Celtic trolled by Scottish Premiership rivals ahead of Parkhead visit as club aim cheeky dig at stadium
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELTIC have the biggest stadium in Scottish football with an attendance of over 60,000. But that hasn't stopped Premiership rivals Livingston from aiming a cheeky dig at the Hoops on social media - over the stadium's away section. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 1 View of Celtic Park Credit: Kenny Ramsay Celtic host Falkirk tomorrow in the Premier Sports Cup and then face David Martindale's Livi side at the same venue the following Saturday - after the Scottish Champions' first leg against Kairat Almaty. It's not often that Celtic have THREE home games in a row, with the cup and European schedule allowing that to be the case over the coming 10 days. But while that might be a positive for Celtic fans, the same can't be said for away supporters, according to Livingston's latest social media post. The Lions appeared to aim a cheeky and subtle dig at the Scottish champions with a post on X ahead of Saturday's big showdown in the East End of Glasgow. Like most football clubs, the Almondvale side stuck out a post tonight ahead of the game with ticket information for fans who plan on attending. But it wasn't just any old post as they also took a swipe at the Hoops' infamous away end in the graphic they uploaded. The club used an image from behind the steel pillar at Celtic Park which countless away fans have been left furious by in recent years - after having a restricted view of the pitch. It's a sight away supporters - who have visited the stadium previously - are well aware of and it's fair to say the post has gone down well with fans of other Scottish clubs. Celtic fans, though, haven't taken the tongue-in-cheek post as well as others. It has went down a storm on social media with well over 200,000 users viewing it already. Livingston boss David Martindale opens his heart on life before, during and after prison.. and the managers he admires most And reacting to the post, one fan wrote: "Absolutely top trolling of Celtic. This is the exact view many away fans get when visiting Celtic." Another said: "It's funny cos it's true. The most restricted views in world football." A third commented: "Amazing. Truly the worst stadium for restricted views in Scotland if not the UK." In a statement on Livingston's website, they revealed fans who wish to be seated with a "non-restricted view" of the game will be charged £36, while those seated behind the pillar will need to pay £33.

Match of the Day ready to return for new season but Premier League fans can catch highlights on BBC much earlier
BBC viewers will be able to watch Premier League highlights this season more than two hours before Match of the Day. The iconic Beeb highlights programme is set to return to screens this Saturday. Mark Chapman will host the first show of the post-Gary Lineker era. In addition to Lineker's departure following 26 years in the hotseat, the BBC will be making other changes to its Premier League output. Match of the Day will continue to provide fans with all the match action plus high-profile punditry. But fans will be able to watch just the highlights on BBC iPlayer from 8pm. Despite all the goals and major incidents being available earlier, Beeb chiefs believe that MOTD will still be able to pull in a major viewership. A BBC press release confirmed: "Published live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app, match highlights from every fixture will drop at 8pm, putting all the biggest moments at fans' fingertips ahead of the expert analysis and in-depth discussion on the main show. "It's a game-changing way to stay connected and fully immersed in the action." Chapman, 51, is set to be the first of Match of the Day's new three rotating presenters to sit in the hotseat. The experienced broadcaster will rotate with Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan throughout the season. Cates, 49, is set to continue her prominent role with Sky Sports alongside her new MOTD duties. Gary Lineker sensationally quits BBC and will not front its 2026 World Cup coverage after anti-Semitism row Per the Telegraph, Match of the Day has managed to pull in a 3.5 million average audience over recent seasons. That is despite plenty of live TV games, streaming and goals being available on social media. Despite Lineker's exit, his right-hand men Alan Shearer and Micah Richards will continue as pundit regulars on Match of the Day. While, as SunSport revealed last month, Wayne Rooney will join the team on a regular basis. 2
