TalkSPORT presenter Adrian Durham yesterday went on an embarrassing rant regarding Celtic captain Scott Brown.
Brown was at the centre of everything against Rangers. He was the target of several lashes out throughout the game by Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent, and Andy Halliday.
Two of the Rangers trio were sent off for their actions, and Brown responded heroically to it all on Instagram.
And it all appears to have been too much for the seemingly biased Durham. He went on a passionate rant about how Brown should be using his status in Scotland for good. He also dangerously links Brown’s on-field attitude to off-field attacks. Have a look at the video below.
Where do you even start?
I mean, what even is that? Durham has never come across as more concerned about the state of Scottish football in his life. You would almost think he was just deflecting from the actual result.
For those unaware of who Durham is – he’s a talkSPORT presenter who clearly has it in for Celtic. He’s expressed a lot of pro-Rangers, anti-Celtic opinions in the past to the point where you subsequently can’t take him seriously. It wasn’t so long ago that he was criticising Brown for celebrating a goal at Kilmarnock.
Make no mistake, if this was Andy Halliday who got the treatment Brown did, Durham would likely be praising him. He loves to find any excuse to have a go at Celtic, and you can tell he hardly believes what he’s saying at times.
Brown won’t be giving this a second thought. He has done plenty for the Scottish game, and continues to be the most influential player in the country. He’s heard it all before, and is used to people trying to troll him on a weekly basis.
If anything, Brown deserves massive credit for his behaviour on Sunday. He was targeted by Rangers players who couldn’t take the result, and the spotlight should therefore be all on them for their appalling lack of discipline. It’s no surprise that Durham can’t see that though.
