Be careful if someone from Sky Sports wants to shake your hand…

I am not normally paranoid.

The idea that the world is in the “grip” or “handshake” of secret organisations who roll up their trouser legs, poke swords at each other’s chests to prove that they are not women, wear bowler hats and funny furry things on their chests and play flutes and drums in midsummer is not for me.

Normally I don’t think they rule the world and keep Celtic down.

BUT…

I looked at Sky Sports today and I see that at 9.00 and 4.00 they have Scottish Football’s Greatest Games, featuring mainly Scottish Cup finals.

At 9.00 there was Rangers v Falkirk in 2009 and Rangers v Hibs in 2016.

And what have we got at 4.00? Rangers v Hearts in 1996, and then Ross County v Dundee United in 2010.

Does anyone spot a team missing from all this?

The team who have won the trophy 37 times, for example? I might have thought there would be a wee corner for them. Don’t you think so?

Mind you, there is always YOU TUBE if you want to watch Celtic Cup finals, but in the meantime be careful if someone from Sky Sports comes up to you and wants to shake your hand.
