I asked Kyogo after his first game what he thought of the Halliday ‘red card all day’challenge on Callum McGregor and Celtic PR were right down my throat, they then edited it out of the media conference.
Before that as others asked Ange if he thought the Celtic Foundation was a good idea, I warned him about the media, the referees and the corruption in our game all combining around an anti-Celtic agenda. I’m now beginning to regret sitting on the fence that day.
Today Kyogo was called a cheat by two newspapers in Glasgow, the same team who write that fake fan media site Celtic Way. They have had many Celtic fans subscribing, hopefully they are going to cancel now.

Over in Edinburgh they want the match replayed because they were done out of a drop ball and things evened themselves out in Celtic v Hearts games re offside calls, if you can prove that the Kyogo goal was indeed offside. All we’ve had is them saying it was offside.
And all Kyogo did was put the ball in the back of the net. The rest was up to Madden and his assistant. No cheating there. And for the other incident, the one no-one wants to talk about other than Celtic Fans, Kyogo was ASSAULTED by Hearts and Scotland defender John Souttar. That has been proved, yet they ignore it and they pursue their agenda against Kyogo.

Remember earlier this year and the point was made that Eddie Howe’s backroom staff might have looked at Peter Lawwell’s house getting torched and got cold feet about moving to Glasgow?
Karma aside on that one (we got Ange instead!) maybe the Japanese media will start to take an interest in this and come to the conclusion that Scotland is a nasty wee country where Japanese players are made less than welcome. And maybe there will be more cold feet.
Celtic are a club under attack but have a Board who are as always mute on these matters.

Here is where we are with this.@TEnglishSport wasn’t best pleased with Levein calling a Rangers supporting refs handling of a game ‘incompetent’ but the National can run with ‘cheat’ by an ex ref and Rangers blogger, regarding Kyogo.
