Sky Sports' Spanish football expert was in Scotland recently for a flying visit and it is fair to say the locals were pleased to see him. Balague was given a tour of both the Celtic and Rangers' training grounds, and the Glasgow pub where a Q&A session was held was packed full of inquisitive punters, further confirming Balague's burgeoning popularity. The best reaction most journalists can hope for from the general public these days is mild indifference, but here was one given a welcome so warm it was if he had just invented a magic, self-refilling Buckfast bottle.
