BT and BBC pundit Michael Stewart has branded Hearts fan and golf correspondent Ewan Murray ‘extremely sad’ after he tried to talk down the Scottish game and not for the first time.

Murray, who tries his best to upset people with his ignorant approach to all things football tries his best to discredit Jack Ross and his Sunderland opportunity, citing the league he just got St Mirren promoted from is terrible.

Stewart, who continues to talk up the Scottish game at every opportunity took major exception to the comments.

A guy who deliberately calls the league the wrong name while trying to undermine the good reputation of an impressive young manager appears to be doing someone else’s work to curry favour. All extremely sad really. https://t.co/F3hDg2OAJW

St Mirren surprised many who had not tipped them to get anywhere near promotion at the start of the season to becoming runaway winners.
