Growing up in Glasgow can give a person many views the rest of the world would see as blinkered.
Whether it’s the famous old ‘Glasgow’s Miles Better’ slogan or a freezing cold bottle of Irn Bru and a roll and sausage (square, mind) being the best hangover cure in the world, over time people mature and they begin to see things as they really are.
There are, of course, exceptions to the rule, myths and legends that will forever live on in the minds of those who simply refuse to believe the truth, no matter how much evidence to the contrary lies before them.
Many of you may think I am simply referring to the same club/new club continuity myth and other fantasies emitting from Ibrox via Level 5 PR, The Daily Record and other compliant media outlets. I’m not.
There has been a monumental shift in the media since 2012, albeit not the type of shift that was and is still needed, but a noteworthy change nonetheless.
It used to be quite fashionable among the Scottish press to ridicule stories circulating on social media, referring to the sources as “Internet bampots” (Hugh Keevins – Radio Clyde) and “Celtic fans out to stir up trouble with nonsense” (take your pick).
Fast-forward to now and we have columns full of tweets and quotes from fans and bloggers, the majority of journalists and pundits also now have their own twitter accounts.
One can’t help but wonder if things would have turned out differently for the now deceased Rangers had the media given accounts such as RangersTaxCase and CharlotteFakes any sort of respect at all.
With newspaper sales plummeting and their credibility shrinking day by day, it’s clear the SMSM are clutching at straws to retain an audience.
The Celtic fans don’t buy them because of the lies they printed and the rangers fans will stop buying them the more truth they print.
As Fergus McCann once said, “Karma, you are one sexy bitch.”

I see the huns were up to their usual antics over in Deutschland.
Shaming Scotland again with their Hamburg allies backing them up.

They have resorted to chasing more online hits with clickbait to chase advertising revenues.
That will become their business model in the future.
Clicking on their links gives them data to sell advertising at a higher rate.
If everyone truly believes that they are irrelevant then stop clicking on their links.
