EDITOR COLUMN: The Reality of Celtic Twitter; The Arne Engels Discourse

@NettyCadete

“Henrik Larsson? More like Henrik Loss-son. Comes on, gives the ball away, costs us the game. Waste of money already. #DisasterDebut #Celtic”

@FergusOut

“£650k for this guy? Off the bench, hands Hibs the winner on a silver platter. Brilliant scouting, lads. #Celtic”

@TommyTwists

“All this hype for Larsson, and his first big move is a pass to Hibs! Hope this isn’t a taste of what’s to come… #BringbackDiCanio #Celtic”

@MaestroMcStay

“I’m not saying Larsson is a flop already… but he’s not exactly screaming ‘signing of the season’ with that debut. #Celtic #JustSaying”

@McNamarasGhirl

“Rough start for Larsson—comes on, hands them the win. Can’t see what all the fuss is about. Anyone else not feeling it? #Overrated #Celtic”

Imagine if Twitter had been around during Henrik Larsson’s debut in 1997. That unforgettable moment when his wayward pass gifted Hibernian the win at Easter Road—how different would the narrative have been? Instead of becoming an iconic misstep on his journey to greatness, could Larsson’s legacy have been tarnished by a horde of knee-jerk reactions, each one clamouring to pass judgment on a single, isolated mistake?
