Celtic fans have always looked upon certian referees with an air of suspicion on whether or not they support Rangers.
And they have every reason to. In the case of John Beaton, here is a guy who frequented a Rangers pub directly after he officiated a Glasgow Derby in which Celtic lost.
And former SFA Category 1 referee, Hugh Dallas, has also had his own misdemeanours after being caught out sharing anti-Catholic rhetoric not too long ago and ended up losing his job.
So it is little wonder a distrusting eye is cast over referees in this country. But one riddle has just been solved by Paul John Dykes about SFA official, Kevin Clancy.
Kevin Clancy – Celtic or Rangers
Speaking on his daily bulletin on A Celtic State of Mind, Dykes gave a definitive answer on where Clancy’s football leanings lie when it comes to the two Glasgow clubs.

Dykes said (A Celtic State of Mind), “At some point this season, Kevin Clancy and his family have received death threats. Kevin Clancy and his family recieved death threats.
“This is a part-time job. And the thing as I can assure you Kevin Clancy is not a fan of Rangers or Celtic. He doesn’t support either of the two clubs.
“100% I can guarantee that’s the case. Right? And people go on about it and say well how do you know that?
“I’ve said before, if I’m speaking to people, I’m a sponge to find out information and to find out sources and I can tell you directly that Kevin Clancy is not a Rangers or a Celtic fan.”
So there you have it. At least we know that if Clancy makes a mistake against us it’s not because he is a closet Rangers fan.
It’s because he is inco… I mean made an ‘honest mistake‘.
