaps only natural to constantly compare the two clubs directly but there is rarely any conversation about Celtic at Rangers’ public AGMs.
The term ‘rent-free’ is apt here and however long the Bears continue to rise up the footballing hierarchy both in Scotland and on the continent, Celtic will always be jealous.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team talk for the next Old Firm derby has been sorted now too and this comment could easily come back to bute Ange Postecoglu’s side.
In other Rangers news, the green side of Glasgow were awarded £7.5million more than the Ibrox club for the Champions League this season.
