The Celtic board have fielded a bonkers question from a stakeholder at their Annual General Meeting - as they side-stepped taking the bait on a Rangers query.
Outgoing chairman Iain Bankier, chief executive Michael Nicholson and Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou were amongst those taking questions from stakeholders on a number of topics. While things like the Champions League and transfers were touched upon, one stakeholder took his chance to query Bankier with a loaded question on Premiership rivals Rangers.
Glasgow's big rivalry is famed around the world and this person asked: "Here's an easy question for you then, tomorrow's opponents Dundee United were founded in 1909 and Aberdeen in 1903. Over in Edinburgh, Hibs were founded in 1875 and Hearts in 1876 (actually 1874*). 10 of the last 11 years, we've won the Scottish championship but we didn't win the championship in season 2021.

"Can the chief executive or the chairman tell me what year were the club who won the title in 2021 founded?"
Bankier replied: "I'm not going into that. This is my last AGM. Give me one on referees maybe, but not that. This is your last question, come on, there's people behind you."
A response of ''what year was the team who won the 2021 title formed' was given before Nicholson jokingly interjected 'I think Ian wanted to answer the question.'
The stakeholder wasn't done, asking 'are you afraid to answer?' and Bankier said 'I'm not afraid. I don't think it serves us, or this meeting, to go through that troll." Nicholson promptly put an end to matters.
