Sportscene, the SPFL highlight show, often finds itself at odds with Celtic fans. The critique centres on its panel of pundits for their perceived lack of insight and the quality of their commentary.
This sentiment has been particularly magnified following Celtic’s recent victory over Hibernian, with attention focussing on pundit Kenny Miller.

Miller, a former professional footballer, is predominantly associated with Rangers, a detail that makes his introduction on Sportscene as a former player of both Celtic and Hibernian amusing, if not slightly misleading.
Despite the factual accuracy of this statement, it simplifies Miller’s complex relationship with Scottish football, especially considering his brief and less impactful stint at Celtic compared to his significant tenure at Rangers, both of them.
This introduction by the Sportscene production team did not go unnoticed among Celtic supporters. They view Miller’s association with Celtic as a minor footnote in his career, rather than a defining feature.
It seems the decision to highlight his connections to both clubs involved in the match might have been intended to add context. Yet, it appeared more as an inside joke among the production team, given Miller’s well-known legacy elsewhere.
