ian1964 10,723 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 TROLL WITH IT Celtic troll Rangers over Uefa Cup Final loss to Zenit St Petersburg ahead of Europa League clash against Russian side The Hoops face Roberto Mancini's side on Thursday almost a decade after their rivals were beaten by them in the Manchester final By David Fowler 13th February 2018, 12:57 pm Updated: 13th February 2018, 1:01 CELTIC’S official Twitter account has trolled Rangers – about the Ibrox side’s Uefa Cup Final loss to Zenit St Petersburg. Brendan Rodgers’ side face the Russian outfit in the Europa League on Thursday night. And the clash comes just over a decade after Zenit beat Gers 2-0 in Manchester to clinch their first European trophy. The light-hearted dig came shortly after a mix-up over Zenit’s badge – with Celtic’s match programme using the old version. The Hoops wrote: “We love the current badge, guys, but we thought it would only be right to pay tribute to your greatest European triumph. Retro #CELZEN #Manchester2008.” Earlier they’d posted a sneak-peek of the match programme which features comic-style images of Scott Brown and Zenit’s Aleksandr Kokorin. However, the Russian champions were quick to pull them up about the old badge. They said: “We love the cover guys but you’ve used our old badge! Remember what happened to @MailSport when they messed with our badge!” Zenit’s page was inundated with jokey messages from Bhoys fans, with several using Conor McGregor’s legendary “You’ll do nothing!” quote to respond. @cozzamcl_67 wrote: “Jozo will put yer whole club in the air.” @Andy90_PT said: “Yer da sells avon!” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2224586/celtic-rangers-uefa-cup-zenit-europa-league-parkhead/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,293 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Nothing Conor McGregor has done could be considered 'legendary', unless you're a child. I'm just glad I'm not on Twitter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The Official Celtic Twitter account, more and more, looks like It is run by a 12 yr old. Last week they were celebrating the "7th anniversary of the invention of "The Broony"" - when Brown stood in El Hadj Diouf's face with arms spread wide. Childish. I am just glad that our official Twitter account is much more respectful. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Classless from the manky people as usual, in fact they are so far beyond classless, calling them classless is a compliment. In that case should i delete this post now? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'd be embarrassed if our club ever did something like this. I like to think we've always been the classy club, and this just further reinforces that view. However, just like the Scottish gutter press, they are giving their fans what they want .... negative stuff about Rangers. Therein lies the difference between us and them. I don't care one bit about them. I don't watch their games. I don't read much of what they'd say (but I'll admit to having had a peak on Kerrydale for some humour after certain events). I don't look out for their results. I don't know most of their players' names, and I certainly don't care for their opinions on anything. For Celtic, it's all about the Rangers, so I suppose in that sense we have something in common with them .... We are all obsessed with the most successful club in the world. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,604 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 It's a wee bit childish, but nothing to bother about -- other than being glad our feed seems to be run be an adult. If they're having a dig at us, they must be a tad worried. Obsessed, indeed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 History is rewritten once again. Maybe there should have been mention made of the fixture list leading up to that final. The manks will be at full strength and rested. Let's see how they do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Do you think someone has noticed that the inevitable rise of Rangers is getting close? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
