Gutter Rag the Sun Just Cannot Let It Go With Their ‘Celtic Should Just CONCEDE the Title to Hearts’ Nonsense – Now They’ve Wheeled Out an 84-Year-Old Labour Peer to Tell Us Our ‘Stature’ Would Rise if We Did…

Today, I’m in celebratory form, I have been since the final whistle yesterday.

The curtain came down on what has been the most strenuous, but in the end, the most satisfying season of the 21st century so far.

I don’t need to spell out why that is, you all know.

I’m still having a few bevvies today, but I decided to dip my toe into the SMSM cesspit, and I’m regretting to doing it.

At the same time, I can’t let this one go.

It would be remiss of me to do that.

My guess is that Connor Steel of the Sun (Casual Sports Reporter), doesn’t much like Celtic.

I’d hazard a guess that he’s either a Hearts or an Ibrox club supporter.

Because he’s part of the posse that still believe Celtic cheated their way to this title.

I’m not sure what a Casual Sports Reporter is.

I’m not a Casual Celtic blogger, I write stories about Celtic every day.

If you’re a Casual Sports Reporter, then you are casually reporting on a subject that requires a hell of a lot more than just casual coverage.

Which is why I’m not shocked at the bollocks Connor Steel has decided to run with in his article.

All he wants to do is keep a story alive that should not be getting any more oxygen.

It’s been Eight days.

Eight days since Callum Osmand’s 98th minute goal sealed five-in-a-row, eight days since the pitch at Celtic Park went up like a tinderbox and the SMSM lost their collective minds.

Eight days on, and that gutter rag the Sun still cannot let it go.

This morning’s contribution from “Casual Sports Writer” Connor Steel to the canon dropped at the eye-watering hour of 9:44am.

The headline, in their usual screaming all-caps, reads:

Celtic urged to CONCEDE league title to Hearts over ‘recent revelations’

CONCEDE.

In caps.

I’m not kidding you.

This is the level we are now at, eight days on from a 3-1 win over the Gorgie men at Celtic Park.

And the man they’ve wheeled out to make this demand?

An 84-year-old Labour peer who hasn’t been near a Hearts boardroom in twenty years.

George Foulkes (former Hearts chairman, quit Tynecastle during the Romanov era, guest at Celtic Park the day we lifted the title).

Or Lord Foulkes, as His Lordship prefers.

Last seen, by anyone who actually cares about football, in the hospitality at Celtic Park as a guest on the final day of the season.

Watching the Gorgie men get spanked 3-1.

You read that right.

A guest.

At Celtic Park.

He sat in our ground as our guest on the day we lifted the title.

Watched the Gorgie men lose.

And is now publicly demanding we hand that title to them.

The brass neck of it is genuinely staggering.

Jesus wept.

This is the proud old face the Sun have decided is the perfect spokesman for their latest crusade.

That tells you everything you need to know.

Sit back and read His Lordship’s pearl of wisdom.

Here it is, in his own words, on his own X account, fired off into the timeline yesterday:

It is now open for @CelticFC to take account of recent revelations and concede victory to @JamTarts. Their stature would rise enormously and it would set the scene for a fair, and possibly crisis and trouble-free, contest next season.

Read that twice.

Read it three times.

Take it all in.

“Their stature would rise enormously.”

That’s an actual line from an actual sitting peer of the realm.

A Labour lord, in 2026, telling us our stature would rise if we just handed our title to his old club.

Give me a f*****g break.

I’ll wait.

And the “recent revelations” he is leaning on?

Let me get this straight.

Foulkes’ tweet doesn’t say what the “revelations” are.

It can’t.

Because the only “revelations” of the last eight days have gone in one direction.

And it isn’t the direction His Lordship would like.

The SFA released audio from Celtic Park confirming Hearts wanted the game finished after Osmand’s third goal.

Derek “Siege Mentality” McInnes, on tape, asking for the game to be wrapped up so he could get his players off the pitch.

And eight days on, the complete absence of any footage of any Hearts player being assaulted at Celtic Park.

Not a single second.

Not one.

Do you think if that footage existed we wouldn’t have seen it by now??

Even Martin O’Neill, asked about Tony Bloom’s assault claims, has stated it on the record – the allegation “has not been proved”.

Every single “revelation” of the last eight days has gone the other way.

Every single one.

Make no mistake – none of this is news to the Stenography Corps at the Sun.

They have covered the whole lot.

They just don’t want their readers thinking about it too hard.

So they paste recent revelations into a screaming headline.

Reach for a Labour peer’s title to give it credibility.

And hope nobody looks too closely at what those revelations actually are.

The gutter rag at its finest.

Then there is the secondary “revelation” they’ve quietly tagged on.

The KMI panel.

The same panel that this week decided, by a majority of two to one, stated that the Iheanacho penalty against Motherwell shouldn’t have been awarded.

A penalty.

Deep into added time.

In one game.

Two weeks ago.

Reduced, after the fact, by three blokes voting 2-1.

That, apparently, is grounds for ripping our title off us and dropping it in the Gorgie men’s laps.

The bottom line is this.

The penalty, by their own logic, was a coin-flip decision.

One of the three said VAR got it right.

The other two disagreed.

So the Sun are stacking a 2-1 panel vote on top of a pitch invasion narrative that has already collapsed.

And calling that a “revelation”.

Is this satire??

Are we supposed to take this seriously??

Bollocks.

All of it.

Total bollocks!

And here is the bit they don’t want you to notice.

The SPFL are investigating five games right now.

Five.

Not one.

Not two.

Five.

Celtic at Motherwell on the 13th.

Celtic at home to Hearts on the 16th.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Hamilton Academical in League 1 on the 2nd of May.

Hamilton’s League 1 play-off second-leg against Clyde at Broadwood on the 15th.

Stenhousemuir’s Championship play-off second-leg against Alloa on the 16th.

Five matches.

Pitch invasions and crowd encroachment at every single one of them.

Inverness clinched the title and promotion to the Championship after one of them.

Hamilton and Stenny won their ties on aggregate after the other two.

Did George Foulkes fire off a tweet asking Inverness to “concede” the League 1 title to Hamilton?

Did His Lordship pen a strongly-worded letter to Ian Maxwell demanding a review of the Stenhousemuir-Alloa play-off?

Aye, me neither.

Funny how it works out like that…

And the bit about a “crisis and trouble-free” contest next season is the giveaway.

This is what they actually want.

Not justice, not consistency.

Not even Hearts winning the title on the park.

What they want is for next season to start with our trophy taken off us.

Foulkes himself spells it out in his own tweet.

It would set the scene for a fair, and possibly crisis and trouble-free, contest next season.

Possibly crisis and trouble-free contest?

PMSL here…

Translate it from peer-of-the-realm into plain English.

We lifted the trophy in front of 60,000 people at Celtic Park.

The bunting went up.

The parade rolled out.

The fans flooded the streets.

And His Lordship wants the whole thing rewound so that the next campaign feels a bit nicer for his old club.

This is the same Labour peer who has already written to Ian Maxwell at the SFA demanding a “review” of the match.

The same man who has decided that pitch invasions cannot be tolerated.

Not, you’ll notice, all pitch invasions.

Just ours.

Funny that.

Eight days. And they’re still ranting into the void.

The SPFL have already confirmed the match was not abandoned.

Don Robertson blew the final whistle.

The result stood.

The trophy was lifted.

The table reads Celtic.

82.

Five-in-a-row.

That’s the record.

I’ll keep saying it till I’m blue in the face.

That’s the table.

That’s the season.

No Sun journalist is changing a single line of it.

No 84-year-old former chairman with a typing finger and a grudge from two decades ago.

The man who sat in our ground as our guest on the day we lifted the title doesn’t get to decide who won the league.

That was decided by 38 games of football.

By Martin O’Neill and 11 men in green.

By Callum Osmand in the 98th minute.

Not by a tweet from the House of Lords.

So the Sun can run another one tomorrow.

And another the day after.

And another the day after that.

We’ll still be five-in-a-row.

And they’ll still be ranting into the void.

Ranting into the void.

Ranting into the void.

The table doesn’t lie.

82.

Five-in-a-row.

And no tweet from an 84-year-old Labour peer is changing a single line of it.

Keep crying.

Cry all summer for all I care.

This pain needs to be bottled, it really does.
