A rival fan from across the city phoned up Clyde SSB tonight claiming no Celtic manager in the last ten years has worn a poppy, somehow this offends him. But for the record, it was a blatant lie by an individual with a clear agenda.

Poppy season has become a regular point in the calendar where faux outrage and idiots combine to try and attack anyone who choose not to wear one.

The whole thing has become a grotesque spectacle and is so far removed from what the poppy was originally about. It’s been hijacked by many right wing morons and people who like to outwardly show support without doing much else for the cause.

For the record, Ronny Deila, Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon have all worn a poppy trackside.

We have an idiot on a national radio show spouting lies to try and score points.

I suppose showing your support is having people abseil from the roof of your stadium or fitting off cannons. Perhaps a sizeable donation to Poppy Scotland would be better.
