The Secret Service code for Joe Biden is apparently ‘Celtic’ and the Democratic candidate for the American Presidency has this morning been dragged into the debate on the race that matters most – the fight for the Scottish Premiership as Celtic aim to win Ten-in-a-Row.

Biden tweeted what some reckoned was a coded Celtic message to his followers saying “Keep the faith, guys. We’re gonna win this” and quick as flash he was reminded that he should be concentrating on his day job by a fellow Celtic man. “Joe mate, there’s an election on, this is no time to be tweeting about Celtic trying to win ten in a row.”

Another Celtic fan added to the thread by claiming that Joe ‘Celtic’ Biden had been giving his thoughts on some of Neil Lennon’s recent team selections while on the campaign trail. “I heard him saying Turnbull should get played more often,” he claimed the Democratic Presidential candidate had said. While we probably all agree with that, it may well be ‘Fake News’, you’re never sure these days.

And while Joe ‘Celtic’ Biden appears to be a straight up guy his opponent has been disgracing himself this morning by demanding that not all the votes in States where he’s currently ahead should be counted. Trump with his Scottish roots was once linked with a takeover at Ibrox as they desperately tried to avoid liquidation. Maybe he could give the Phoenix club a call later today and ask for advice on how to run a Null and Void campaign after you’ve lost.
