Celtic loan man sustains injury blow as ex-Rangers player has say on 'really poor journalism'

Celtic beat Aberdeen 6-0 at Hampden Park to set up an all-Glasgow final. Rangers saw off Motherwell 2-1 in their clash.

The pair are now in European action this week. In the meantime, here is a look at some of the latest news regarding them...

Celtic loan man injured

Loaned out Celtic man Marco Tilio has sustained a ‘hamstring injury’ with Melbourne City. He was taken off in their most recent A-League clash against Western United and will now need to be assessed.

Reporter Sacha Pisani posted on X: “Heartbreaking scenes watching Marco Tilio leave the pitch with what appears to be a hamstring injury. Tilio visibly upset as he hobbles off, having clutched his hamstring in the first half of Melbourne City’s clash with Western United.”

The 23-year-old, who has made seven caps for Australia, returned Down Under in February. He has since struggled for a regular run in the team though due to injury woes.

Former Rangers man slams journalism

Albion Rovers boss Sandy Clark, who played for Rangers during his playing days, has slammed ‘fake news’ that a fan would take over for their clash against Hearts’ B team in Lowland League. It was claimed last week that Duncan McKay would oversee their match against the Jam Tarts after his segment appeared on the 'A View From The Terrace' programme.

Clark has said: “The BBC totally messed up with some really poor journalism. It was basically fake news, putting stuff on that wasn’t agreed. That was the issue. I pulled it right away as soon as I saw how they promoted the situation.

“I genuinely try to help everybody. People in the media, people who do podcasts or students. That’s what I was trying to do with this situation, trying to help out what is a comedy programme.

“It is not a programme I watch but I was trying to help them. The conditions we put to them were very simple. I said that Duncan could join the management team for a day. He would have had access to little bits and pieces, but he wouldn’t have been on the pitch, he wouldn't have been in the dugout and he certainly wasn’t picking the team or anything like that.”

He added: “It’s nothing against the guy Duncan, he was just doing his job. It is him that has suffered the most because I was happy to go along with what we agreed and it had to be done within our conditions, because getting three points was our priority.

“I’m too professional to let anything get in the road of that. But the way this all came across and the amount of phone calls I got asking what the heck was going on created a bit of hassle for us on Friday, but it was no hassle on Saturday.

"A person or persons at the BBC messed up and the sad thing is there will be no repercussions. That’s the bit that annoys me. Saturday was just a normal day and it went well for us."
