On Wednesday night, in the aftermath of Scotland’s game, some of the online discussion on non-Celtic sites was rather remarkable. Remarkable, not because of insightful commentary, but for how it skewed to praise an Ibrox player while finding ways to criticise a Celtic one. I didn’t start following Scotland until I was in my twenties.
