apparently Chris Killin, never played with Hibs, went straight to Celtic when he came to Scotland according to the commentator in the the New Zealand game.

...has anybody mentioned that John Collins is doing half time commentary in the studio for CBC here in Canada....does anybody care????....nice gig though!

Remember as far as the english media are concerned rangers and celtic are scottish football, and even then they are lucky to get a mention. Im surprised they even know we exist! :grr:

IIRC he was a bit of a bad boy when at Oldham.

If it helps cheer you up any I can tell you that Jackie Oatley/Oakley the female footie commentator of Five Live said of Killen "The former Hibs and Oldham player" and never mentioned Celtic at all :thumbsup:
