Gary Player is scumbag. A supporter of the racist apartheid regime in SA, a man who profited off the misery inflicted on the people of Myanmar by a military junta.
PS If u think politics & golf don't mix, try this - he skipped Arnie's funeral. He did a corporate day instead.

Here's an idea, Celtic fans. Instead of celebrating that a guy has lost his job, let's celebrate John Kennedy and Stevie Woods, who stayed with Celtic at a crucial time in the 2018-19 season instead of heading off to Leicester with Rodgers. Two great Celts. 💚💚
