As PR own goals go, this hardly merits a mention.
However, it clearly did not go down well with Sevco’s klanbase.
Indeed, there are far weightier issues yet to be revealed in the ongoing Castore catastrophe.
However, I was not surprised to learn this week that some in the Sevco High Command decided that their communications superhero needed some professional help.
Let me explain…
I understand from several well-placed sources that a triple-A PR firm has been engaged to provide firefighting assistance to DUPman as and when required.
The option of a contract on retainer was offered, but the basket of assets turned this down.
Instead, should they avail of the services of this company, then it will be on a billable hour basis.
Obviously, that is at a much higher rate.
Dear reader, you do this when money is tight, and you hope you will not need the help in the first place.
I would expect that the presentation of the year-end accounts, for example, to have a polished professional feel to them.
Of course, the assembled stenographers will gratefully swallow the pre-prepared morsels without a single interrogative.
For the avoidance of doubt, your humble correspondent will reach out to Rugger Guy for a deep dive into the detail.
Meanwhile, I’m sure that young Master Tavenier [sic] is looking forward to the new campaign.
Now, the people at Celtic might want to reflect on how this sitcom of a club managed to wrest the title away from Quadruple Treble winners last season.

Cheap tat. Nothing more to say.
There are certain things in life Timbilly that the human brain just can’t comprehend. Shane Duffy at Celtic being one of them. HH
I didn’t get it at first… I thought it said Seko Tavenier (sick of Tavenier). Didn’t, immediately notice the erroneous spelling of Tavernier. Thanks for the (sic) Phil. All clear now.
Spelling aside,
what gets me is the continuing greed of clubs generally, with regard to replica tops.
They want £15 to “personalise” / add your name to a shirt that, in the above example, costs £65 to start with!
And I would guesstimate it costs less than £10 to actually manufacture these synthetic material tops, in bulk?
£80 for a personalised footy top: absolute rip off!
It gets worse as his full name is Tavernier-Pen.
Last year’s shambles was just a continuation of the previous year’s shambles when Rodger$ took flight the season before. The structural damage he did to the coaching setup will take at least one more season to repair. I just hope Ange gets time to start to fix it.
What is the new colour on the secco jersey? It looks like mustard. Could we call the new colour ‘Hunny Mustard’ ?
The new colour is diarrhoea, it’s in tribute to the hunneys’ defecating in the street.
Also a pity their punctuation was out it the info provided as they used a lower case ‘n’ instead of a capital N in their name ‘New Rangers’.
“SEKO”! Can’t even spell “Sevco”!
That home shirt looks poor on those that wear it, it genuinely looks cheap close up.
Why are the always asking for money?
Why do they not seem to trade players? Rae on Clyde reckoned they had 3 for almost every position. They have 6 CB’s for a start. I don’t get it.
Cheers all!

Off topic…but hopefully acceptably topical….
Just found this re. Tommy Robinson….
It concerns a libel case involving Robinson and a schoolboy called Hijazi.
In the clips, viewed by nearly a million people, Robinson, 38, claimed Mr Hijazi “beat a girl black and blue” and “threatened to stab” another boy at his school.
The judge ruled in Mr Hijazi’s favour and granted him £100,000 in damages, as well as ordering Robinson to pay costs which are understood to be more than £500,000.
Robinson – who was appearing via video link – said he was “gobsmacked” by the costs Mr Hijazi’s lawyers were claiming, which he said included £70,000 for taking witness statements.
Couldn’t make it up.
It took me a while to see the issue, I get it now. There is a letter missing from the name on the back.
Imagine missing the V in Sevko, idiots 😜
Even then,they still messed it up
It is not hard to see why we had a disastrous season last year. All these people contribuited P.Lawwell/D.Desmond/N.Lennon The Celtic board/The want aways/ Who ever brought Barkus/Ajeti/Kenny/Laxalt/ and some other players who where never Celtic quality. Everybody looked after themselves financially.
But there was nobody looking out for the club except the supporters who give millions of pounds in season books over the last few years.
Lets hope it is a new era now for Celtic good luck to Ange as he works his way through the shambles the above lot left behind.
You forgot to mention Shane Duffy.
