One of my inspired columns today, as some of the narratives coming out of the Derby Debacle have been pretty wild, as is pretty typical. The frequency of such hysteria has thankfully been very low given Celtic’s relative dominance in the fixture the past few seasons, so perhaps there has been some mania saved up?

Alan and I, as we are apt to do from time to time, were the targets of all sorts of venom and abuse for having the temerity to question Reo Hatate’s suitability to be an attacking midfielder in Ange Postecoglou’s system at the Champions League level.

My how times change.
