Tony Bellew aims hilarious dig at Liverpool

Bellew posted on X ahead of Liverpool’s clash against Tottenham and it seemed as though he was congratulating Slot’s side for their soon-to-be second Premier League title.

But, the Everton fan was instead tipping his hat to Celtic, who have just won the Scottish Premiership title this weekend.

Bellew wrote: “ALERT!! ALERT!! Don’t want to be labelled as a “bitter blue” Evertonian, so I’ll give credit where it’s due.

“They’re gonna be crowned league champions this weekend ..and deservedly so..and let’s be honest they have been the best team in the league this season, you can’t argue with that, they are the deserved league champions… so well done Celtic.”

Celtic made it four in a row on Saturday

Celtic clinched their fourth Scottish Premiership title on Saturday afternoon as they thrashed Dundee United 5-0.

Brendan Rodgers’ side extended their lead on Rangers to a whopping 17 points, with the Gers drawing 2-2 at St Mirren.

Celtic have now won 55 top-flight titles, which ties them level with their fierce rivals, who last won it in 2021 under Steven Gerrard.

Rangers are about to be taken over by Leeds United’s owners, the San Francisco 49ers, so they’re expected to be much more competitive over the coming years.
