One of the main reasons Celtic have not taken action against the misrepresentation of facts like that of the Rangers supporting Keith Jackson in today’s Daily Record, is due in part to the weak PR department Celtic have. When I worked in the building there was not a single Celtic fan working in the PR department from the three people there at the time.
In this critically vital area of words coming from Celtic to their support, in this case with regards to what the Club are prepared to accept from, for example the contortion of Neil Lennon’s after match chat yesterday, you most definitely require a Celtic heart & mind to notice, be aware & react to headlines like those in the atrocious Daily Record Sport today.
Embarrassingly, the person who reacted today was our manager and not Celtic’s PR.
Yes, the words were put out via the Celtic website, but I have no doubt Neil initiated that statement, and NOT the Club’s PR. Once again Lennon has had to be detracted from team matters to sort out something this very weak & un-responsive PR at Celtic should have been pin-pricked into taking action themselves!
The main or one of the main PR people at Celtic today is Iain Jamison who never hid the fact he was a Hearts supporter! This person is wholly or part responsible by doing nothing - requiring Lennon having to react to these headlines and story contortion when Jamieson should be dealing with it.
In recent years Celtic PLC have been more akin to employing corporate nodding donkeys with plasticised CV’s who DO NOT STICK UP FOR CELTIC WHEN WE ARE IN THE RIGHT, when it’s their job to be pro-active and react to headlines like today! There are more like him with no beating Celtic heart in positions of influence with egos bigger than any love they proclaim to have for the Club.
At the moment I am verifying a story regarding another Celtic media employee, one who cannot stop talking about himself, with word that a serious number of Celtic fans may have been duped and/or mislead by his actions which could have serious consequences for them! More on that when the exact facts on the matter are learned!
Football Clubs generally DO NOT take sanctions by way of banning the press & media when they are criticised, whether that criticism is justified or not, from official Club press conferences! BUT they must take action against the gross misrepresentation of what was actually said by Lennon after yesterday’s game, compared to what appeared in the Record today. Stop pussy footing about and get stuck into those who portray Neil Lennon & Celtic in this warped and mangled manner!
