Celtic Commentator Calls Out Rangers Fans for Disappearing Act
Celtic TV commentator Gerry McCulloch did not hold back as he criticized Rangers supporters for their disappearing act after their defeat in the Premier Sports Cup final. The commentator took aim at the empty seats in one half of the stadium as Philippe Clement’s side collected their runners-up medals at Hampden.
Empty Seats and Quick Exits
Celtic emerged victorious with a 5-4 win in a penalty shoot-out, creating a final for the ages. However, Rangers fans seemed unable to bear watching the trophy presentation, with many quickly exiting the national stadium. McCulloch, covering the match on Celtic channels, couldn’t resist poking fun at the rival fans.
McCulloch’s Hilarious Jibe
In a witty jab, McCulloch remarked, “It’s good to see the Rangers players will go up…it’s good to see their supporters have waited behind to cheer them…they’re all dressed as seats now.” The commentator’s comment came as James Tavernier led his team to collect their medals with a significant portion of the Rangers fans’ section noticeably empty.
Trophy Presentation Delay
The trophy presentation faced a slight delay as ecstatic Celtic fans flooded onto the track at Hampden. Premier Sports host Emma Dodds humorously reported, “The Celtic fans have held up the trophy presentation because they have come out of the stands…they are clearly fans of Premier Sports because they have taken our boards home with them.”
In a moment of lighthearted chaos, the fans’ enthusiasm caused an unexpected delay, providing an early Christmas present to someone with the souvenir boards. The contrast in fan behavior highlighted the passion and dedication of Celtic supporters in stark comparison to the disappearing act of the Rangers faithful.
