Willie Collum and the bizarre Rangers stat shouldn't stop Celtic fans savouring the glory to nitpick VAR

It's not exactly a time when folk are feeling too cheery. The first week in January. Jeez, the dark side of the moon is a warmer place.

When the missus asked the state of the finances she was told they are like my knees after a game on the old red blaes pitches at Toryglen. Totally skint. So perhaps it’s understandable some people are a bit grumpy right now. Even when they shouldn’t be. Like Celtic fans. They have hee-haw to moan about but somehow like to nitpick.

It’s a bit like one of the lads on the Record Sport desk moaning about how he eats like a horse yet is still built like a five quid note. Boo hoo. I’m so fat even my fitba boots don’t fit. Our colleague has nothing to groan about and neither do Celtic fans. Sure, the penalty decision at Ibrox the other day was a contentious one. Maybe the other one was as well. But in these VAR days all penalties are contentious. When the action gets slowed down a nipple twist can look like a mugging and these calls end up like that picture doing the rounds on the internet that had folk arguing whether the dress was blue or gold.
