As a Celtic fan I've never had much time for Rangers FC, as you can imagine.
This was down to the usual footballing rivalry and their shameful signing policies in the past.
And then along came David Murray. Scotland's answer to a backwards Donald Trump.
It always annoyed me how the press had their lickers right up his passage. You used to pick up the papers and read stories about how great the guy was on an almost weekly basis.
Sports journalism in Scotland became all about lobbying Rangers for exclusives in return for good PR.
Then along came Craig Whyte. A man who in his past had his run in's with the press due to his nefarious business dealings. His mistrust of the press meant that the Scottish press pack had to actually work for their stories.
Fast forward a few months and the amount of none stories coming from certain journalists is very embarrassing. The latest being Mark Guidiās cracker about there being a deal on the table to clear the tax bill.......Which was later shot down by Whyte himself.
As a Celtic fan it's hilarious to watch these lazy journalists finally go into meltdown. They are stuck between wanting to go back to the old lobby system, or actually reporting real facts.
I don't want to see anybody lose their jobs, but it sure is nice seeing these guys sweat a bit.
During all of this there has been an up-swell of new media on the internet. Much of which is spot on when it comes to telling us all what's going on at Rangers.
The next few years won't just be about Rangers and their troubles......It'll also be about how Scottish journalism can survive the new media.
We live in interesting times.
