Some Celtic fans have been discussing a tweet about SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan that recently emerged on social media.

BBC Scotland’s chief sports writer Tom English recently tweeted about MacLennan. He slammed him for not making himself ‘available to journalists for once’, despite having worked in the media for ’40 years’. He also revealed that MacLennan is ‘strangely reluctant’ to make contact with the media in light of the recent furore over the vote to end the football season in Scotland’s lower tiers.

This comes after MacLennan had released a Q&A on the BBC, answering some questions about the league seasons in Scotland and the SPFL vote, stretching up to almost 3,500 words and talked about a variety of issues.

When did Celtic first sign their current deal with New Balance?

On seeing this, many Celtic fans slammed English and defended MacLennan.

Has the media in Scotland let Celtic down?

Yes, they have

Yes, they have

That's too harsh

That's too harsh

What do we think?

English’s tweet is very valid, considering The Scotsman had also posted an article criticising MacLennan and his handling of the whole situation. The article asked MacLennan to provide ‘clarity’ on multiple issues, implying the situation could have been handled better by the SPFL. In that sense, English is right to point out this issue and the fans should listen to what he is saying.
