A classic box ticking exercise. Now withdrawn by Communications Manager Iain Jamieson.<\/p>\n<p>CELTIC AND THEIR MEDIA DEAL<\/p>\n<p>Social media was outraged by the video clip. Celtic blanked it as they disrupted schedules to assist titles such as STV, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/news\/scottish-news\/cops-launch-manhunt-after-masked-36428739\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daily Record<\/a> and the Sun.<\/p>\n<p>Not that many fans are in any doubt about the priorities of a PL that still plays on the slogan of \u2018more than a club\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Of course none of Celtic\u2019s legacy media partners will touch the video clip shown below. That is how the partnership operates.
