Having visited the Follow Follow website the afternoon, to see what they were saying about the story that theRangers are looking at offering Celtic 2750 tickets for the next Glasgow Derby which will take place at Ibrox on Saturday 6 April, I was rather surprised that the first thing you see on their home page is the (misleading) headline “Sir Robert Kelly and his most precious memory” and this image…

Here’s why they are obsessing about Celtic. “Imagine you were a Chairman of a club that had won a major European Trophy and were writing your autobiography.” See that, they can’t even bring themselves to name the trophy in question – it was the European Cup, making Celtic the Champions of Europe in 1967.

“Further imagine that your father had played for the club, was its first campaign (sic) and also had a spell as club chairman. Your wife is also the daughter of one of Celtic’s founders. What would the title of the first chapter of your autobiography be?”

“The chapter is three pages long – a man brought up and surrounded in, steeped in, the history of his club and his most precious memory is a disallowed goal?

“There are people who have said to me why can’t we match Celtic’s fanaticism in campaigns – why don’t (the)Rangers fans stay angry for long or seek real revenge? It’s because we are normal – we actually support our football team in the main for football reasons. We can never hope to match their lunacy. Thanks be to God.”

Talk about being Obsessed With Celtic! Anyway, they have done us a favour as Sir Robert Kelly provides a brilliant insight that takes us all the way back to Celtic before the Great War as he explains what his dad taught him, that the way to beat refereeing bias or bad decisions is just to put the ball in the back of the net as often as possible. That philosophy has stood Celtic in good stead, has it not. Indeed he was writing that as Chairman of a club that was the Champions of Europe – heights the Follow Followers past, present of future will never see.
