IS THERE A CURSE?

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

We've had players leave and fail. Managers jump for big money and fail. Now we have Stan Petrov saying his career in Scotland ended in the Caledonian Stadium.

"A game at Inverness Caley Thistle late last season brought it home. I couldn't get motivated. The spark wasn't there. I spoke to [O'Neill's successor] Gordon Strachan afterwards and he said he totally understood. I said I wanted to leave. He tried to keep me but he knew where I was coming from."

We've had various theories about the hidden powers under Tommy's Turf but can anyone explain this phenomenon? Ever since Chick Young first set foot inside the ground we've had mystical powers? Did he place a spell on things? Answers to Jim Traynor on your call.

Quite simple really, Petrov came up against the formidable ICT defence, couldn't find a way past and said, "F*** this, I'm offsky".
