Ewan Murray, a well-known Hearts-supporting journalist, recently criticized Celtic’s dominant 6-0 victory over St. Johnstone. He expressed his views on X (formerly Twitter), implying that celebrating such wins is pointless due to the significant financial disparity between Celtic and smaller clubs like St. Johnstone. His comments seem to suggest that Celtic’s financial advantage makes their victories less impressive, as they are expected to win easily against teams with fewer resources.
Celtic fans were quick to respond to Murray’s comments, reminding him that the club can only play the teams in front of them and pointing out the irony of such criticism given the unchecked financial dominance that Rangers, under David Murray, enjoyed in Scottish football during the 1990s. Many fans feel that Murray’s complaints are reflective of a broader discomfort within Scottish football media when Celtic dominates, especially considering the financial inequalities that historically benefited other clubs.
Murray’s comments have reignited debate over the financial landscape of Scottish football and how it affects competition. Nonetheless, Celtic fans are proud of their club’s achievements and remain confident in their continued growth and success, dismissing criticism from those who, in their view, are simply uncomfortable with Celtic’s dominance.
