Celtic stormtrooper Charlie Nicholas is getting it thick for picking 6 Celtic players in his team of the calendar year, while having space for just 2 Rangers players.

Despite the magical form of so many Gers troops under Gio, and the securing of 55, only Calvin Bassey (who barely played till Gio took over) and Joe Aribo (the best player in the SPL these days) managed to get into Charlie’s team of the year.

Just what criteria exactly is Nicholas going with?

The Kyoto guy has been basically injured half the season, and only joined in the summer (and was destroyed by Balogun). But Nicholas confirms this is for the full calendar year.

He included a bunch of Celtic players, but the biggest jokes are the omissions of James Tavernier (Ralston, really?!), Patterson (Ralston, really?!), Arfield and Kamara and Roofe or Barisic.

In fact, according to the proper Charlie, the best team in Scotland, despite winning 55, being 6 points clear and about to take on Dortmund, are only worthy of contributing two players to his XI.

Ok, it’s all about opinions, we get it, and yes, he’s biased in that he hates Rangers.

But it takes a seriously green-tinted spectacle to omit some of the very best players in the SPL simply because they’re in the Light Blue.

Even more ridiculously, he omits the admittedly impressive David Turnbull who has been one of the best midfielders in the country for a while now. And he IS a Celtic player facepalm

Charlie really does live up to his name.
