Simon Jordan has reiterated his criticisms of Scottish football in response to Rod Stewart’s Instagram post attacking him for his views on Rangers and Celtic. During a segment on talkSPORT’s breakfast show, Jim White revealed that Sir Rod had messaged him from Germany expressing his frustration with Jordan’s comments. Despite acknowledging Stewart as a national treasure, Jordan fired back by questioning the musician’s relevance to Scottish football and urging him to focus on supporting English clubs like Arsenal or Tottenham instead.
Jordan defended his critiques of Scottish football, highlighting the challenges faced by the league such as low attendance and subpar broadcast deals. While acknowledging the improvements made by Rangers and Celtic, he emphasized the need for better management and promotion within the Scottish game. Jordan argued that constructive criticism is essential for growth and pointed out the flaws in Stewart’s emotional response to the issue.
Ultimately, Jordan’s intention, like many others, is to see Scottish football thrive and reach its full potential. By addressing the shortcomings of the league and advocating for positive change, he hopes to catalyze improvements that will benefit the sport as a whole.
