Why? Why have the Daily Record came out with this piece of nonsense about Celtic defender Carl Starfelt at this moment in time?
Just as CCV signed on permanently, it seems the amount of good news coming out of Celtic Park needs to be balanced out with this unadulterated p**h from this Scottish media outlet.
At this point, there is no need to criticise Celtic defender Carl Starfelt.
The big Swede has just won the league and cup double as part of a brilliant partnership with Carter-Vickers. He has earned a reprieve from the snipers in the Scottish media.
But no, not today.
After a weekend of positive Celtic news, the Daily Record decided to run with this question in The Monday Jury,
Do Celtic need to find a partner for Cameron Carter-Vickers?
The answer is, of course, no because the Starfelt/CCV combination works. But out of the four journalists who were asked the question, only one had a balanced answer.
I’ll let you figure out who that is:
KEITH JACKSON : Carl Starfelt came onto a game in the second half of last season and deserves to stay in the team. But there’s a mistake in the big Swede all the same and he could benefit from being challenged for his position.
CRAIG SWAN : Ange Postecoglou needs another centre-half. Nir Bitton has gone and Christopher Jullien didn’t get a shot at it. Once he’s signed, it’ll be up to the individual to oust the Swede.
GORDON PARKS : The need for a bit of height in the Celtic defence was an issue all last season and it’s something which must be on their recruitment list.
ANDY NEWPORT : Starfelt has certainly improved since his early Parkhead days but there’s no doubt he’s still capable of the odd lapse in concentration. Finding someone with the full package won’t come cheap and that may mean they have to stick with the Swede having splashed out £6m on CCV, with a similar amount needed to nail down Jota too..

Really can’t believe any of these clowns CS had a great season and most of the time was unbeatable in the air and ground considering we had the best defensive record in the league last season maybe it’s jealousy and trying to get him dropped wankers
Who gives a fuck what those h** c**ts think.HH
Its funny how the scum Scottish media never slag joey Barton who said he’ll run the spfl when he comes up and as for a.ramsay whit the f*** was that? at least he conned the cheats out of 2million for 1 full game and maybe 20mims here and their so they rats that try and bring our players just have a look who cost sevco the Europa cup eh shower biased scumbags for that rat paper daily record everyone of the journalists that try and write sh**e..
John, mate! I can’t publish you comments due to the language being used!
The numbers don’t lie but the truth is that big Carl does indeed have a mistake in him (as does Hart) and occasionally between the two of them there has been a couple of instances that led to my heart being in my mouth momentarily. Are we talking Olivier Tebily levels of keechin’ it? No, and neither are deserving of the amount of guff spewed forth by the SMSM hacks who are themselves journalistic bombscares of the worst kind – “wealth off the radar” anybody?
Keith Jackson what a richard-head there’s a mistake in ever player in world football,this guy is a first class W—KER.
Are those the same Journalists who said Virgin van Dyke would struggle in the EPL, Carl isn’t VVD but if he improves again this Season he will do me and Welshie will Improve again under Ange HH
