So, the SPFL thought it a good idea for Celtic to come to Tynecastle for a crack at winning the league on the first weekend after the split - when they could’ve made it an Old Firm shootout on the same day Hearts and Aberdeen battled it out for third.
And the last league game of the season, a potential blockbuster of an Edinburgh derby with a place in Europe more than likely to be up for grabs, will yet again have a live TV blackout. As will the entire bottom six over the next few weeks, despite an almighty dogfight between four clubs that would have made riveting viewing.
It’s a joke but nobody’s laughing. And until there are people with an understanding of our game – a real feeling for what people want – making the decisions, the rest of us will continue to walk around with our faces tripping us. The frustrating thing is it’s so unnecessary. Scottish football is brilliant. There’s so much happening all the time and the population is consumed by it. Yet it is showcased terribly.
