Sno cites polite racism as reason to leave Celtic by Darrell King.
Evander Sno cut an impressive figure at an improvised press conference at the Bejing media centre, just a stone's throw from the Bird's nest. Speaking in both Dutch and English, Sno conveyed an image of calm and tranquility whilst politely answering questions from both Dutch and foreign journalists regarding his move from Celtic to Ajax.
There was a sense of what might have been in his comments, when he tried to explain why he was leaving Celtic prematurely. In the usual mixture of deference and tact, he expressed his thanks to the Celtic support but pointedly failed to endorse manager Gordon Strachan.
However, at one point in the proceedings Evander Sno did hint at a 'polite' and casual culture of racism at Celtic Park. "I found it strange that Bobo Balde and I have been sidelined, when it is clear that we are capable of making a major contribution to the first team". Visibly angered, Sno then went onto say; "I have read that certain players in the recent history of the club have had a very short stay. Oliver Tebily, Reggie Blinker, Mo Camara, I really don't have to elaborate, do I ?".
Sno's comments are dynamite and add fuel to the flames given the mud that still sticks to Celtic fans since their notorious treatment of Mark Walters in the eighties.Sno's comments could be interpreted as the words of an angry and possibly embittered ex-employee, but there is clearly some truth in what he says.
The 750.000 pounds that Celtic will pocket will be of scant reward for a man who has shown the cerebral side of football, when on those rare occasions he was selected for the first team. Ajax clearly can spot a bargain when they see one and only time will tell if we see Evander Sno on a much bigger stage in the future.
The experience of Rino Gattuso at Rangers was surely an example that Celtic could have followed. Obtain a raw talented youngster, bring him on in the rough and tumble of Scottish football and sell him to Italian giants for an astronomical profit. One hopes that for once, Peter Lawwell hasn't been too clever for his own good.

It lasted an hour online and was in the early editions, which I read.
It's like 1988 all over again. Did you throw bananas at your own players too?
Still it's better evidence that normally provided by the OP
does this mean we're in for a foul post rant by Daftie maimus as he implodes in a shower of bigoted bile
