GORDON STRACHAN last night apologised to MailSport writers Mark Guidi and Gordon Waddell over remarks he made about their back page story recording Celtic's approach to Manchester United star Mikael Silvestre.
The Celtic manager said: "Last week I said something flippant in an uncalled for remark about Scottish sports journalists and I'd like to put the record right and apologise to every professional sports journalist out there - but two in particular who wrote the story.
"I'm talking about two of the most revered and well respected journalists in Scotland and their integrity is never in doubt as far as I'm concerned. I'd like to apologise to all sports reporters but these two in particular because their integrity is never in doubt with me and I apologise to anybody who's close to them that I distressed."
