Simon Jordan got into a verbal spat with Sir Rod Stewart, urging the music icon to pick a side between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur after an explicit outburst. The clash initiated from Jordan’s criticisms of Scottish football, suggesting that Celtic and Rangers wouldn’t thrive in the English Championship.
Stewart, a fervent Celtic supporter, retaliated on Instagram, condemning the lack of respect for Scottish football. He singled out Jordan, labeling him as ‘motor mouth’ and called for an end to the negative commentary on their beloved game. Stewart made it clear that while the Scottish league may not be as glamorous as the EPL or LaLiga, it holds a special place in his heart.
Unfazed by Stewart’s remarks, Jordan fired back on his show, highlighting Stewart’s background in London and humorously referring to an ’emu mentality.’ He defended his critique of Scottish football as addressing a valid issue, comparing it to a surveyor pointing out a leaky roof—appraising the substance of the argument rather than challenging the messenger.
In a continued exchange of banter, Jordan playfully teased the music legend about his lavish lifestyle, suggesting that Stewart should be grateful for the attention drawn to Scottish football. He concluded by humorously suggesting that Stewart, hailing from Highgate, should consider supporting a London club instead.
The ongoing clash between the two personalities showcased a blend of friendly jabs and pointed criticisms, illustrating the passion and pride that both hold for their respective viewpoints on the world of football.
