Former Rangers manager Mark Warburton was opening up about his time at the club on the Press Box podcast with Graeme Spiers and he was absolutely crucifying the press about the qualit of journalism in Scotland over his tenure as Ibrox boss.
Warburton claims he was treated unfairly by the Scottish press and made a claim about a former Celtic player who he says wrote some derogatory comments about him in the press.
Warburton never mentioned the player involved but I could hazard a guess at to who he was talking about but he was clearly seething when he said, “You’re far better biting your tongue, letting things calm down.
“There was someone, I won’t even name the individual, ex Celtic player, who wrote some derogatory comments.
“Now I could have come back and absolutely destroyed him in the press, in terms of his private life and everything else.
“Why would allow myself to do that?
“Now had I done it, it would have been pages and journalists would have loved it.
“There’s no point. There’s absolutely no point doing that.
“So you just bite your tongue, take the stick for the twenty four hours, and it moves on to the next story.”
Warburton was very scathing of the Scottish press and their lack of quality journalism and shock headline tactics they use to sell their product.
This is unsurprising and one of the main reasons Celtic fan media and blogging has become more and more popular over the years.
