it is really down to how well her journalistic ability copes with this. I hope that no-one would say she was less of a sports pundit if she moved to Celtic TV though.


That's exactly what I'm worried about. Rolling Eyes

My fear is that they will say to her: if she wants to keep the job - she must only give praise the hoops! Mad However, I'm hoping that Celtic TV bosses won't be as cruel or barbaric as that, and they will just let her do what she does best - Sportscast till her hearts content and praise ALL those who do perform well (not just Celtic)! Cool

As long as she's happy, content, safe and sound - not to mention Celtic TV bosses treating her right. It's cool by me. Cool


We can only hope that she has weighed up all the pros and cons..I am positive that she would have done so. She is a bright young woman who knows what she is doing!! Wink

An old face appeared on Scotland Today.
Nick Dixon reported on the Gretna football story.
Is he back, or was it just a one off?

I've just had a though - Shereen was very good friends with Paul McKinney (former head of news at STV) and the Sunday Herald recently revealed that Paul has accepted a very senior role at Al Jazeera. Do you think we could see Shereen moving to the new AJI? It would be amazing to see her on such a huge platform!



Highly unlikely IMO.

That's unusual, I thought he had gone done South to freelance.

An archived report perhaps?

He's a gmtv reporter now, I saw him doing live reports in gretna for them this morning - probably just did something for STV as a favour.

SMG part own gmtv - so they can use their reporters as and when needed if they really need to.

SMG plc sold their share to ITV plc some time ago.
