I never thought I would see this one happening.
After Celtic dropping more points yesterday with a 1-1 home draw with Dundee United, the Hoops now find themselves six points behind their rivals after dropping eleven points out of twenty one in t he first seven games of the season.
The league table looks bleak. The Celtic starting eleven looks bleak. Even the bench looks bleak.
And you would think that would be music to the ears of the Govan clubs supporters right?
Then you would be mistaken, with one chap taking personal issue with English after he congratulated Dundee United on twitter for a fine draw at Celtic Park, “Great attitude about Dundee United. Some swift attacking football, great work rate and really stout defending.
Will Celtic ever get the move to the EPL?
YES
NO
“Plus some luck. Should have had a penalty mind you. Celtic need Kyogo and McGregor like they need their next breath. Some decent stuff but lack ruthlessness”
You would think after such praise a Celtic fan maybe would have taken issue with Tom’s tweet right?
Again, you would be wrong and what follows is a rather strange and pointless twitter exchange started by this rather bitter Rangers fan:

And it started off all rather innocently:
You’ll be heartbroken @TEnglishSport

55 was hard for you to take. 56 will kill yous

And here is where it took a turn for the worse:
@TEnglishSport Your no mate of mine, you are a bigoted scumbag who can’t handle Rangers winning. You fit the lexicon on BBC Scotland very well.

Just had a brief look at your timeline. Wow. Such hatred. Take your poison elsewhere.

And so did I and yes, there is plenty of hatred and small mindedness on this chaps timeline.
At a time where everything being posted online is being scrutinised to the nth degree by certain factions of the Rangers support, this lack of self awareness shown by this twitter user really is astounding.
