RADIO presenter Tiger Tim Stevens was sent home with his tail between
his legs from Parkhead last night.
The Radio Clyde disc jockey, who also makes the public address system
announcements at Celtic Park, was perhaps a little less than sincere
when he made a half-time request during Celtic's European tie for ''a
minute's silence for Rangers''.
The other half of Glasgow's Old Firm had, of course, by that time lost
their European Cup tie.
Celtic director Tom Grant, rather than thinking the Tiger's skills
were burning bright, took a dim view of the announcement -- and promptly
dismissed Mr Stevens from the Parkhead microphone.
''It was quite a civilised discussion,'' said one observer. ''It would
be wrong to say the fur was flying.''
A crestfallen Mr Stevens was heard to remark: ''I just did it on the
spur of the moment.''

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
