    Came across quite classy and sincere, which is a bit of a surprise tbh. Not to say he isn't either of those, but he definitely can come across as a bit of a hotshot. Not the case in that interview.

    Interesting to hear his thoughts on the Deila era, was expecting him to be much more aggressive about it. Still one of my favourite players.

    Not watched those interviews yet. Will need to.

    He's a mince pundit though.

    reading his comments about the diet under Ronny sounds odd, didnt want to post a sun article so just copy pasted his quotes

    The diet was all wrong .

    “Everything about the diet, everything about the off-field activities.

    “There was a guy coming in and saying you’ve got to be under 80kg which is fine if you’re 81.

    “But the guys were 84 and 85kg, losing the best part of a stone in weight and then trying to play football.

    “We were going into game having lamb shanks, we were having whipped cream strawberries, berries…no Lucozade, no Powerade, no carbs, no potatoes. Literally salads and fat

    “There were thing laid on for you, pasta you could have.

    “When you’re being watched all the time, what you’re eating, how you’re living, what you’re doing and if your manager says you can’t do it, you don’t want to then undermine him.

    “I’d never been so thin in my life but I couldn’t run for s**

    “For 60 minutes you felt great and then you’re thinking get some sugar in me, some glucose, some Powerade.

    “And then he was telling you to squeeze it in your mouth and spit it out so you wouldn’t take it in.

    “It wasn’t a Ronny Deila thing – it was everyone in and around him that influenced what he was doing.

    “He didn’t have the minerals for the job that was in hand.

    “He felt too under pressure.”

    And the playmaker said the diet took its toll on Celtic’s captain Brown and former Hoops hero Mulgrew.

    He added: “Look back at big Chico and Scott Brown, they looked finished, dead on their feet.

    “They couldn’t get fit, didn’t look fit.

    He wasn't thin, but bulked up too much.

    Do you know it was a fact at the time during Lenny's days he was the least body fat to muscle in the entire squad. The one with most fat, was none other than big Victor.

    See he has been going on about the Compper transfer being strange.

    He's trying too hard to be controversial.

    It isn't just this though. Punditry is the same.

    I also think he should wait until the window has even opened and closed before questioning why we signed someone who is ineligible for the Europa. No-one knows what Rodgers' plans are.

    Think Kris is missing the most important sporting news. No manager suitable for the Huns and the main man being run out of town. Not saying he can't comment on our news. Of course he will and should. Asking about the signing not being eligible for Europe is a valid point. Turning the signing into a negative because big Martin is 32 and questioning his longevity is very hunnish attitude.

    He's an embarrassment on the tele, he even managed to make Kris Boyd look less dumb just by being there.

    He's excruciating..

    The constant fiddling his thumbs or wiping his eyebrows is bad enough and then he opens his mouth. Somebody listen to how he say's Pittodrie when doing the weekly fixtures :56:

    Sky actually managed to go from bad to worse going from Neil McCann to Dumb(Kris) and Dumber(Kris). How hard can it possibly be two get two decent * who speak sense without talking utter pish.

    Minus charisma. How does a producer look at this (him and Boyd) and think "yep, he's the man for the job"?
