The comment that got Walker banned from Ibrox
(In regards to the prospect of a European Super League)
"I've been listening to Celtic and Rangers trying to get away from Scottish football for the best part of 20 years.
"If you were to put this to any senior person at Celtic or Rangers they would want to hear what it is all about.
"They want to know how much money they can generate. I think especially for Rangers given their perilous financial position.
“They will want to know what’s happening to the Champions League qualifiers next season. What does it mean? How much money can they get?
“Look at what winning the Scottish Premiership next season brings. It brings immediate access to the Champions League.
“If all that is off the table, then there is a financial landscape that you have to look at that is so serious.
“But let’s not kid ourselves. Celtic and Rangers would want to be involved in this.”

Won't be two-faced and say that his name expressed as Andy Wa*ker isn't appropriate, but that said, a pundit in the pay of SKY who gets up both nostrils of the Old Filth can't be all bad?

Utter welt of a man IMO after his ‘who wants to ok play for Hibs’ comments on scotsport. But that was 15 years ago!
Comments on Celtics Dubai trip were bang on the money.
Comments on Sevco fairly accurate and their response sums up the ‘nobody likes us and we don’t understand why’ attitude. Quite funny

Walker is undoubtedly a knob.
However, he is also an employee of the Sky - who are pumping millions into the Scottish game.
It's time they took the huns to task over this. I'm sure if they stopped broadcasting hun games, demanded the return of any monies already paid to the govan mob
AND threatened legal action for breach of contract then we'd see an end to this nonsense.

Did you read what he actually said, though?

Sky need to grow a set of balls, and tell them they will appoint anyone they see fit to comment on their clubs, and if they dont like it, they will stop reporting from their grounds and any opposition ground they are playing at.
Give them no exposure, let them know who's the boss here, and if they have a problem with it then they can complain to the relevant people.

In saying that, from what I remember he was particularly scathing re. Celtic’s trip to Dubai. He could easily have voiced his disapproval without being as OTT as he was.

Yes the uglies have one skin too few, but on this occasion they have it right. Walker shouldn't be a pundit, he's a tedious negative bore, the sort left mumbling alone at the bar in an embittered jakeball trance, talking to himself, long after every sensible human being has cleared off.
It's amazing that he's still employed in the media. He offers noting to the role, no controversy, just the incitement of utter annoyance that such a bitter nonentity is paid to inflict his neurosis on the public.

Walker is a tosser, but in this case he is hard done by*.
Everyone knows that Sevco spent heavily this season to stop Celtc's ten in a row and need a decent run in Europe next season to bring in money.
And Dubai was months ago, so why have Celtc waited until now to ban him? Two cheeks of the same arse is why.
*I had to read that three times because I still can't believe I have any sympathy for him.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

What happens if Sky say, either you let him in or you’re not getting your share of the tv deal?
United we stand here....

Normally I'd agree but on this occasion, his point about how Rangers and Celtc would view the European Super League... both the effect on them being outside and the fact they'd probably love to be involved... was bang on the money.

Don't mind Walker really. Actually agree with a lot of what he says.

What did Walker say that upset Celtic? The Dubai situation?
Think we all agree that Andy Walker isn't the best pundit and is very annoying at it to boot.
What I don't like about Sky's coverage in England is that they have Carragher and Neville calling their own teams games. How is that impartial coverage. Its the same up here with Biyd and Walker but a different dynamic as Sky need them to cater to the Old Firm fans but when they speak their mind it results in a ban from the coverage.
McCoist is so much better than Walker.

Carragher and Neville are great to watch regardless of if it's Liverpool, Man U or anyone else they're covering.
I also don't mind Boyd - I think his pettiness is pretty funny.
